Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OR
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I attempted to temporarily lift my credit freeze on the Equifax website. 

However, the website indicated my account was not working and I should call. 

After going through the a lengthy verification process and a length troubleshooting process, the support person was unable to fix my account, but they did temporarily lift my freeze for me. They said they would reach out about how to access my account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I needed to lift my freeze again. My account still did not work. However, after again doing the lengthy process of verifying my identity, they told me I could not speak to an operator and that I should provided the required documentation by mail or fax but did not say what documentation to mail or fax or where. 

I'm now stuck. There is no way to speak to anyone there without verifying my identity. There is no information on their website. I never chose to work with Equifax, and they are now wasting my time with their XXXX bureaucracy.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX is an agency Ive never heard of. They demanded me to provide them with my information in order to release who they are. I wasnt asking for account information, but a brief description of who they are and what they do. I spoke to someone and they told me well, when you are ready to provide your information, then you can call us back and then hung up on me. I called back and took a risk by verifying my birth date and I discovered XXXX   XXXX XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, AL was a 3rd party collecting for XXXX. This was for a XXXX bill in the amount of {$720.00} for a phone. The next representative was polite enough to talk to. I informed her that I wanted a statement in the mail and would be willing to take care of the balance or work out a payment plan once I received it. It appeared she took what I said personally and said that I am refusing. Her tone of voice changed. She became very cynical and was unprofessional. I am very skeptical with making payments to this company. This is a collection agency and I would like for the phone calls to be monitored to and from my cell number.This way, it will reveal how these representatives talk to people and how they represent their company. I am more than willing to take care of this, but I rather have a statement first before I give my personal banking information to them and that is something they could have verbally said to me in a professional way instead of being impolite and hanging up on me. 

I spoke with XXXX and they recommended that I speak with a manager at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I sent them an email and has yet to receive a response and I have still not received a letter regarding how much I owe. I would like something in writing. 

Once this is resolved I would like to talk to a supervisor to manage my account and work with me on some type of payment plan.

Complaint:
CFPB Complaint XXXX See above case number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I tried to do a loan modification with SPS. SPS is stating to me that because I had other reviews in the past the investor says I am not eligible. I next submitted a short sale and SPS is stating because of how far behind I am on my mortgage that a short sale is not an option per the investor. The investor is XXXX XXXX. I spoke to XXXX XXXX and they stated I am eligible for a short sale because I never did one before. 

SPS should open my short sale review. I am eligible and they refuse to confirm this with XXXX XXXX. They should also open the review because these short sale documents were submitted 37+ days prior to my scheduled foreclosure sale date. 

SPS said they would review and now we have moved the file to a short sale and they are stating they need 45 days and the sale date was 42 days away when the file was submitted. They are changing the guidelines as they go in order to not open my file.

Complaint:
Our family has a Bank of America XXXX XXXX visa card with an associated annual fee. One of the purported benefits of the card is that when it is used for travel on the airline baggage fees are waived. We attempted to resolve a baggage claim fee charged to us at the airport automated kiosk with customer service staff and they told us to resolve it later via their toll free number so that we could make it to our flight. In person, staff reassured us that we could resolve the situation later. We called the toll-free number today and were informed that the {$50.00} baggage charge would remain because we did not use the appropriate card with the appropriate reservation. 

Feels like a fradulent perk of this card. We would like to dispute this charge and the customer service around this issue was terrible!!

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
A credit card was fraudulently opened in my name in XX/XX/XXXX with Synchrony Bank. I did not notice the account on my credit report until the account was in default with a balance of approximately {$5000.00} in charges and fees. In XXXX XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the bank and they quickly acknowledged that the account was fraudulent and stopped reporting the account to the credit bureaus under my name/ssn in XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XXXX of XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) acquired the debt. At some point in the fall of XXXX, I received correspondence from XXXX regarding this debt. I emailed the contact on the letter, informing them that the debt was not mine and was a case of identity theft. When I continued to receive correspondence from XXXX, in XX/XX/XXXX I sent them a letter via US mail stating clearly that the debt was not mine. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, in response to my letter, XXXX sent me a collection of statements for the account that show my name as the account holder, but which list an address in another state from the one in which I live and is for a property that I had previously owned but had not lived in for more that 8 years and had sold 7 years prior to the fraudulent account being opened. Included in that correspondence from XXXX was a blank affidavit of fraud that XXXX asked that I complete and return, should the account be fraudulent. I completed and signed the affidavit and emailed it back to them on XX/XX/XXXX. I received no response for the email I sent with the affidavit. 

Despite the fact that I have clearly communicated to XXXX both via mail and email that the debt was opened fraudulently in my name, to include providing them with a signed affidavit stating such, on XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter from XXXX in which they are now threatening legal action to collect he debt. 

Contact information that I have on the debt collector : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX UT XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX
