Equifax reported a hack of some 143 million users ' private personal information today, XXXX XXXX, 2017.

Complaint:
Like millions of others, Equifax 's sub-standard security measures and baffling technical incompetence ( eg, not subdomaining their " check status '' website, different certs, plain-text unencrypted data ... ) caused my information to potentially be leaked to unknown parties. 

The solution they offered was to monitor my credit -- - though, given their track record, it 's not surprising that this should be unsettling.

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

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled my personal information including Name, Social Security #, Address, Birthdate, etc. resulting in a data breach in XXXX/XXXX 2017 that they confirmed I was affected by per their " Potential Impact '' site www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. 
They have put myself and millions of others at risk of identity theft/fraud due to negligent security protocols in handling consumer information. They are further attempting to capitalize on the situation by signing injured parties THEY are responsible for up for " trial periods '' of their ID protection services. 
They are simultaneously defrauding these injured parties with hidden terms of service that waive their right to sue the company in what is clearly a situation of criminal negligence/fraudulent behavior as indicated by the three Equifax executives that dumped stock immediately prior to the data breach announcement.
I demand that they rectify this by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. The negligent loss of personal information of nearly 200 million consumers is an unconscionable breech of ethical behavior by this company and it is further  unreasonable that they are not directly notifying every single person affected by this regardless of their questionable " judgment '' of who to contact.

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

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled the private information of hundreds of thousands citizens and myself. Using their website XXXX, I found that I am someone who 's information was stolen. Furthermore, Equifax seems to be trying to trick people into being unable to pursue any legal action against them. They give us a link to check to see if we are affected, and so by using this link, we waive our right to purse any action. Not only that, but the fact that we have to pay to freeze our credit through Equifax is absurd. The pin you get from Equifax when you freeze you credit can be reset using personal information, which, if you stole someone 's identity, would be easy to reset. Finally, the pin is not randomly generated, it is just time stamped, meaning that it would be very easy to steal someone 's pin if you can assume most people froze their accounts yesterday or today. Thankfully, I put a fraud alert on my account and downloaded my free annual credit report, and saw that nothing has happened yet, however, for many people, their lives could have been ruined today.

Complaint:
After reviewing my statement from XXXX XXXX via Synchrony Bank I noticed there were card security fees, a phone number was listed and the call hours are between XXXX EST I've called numerous times. There is a pre-recorded message saying to please try again later, which I've been doing. No other department at Synchrony can help because it's a specific card security department.

Synchrony will only show it's customers 11 months worth of statements, and every single one had these fee 's that I never signed up for or authorized. The fee 's have added up to over {$80.00}, and that's just on the statements I was able to view. 

Beware of this card, they will charge you for a program you never signed up for a hide behind the fees. 

I've never had a late payment, and I am appalled by what little resources they have to fix this.
