State: NY
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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Contacted Experian on XX/XX/15 about incorrect names and inquiries on account.. These items I did not authorize use to inquire or request any type of service. I disputed these items over the phone with a customer service representative. Was asked full name, customer representative spelled my name incorrectly, did not ask the correct spelling and placed incorrect information on credit report.. In addition, it took them less than 24 hrs to state the information provided was correct that I was disputing.. I feel racially profiled and did not get the thorough investigation needed to have these items removed from my credit report.. I take responsibility for those items that are correct and feel violated that misinformation can stay on my report after disputing this misinformation..

State: MO
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Other personal consumer report
Issue: Identity theft protection or other monitoring services
Sub-issue: Problem with product or service terms changing

Complaint:
Equifax did not properly secure my protected personal information from intrusion, such as through appropriate patching, 2-factor authentication at the point of service, segmentation of data, etc. As such, it appears my full name, Social Security numbers, birth date, addresses, and possibly driver license number is cross-matched to each other and in the hands of criminals who can use this data to breach any number of accounts in perpetuity such as my banking and financial data, medical data, legal complaints, political data, and any other number of sensitive accounts. 
Further, I am unable to secure these accounts because they ask for the very personal information that is breached in order to verify my identity and approve a change. 
Equifax is currently offering a limited credit monitoring service, which does n't even activate immediately. Even this had to be sought out by those who see the news reports, follow the news links to the Equifax page, which in turn link to a shady third-party website asking for 2/3 of one 's social security number plus last name and a waiver of all class action recourse in order to discover if one is among the breached accounts, only changed to waive class action recourse from the third party site if it too is breached with the sensitive data it is querying once the news of this spread. This is insufficient to the need created by their negligent protection of my information, which I did not give them myself, but which they curated as their business from other businesses.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Other banking product or service
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Can't stop withdrawals from your account

Complaint:
Approximately six months ago I opened a safety deposit box with the BOA XXXX  location in XXXX XXXX California. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ). 
Ever since opening that deposit box, I have had trouble getting access to my box. Either the bank closes because they don't have staff or the bank uses Covid as an excuse to close the branch. 
On Saturday I went to the bank to obtain my passport from my box so I can travel out of the country. 
Again the bank was closed. There were no signs posted up. There was no email sent to client 's of that branch. Nothing was done. They just closed. As a result I was unable to obtain my passport and therefore had to cancel my trip. 
I went to a different location and I asked them to call someone to come and open the bank because I need my passport to catch my flight. However, they did not help me out. 
I asked them to refund me my money since I paid for the box and I don't have access to my box. Assistant manager XXXX refused to refund my money. This is unacceptable. They charge you a fee upfront for the safety deposit box and they do not give access to the box. They said that they didn't have enough staff so they closed down the bank. No one gave any type of notice. They did not even bother putting up a sign at the door. 
At this time I have been charged for a service that I am not receiving. Therefore, I am making this complaint. Lastly, I had to postpone my trip causing me financial hardship as a result of BOA 's closing of the branch.

Complaint:
I have notified Equifax since XX/XX/XXXX2017 that there were two medical debt accounts reporting on my credit report from XXXX, one in the amount of {$18.00} and another in the amount of {$430.00}. I contacted Equifax and advised them that I do not owe the debt and that the original creditor said they will bill my insurance company. Equifax stated that I needed to dispute the account, I disputed the account and Equifax then responded saying the debt is valid and to contact XXXX. I contacted XXXX that advised me that they were not aware that the account did not have a balance and to contact the original creditor. I contacted the original creditor that stated that they will notify XXXX that I do not owe a balance and to remove the account from my credit file. I then contacted XXXX. XXXX then stated that they received notification from the original creditor that there was no debt and to remove the information from my credit file. I contacted XXXX to request documentation to confirm that they have requested the deletion. I received documentation which I then submitted to Equifax as proof that the information on my credit file is inaccurate and to remove it. Equifax has since denied my request stating that the company has not sent them a request to delete the information from my credit file. I contacted Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX ( Provided ID # XXXX ) that stated that she was a supervisor at Equifax and that Equifax can not remove anything from my credit file and that even though I have submitted proof that the information is inaccurate they do not have the ability to remove it.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, it was reported in major news outlets that Equifax had suffered a massive data breach which exposed some 143 million records to unknown assailants. These records included very sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, credit cards numbers, addresses, and more. In short, the type of information which is essential for performing identity theft. Shortly thereafter, Equifax set up a website called equifaxsecurity2017.com which purportedly let you check if Equifax believed your data had been accessed, and sign up for a identity monitoring service. What they failed to mention in easily noticeable writing was that signing up for that service waived all your rights to a class-action lawsuit. Furthermore, it came to light that Equifax sat on this breach for some time before notifying the public. In the interim, several executives sold approximately {$1.00} million dollars worth of shares. Leaving aside the allegations of insider trading, the fact that Equifax did not  IMMEDIATELY notify all potentially affected consumers is atrocious. They did not, as far as I 'm aware, institute any sort of fraud alert for affected consumers, leaving a wide open window of opportunity for anyone wishing to abuse the stolen data, and leaving millions vulnerable to identity theft. Regardless of whether they should have been spending more on their security infrastructure, their actions in response to this breach have been slow and lacking, to say the least, and potentially criminal.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
Wells Fargo allowed multiple charges to my account from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX Texas. Wells Fargo is well aware of the problem because they called me on about XX/XX/10 to ask if these charges were mine, I told them no and they refunded about {$560.00}. When I first looked at the account they were on my account page. I cant say exactly what charges they refunded for because they erased them from my account summary. I have never in 30 ; years have had anything erased from my summary. I believe there were more than one. One was for about {$560.00} and the other ones I believe there were two were smaller amounts. I was unable to check my account at the time of the call but when I did I found there were an additional six charges from the same company ; they were for {$37.00}, {$27.00}, {$160.00}, {$37.00}, {$37.00}, {$33.00}. totaling {$340.00}. I called them to let them know these were not my charges. Instead of refunding my money they cancelled my ATM card and have rejected my purchases. I have over {$3000.00} balance in my account. This is the second time in a few months they retaliated by canceling my ATM card when I disputed a charge. I had called several months ago to ask them to put a stop to an XXXX audio club that I was being repeatedly being charged for even after I cancelled it. I have withdrawn the major part of my money from my account but I just want a complaint filed on Wells Fargo for their unethical practices. I would also like my {$340.00} cents refunded to me so I can close out my acc. and find a more ethical bank that I can trust.
