Complaint:
It is unbelievable that XXXX waited so many days to acknowledge and make consumers aware that their security had been breached and the information of millions of people, info they have no control over nor say in most cases without paying them, was stolen. Lest anyone be confused, it took them a considerable amoutn of time to even realize their security had been breached. XXXX XXXX lack of a meaningful initial response, unpreparedness for dealing with the problem and having meaningful solutions with a week to prepare before letting people know, and a horrible website that was confusing, lacking credible and usable information, and had an ID theft checker that sent everyone to another confusing page that said you had to wait to sign up, whether or not you used a real name or random six numbers. 

This is completely unfathomable, and as a corporation and " individual '', as recognized by the courts, publicly and socially irresponsible, and put us in danger of damages, both financially and physically, that could result from the release of the stolen information, the delayed public response, and incomplete measures and solutions XXXX offered consumers to deal with the breach. 

Now I, and my fellow Americans, have another headache -- or possibly numerous if the information is used to file a false tax return, charge items on credit cards or drain bank accounts -- to deal with.

Complaint:
Equifax was completely negligent with the data it holds on me including my SSN, full name, and address. This data was retrieved easily by hackers. Several C level executives of Equifax sold their shares long before this breach was made public. This goes to show that the breach was known about, but hidden so they could maintain millions in profits. This is unacceptable.

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

Complaint:
I am deeply concerned by the recent Equifax data breach. Equifax 's negligence has allowed the personally identifiable information of 140,000,000+ Americans to be stolen. This includes names, date of birth, social security number, past addresses, and loan information. This breach poses a serious threat to all of those affected. The practice of using social security number for loan verification purposes is deeply flawed system and requires swift and immediate overhaul. 

Currently, the only way to protect oneself by placing a credit freeze with each of the three credit reporting firms. This is an arduous process, in which the credit reporting firms attempt to sell identify theft protection at every turn. To make matters worse, if a consumer does freeze their credit they are required to pay the firm in the future to lift the freeze. 

To summarize : 1 : Americans have no choice but to allow these credit rating firms to collect their private information. 
2 : The credit rating firms allow citizens ' private information to be stolen. 
3 : The victims have little protection, if any, and now have a lifetime of worry ahead of them. 
4 : The victims of this crime have to pay the very same firms who leaked their information to protect them. 

Please take action to rectify this grave injustice and protect the American public. Credit rating verification should not be in the hands of these reckless firms. It should reside with government.

Complaint:
Credit reporting agencies collect, retain, and distribute my personal and financial information, most of which is done without my explicit consent. Now one of these agencies has compromised the data of nearly every American adult. I should not have to pay a fee to freeze my credit, or an additional fee to thaw that freeze later. I would like governmental intervention to make freezing and thawing free.

Complaint:
I made a double payment in which one of the payments was applied towards the principal balance as it should have. However, the second payment also was applied to the next monthly payment. The second payment should have reduced the principal balance that interest is being charged against which would reduce the monthly payments. The company is not recalculating the interest that should be charged by applying the overpayments towards future monthly payments.
