My personal information was compromised during the Equifax data breach. The trust of just shy of 150 million people has been abused, and frankly it is outrageous.

State: OH
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I pulled my credit report using my XXXX XXXX alert and noticed an inquiry had been made using TransUnion on XX/XX/XXXX by a company called XXXX. I do not recognize this company nor did I authorize anyone to run my credit. I was not even in the United States at the time of the inquiry. I was in XXXX visiting family for the holidays. I searched XXXX XXXX XXXX on the internet and called their number. XXXX. I requested to speak with their fraud department. They said they did not have a fraud department. I found this to be a red flag. I was not comfortable giving my SSN # to a stranger over the phone. They did run my name and verified there was not an account under my name or record of someone using my name. They advised me to call TransUnion. I called TransUnion on XX/XX/XXXX to file a dispute. I was advised that I needed to file a claim with the FTC or the Police Department. I would then need to submit that paper work with TransUnion with my case number via the mail. I also inquired as to why TransUnion is the only company that Fraudulent activity is occurring on. I have had a Fraud alert on my account since XXXX of XXXX  because I was a victim of identity theft. XXXX and XXXX have placed notifications on my Credit Report. However the fraud alert does not show on my printed report from TransUnion. If I logged in to TransUnion it shows I had an alert placed on my account in XXXX, it was due to expire in May but I edited and extended it on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  for XX/XX/XXXX. When I asked the agent from XXXX why the fraud alert did not flag this inquiry they claim it's because I did the initial request through XXXX and not them. XXXX appeared to not have an issue. The initial Fraud Alert was placed because someone had tried to open accounts in my name through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and TransUnion allowed that Inquiry to happen XX/XX/XXXX. These inquiries are negatively impacting my credit. Please advise on what paper work I need to file with TransUnion to continue my Dispute. I'd also like a direct answer on if disputing this inquiry will again negatively impact my credit score. TransUnion Representative just continued to read a pre-scripted response when I asked this question.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: OH
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
I have had this account less than 60 days. This is my 2nd complaint I am filing. I am a XXXX  and I work for another XXXX  in XXXX XXXX. I am requesting the CFPB really look into this complaint -- a normal consumer may not know the avenues to take. 

I wrote a check for XXXX to my landlord. Check number XXXX. My account balance exceeds {$5000.00}. I received a vm yesterday XX/XX/XXXX requesting I call HSBC. I was working and was not able to call them back before they closed at XXXX XXXX EST. I also received an email. 

I called HSBC this morning XX/XX/XXXX. I verified my information and that the check was valid. I was informed that the check had been returned and that I was okay to write a new check. The reason the check was returned -- my signature on the check did not match the signature on my account. I proceeded to inform them my account was opened online -- there was no signature on my account. The signature also matches the other checks I have written and cleared the account. 

Now my reputation with my landlord is tarnished as HSBC returned my check without proper cause -- when I had the funds in my account. I will be charged a late fee from my landlord and any other fees that he incurs as a result of HSBC returning a check when I had funds in my account. HSBC should be responsible for these fees due to their errors. 

Again I asked to be transferred to the complaint area of HSBC and was told there was no such area. I asked to be transferred to the executive office and again was told that I could not be transferred. 

HSBC has no way of internally escalating customers complaints when they call into HSBC. They have no way on their website for contact information. Most consumers would just get frustrated and not pursue the compliant. As I am in banking, I know that I can get a proper response by go to the CFPB. This should not be the case. This bank should be required to have an internal mechanism that a consumer can access to escalate concerns with the Bank. 

I don't want the canned general response. I want this bank to actually do something and fix their practices -- they make life difficult for other banks. I will be closing my account and going to another bank. This is ridiculous at this point.

State: TN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I applied for a FHA mortgage from Guild Mortgage for a manufactured home because the other company that approved me for a loan would not give loan for manufactured home. My realtor told me I could get a loan for manufactured home through Guild. I applied, sent all paperwork they requested. They then asked why my XXXX  payments did not show on my checking account. I told them I had a representative payee and my XXXX  payments go to our account with both our names on it and she transfers money to my account as needed after all bills are paid. They wanted the paperwork stating that I had a representative payee. I sent that. They already had my last 2 yrs taxes, benefit statements. They then said that the XXXX   benefits was my representatives income and not mine. I told them they were wrong. Sent them the social security act that states what a representative payee is and how it works and that the income was mine. They said they would send it to an underwriter and get back to me. I informed them they were wrong and that I would seek representation because I felt they were discriminatory towards me because of my XXXX and that my income was XXXX payments. That upset them and sent my complaint higher up the chain. I was sent an email stating they would look into the matter and get back to me within 30 days. Well, the house I want might be gone in thirty days. This process has already gone on for 2 weeks. Now I am Afraid to contact other lenders because this might happen again and I don't want my credit to keep getting checked cause that messes with score. I also will not find another house any time soon that fits our requirements and for an outstanding price I can afford.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: MT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been requesting a review of our LVR to cancel our PMI requirement. To date we have received nothing but form letters with a box checked stating we have not met the required LVR. On XX/XX/XXXX we submitted another request with supporting documentation, on document from Freedom Mortgage showing their estimate of the value of our home along with a market comparison supporting that estimate from Freedom Mortgage. The response we received to our message on XX/XX/XXXX stated that additional research was required. On the same day Freedom Mortgage submitted the same form with the same box checked regarding not meeting XXXX. It is my understanding that mortgage lenders are required to automatically cancel PMI once XXXX reaches 78 %. We believe we have exceeded that 78 % and Freedom Mortgage has delayed ANY evaluation now for near 60 days. Looking for help from your agency to help us with this request to cancel PMI. In closing, we did NOT select Freedom Mortgage as our lender, Freedom Mortgage is our THIRD lender in LESS than a year to have purchased our loan!

State: LA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
Unfortunately in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, and also XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX monthly payments were not submitted on time. It was an exceptionally busy time in my life as I was balancing a divorce, school and in between jobs. My ex-wife was the primary driver of the vehicle and I was unaware of the late payments she continuously made towards this account. I recently received the car back in my possession and paid the account off in full satisfying all past due payments and fees, before I was required to. I no longer associate with the person that let this payment obligation go unattended to and I fully respect my obligations with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid the car off in full to amend my relationship with my lender so that I could regain trust as I begin my climb to fix my credit and relationship with XXXX XXXX. The total amount paid to satisfy the account in full was {$8500.00} between the days of XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. 

It has come to my attention that because of these late payments with XXXX XXXX XXXX, I'm being rejected for careers in my field as well as hindering me from purchasing a home. As you may know, FICO scores are being used more and more in the selection of applicants. In light of my renewed focus, demonstrated commitment to rebuilding trust with your company and no longer associating with the person who caused these late payments, I'm requesting that you please give me a second chance at a positive credit rating by revising the late payments that are reporting with Transunion and XXXX. I sincerely hope that XXXX XXXX XXXX  believes in their customers and I humbly request your consideration to allow me to pursue the career of my dreams as well as providing a home for my family to call our own.

Complaint:

The bureaus did not delete the inquiries, nor did they respond within the 30 to 45 day timeframe that they are supposed to respond in per the FCRA. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( I sent these certified to prove deliver, I attached the delivery confirmation to this complaint! ) I sent another letter to each of the bureaus demanding they delete the inquiries that I did not authorize. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I still have absolutely nothing! No investigation was undertaken, no verification was made, and no response was sent to as they are REQUIRED to do by law! I have a legal right to all these things and the bureaus have a legal responsibility to respond to my disputes.
