Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I found out in the news ( X/X/2017 ), 2 months after the alleged security breach took place with Equifax, that 143 million Americans ' information might have been compromised. This included SSN, DOB, credit card info, and other personal identifying information. I checked the Equifax site and was told it was likely my information was exposed. 

I was not notified by the company, but instead had to go look for the information myself. 

The breach is inexcusable and places my identity and credit at risk. 

I have since tried to freeze my credit with Equifax, but found out that anyone with certain information ( ie SSN ) could unfreeze my credit with Equifax. This is beyond the pale of incompetence.

Complaint:
Equifax just announced that in XXXX their data was hacked and the information of millions of Americans including myself had their information stolen. Their executives sold stock shortly after finding out, and only yesterday was it even announced that this happened. I was affected by this, but to find out if I was affected, Equifax tried to get me to waive the right to a lawsuit. I never chose to have my information known by Equifax, along with millions of others, and yet their data was never properly encrypted, they did n't release this information until months later, after they profited off of the company, and now I 'm expected to trust them to protect my information going forward. Once the information was released, a fraudulent charge showed up on my credit card that I had to flag with my credit card company, and I had to proceed to freeze my credit due to their irreversible negligence.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Earlier this year Equifax had a data breach that leaked my personal details and information. They had subpar security, and were negligent about making sure that my data was safe. After learning about the data breach, Equifax was negligent about handling the aftermath, and kept it secret for too long. Now that my personal details have been leaked, there is no way to get them back to being secret again. This threatens my ability to buy a house, buy a car, rent an apartment, or take out loans in case of an emergency ( like XXXX XXXX or XXXX ). In order to mitigate this for myself, I have to spend extra time and effort to monitor my credit, and will have to make sure to stay vigilant for the rest of my life. Their response to the breach was to offer 1 year of credit monitoring ( so, basically a free trial version ) to those affected, which signing up for their credit monitoring service would bind me to arbitration and prevent my participation in a class action lawsuit.
