Complaint:
XX/XX/2022, I sent a letter to the courthouse asking do the report bankruptcies to the credit bureaus and I got a letter stating They do not report any bankruptcies to anybody. So if thats the case. How did the credit bureaus verify my bankruptcy as 100 % Accurate. They never did a fair investigation according to the 15 USC 1681. 

15 USC 1681 section 603 ( 3 ) ( E ) States ; The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. 

They also violated my rights numerous times. 

The credit bureaus violated my given rights under 15 USC 1681. 

According to : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

According to : 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions According to : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC
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: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how equifax has handled reporting this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media. 

Going forward equifax should be required to monitor every account and notify victims if any fraud occurs. Credit fraud protection should be mandatory for every account, not an option for us to have deal with. 

This should be rectified firstly by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. Requiring a police report is absurd when they clearly know if you were affected.

Hello- XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that uses Wise.com to make international payments to offshore contractors ( mainly programmers ). I made two transfers : 1.  XXXX XXXX for {$6700.00} 2.

However my transfers have still not been made, and despite sending multiple emails and making multiple calls to the Wise customer support team, I have not been given any reason as to why the transfers have not been completed or where my funds currently are.

I believe this is a systematic problem with Wise as several consumers and small business have indicating that their funds have gone missing after attempting to using Wise : XXXX XXXX XXXX I urge the CFBP to kindly investigate their practices and help us consumers get back our hard earned money. Thank you.

Complaint:
Received a call today from someone who they said worked for Coinbase and saw someone was trying to login to my account from an unauthorized device. He asked for my 6 digit authentication code. Code was given, as he reassured me with a reference number that he was an actual representative for Coinbase. That person changed something in my account cause I received an email stating the 2-factor authentication was changed. I then see a withdrawal from my bank account to my email, which was {$1000.00} and used to buy bitcoin. I then disable my account. I have been emailing with support shortly, asking me to provide a selfie of me and my ID and to be sent to this site. I have not received anything from Coinbase regarding my account nor my money. I made my bank aware of the {$1000.00} transaction and filed a fraud claim. My bank is XXXX XXXX  ( Massachusetts ). I have a total of around {$4000.00} linked to my account, in which these scammers had access to.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am potentially exposed to the XXXX 2017 Equifax data breach. This is the most recent of many data breaches I have been potentially impacted by. It is clear to me that companies that are in possession of my highly personal identification details are incompetent in regards to its safe keeping. For every one of these breaches, these companies offer a year of " free '' credit monitoring which then is charged as a subscription service thereafter. To single out Equifax, there are reports that agreeing to such a service is also agreeing to forced arbitration, essentially holding my identity and rights as a consumer to take legal action hostage for such protection. This information is in most cases permanent and unchangeable without undue burden such as a social security number. I feel that these companies have not taken appropriate actions to safeguard my personal information because there is no incentive for safekeeping or monetary penalty for failure ( i.e. fine levied ). It is an insult that they will offer " monitoring '' to the victim of these breaches through their own corporate division when they are the the entity that is clearly incapable of protecting my information in the first place. At a minimum, I would expect industry wide changes in practice that penalize corporations for their inability to safeguard this information. I believe lifetime credit monitoring is more than a fair trade for the repeated exposure of this information that an individual like myself has endured.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Equifax has mishandled my information, did n't notify me ( I found out via social media and had to go to their poorly made response site to check for myself ), and now has cost me several hours, some money ( to freeze my credit with 4 bureaus and XXXX XXXX ) and will continue soaking my time and money to deal with paying for and unfreezing reports as necessary in the future. 

My family 's mobile account was also hacked on XXXX XXXX, 2017 causing all our devices to be locked out from our access. This took 4 days to resolve and we had to cancel all credit cards that were tied to the account. 

This is an undue burden from a company I have never chosen to do business with - they are a vendor of my vendors/creditors. 

Please take prompt and decisive action to ensure I am compensated a minimum of {$250.00} for their negligence and that something like this does not occur again.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled my personal information including my name, social security number, address, birthdate, driver 's license number, credit card numbers, and potentially more. A data breach occurred in XX/XX/XXXX but they did not notify me of the breach, instead directing me to another credit monitoring product at www.equifaxsecurity2017.com containing egregious terms of service language. The complimentary product they offer is only available for a year, which does not cover the period of time necessary to protect my social security number from fraud resulting from the breach. Equifax ultimately did not have the necessary security protocols in place to handle highly sensitive personal information of 143 million Americans, and they 're actions afterward are not in good faith.

Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
Good Evening or Good Morning! Listen, Im not sure who I need to talk to in regards to this issue. I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and I still found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. Due to the fact that Experian failed to verify, correct or remove this bankruptcy per FCRA requirements, they need to remove this immediately.

Complaint:
Firstmark student loan servicer has taken over for XXXX XXXX as the servicer for my private student loans. Under XXXX XXXX I had one monthly payment I paid early, more than the amount due and never had an issue. 

Since Firstmark has taken over in XX/XX/2021 they have misapplied my payment EVERY month requiring MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS to have a payment paid in full and usually 2 weeks early.

I have looked to refinance this loan however the only other available lenders all uses this awful servicer as well
