Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I am an Equifax Breach victim. 
In XX/XX/XXXX I placed Fraud alerts on my account.

In XX/XX/XXXX I upgraded that to a freeze. 
XXXX received a phone application from someone using my social security number They willfully ignored the fraud alert and processed an application which resulted in an unpaid fraudulent account being placed on my credit after being put into collections. 
I live in Indiana and have never lived in Texas. In addiiton to the fraud alert they ignored, red flag rules should have flagged the application and they should have denied the request. 
Their willful actions have adversely affected my credit by 35 points and already wasted hours of my time. 
I was told at first when I called them that I needed to call the police. 
I declined and asked for a supervisor. 
She said they don't have any way to process fraud alerts. When I explained by law they are required she said she'd forward my issue to legal. 
I asked for the phone number or email and she refused to provide it. 
I asked for a copy of the application and she wasn't sure how to provide it. 
THis company is seriously incompetent in understanding credit law and consumer rights yet they have access to credit reporting agencies.

Complaint:
In wake of the Equifax hack I froze my accounts with all three credit bureaus. The pin that Equifax provides is not even close to being secure. It contains the Day, Month, Year and time that the account was frozen which is easily guessable and not considered a Personal Identification Number. This company is not even trying to protect consumer data. Something needs to be done about it.
