Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
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:
I have been battling with this bureau for the last year to get some inaccurate items corrected on my credit report. I have 5 XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts showing on my credit report that shouldn ' t even be there but nonetheless I 've initiated over 4  separate disputes and most recently I simply gave up because this credit bureau wrecks my score when they updated 1 or more of these accounts and reflected it as a Paid " XXXX XXXX  '' account with the main derogatories reporting as recent asXX/XX/XXXX even though supposedly it 's been paid since XXXX 2015. This has caused a significant drop in my credit score and is preventing me from moving forward on a home loan for my family. I 've attached the document with markers to describe timeline. I feel as if this credit reporting agency allowed for this to happen so they could collect money for creditor reporting and ignored my wishes to remove account. Feels like retaliation and I only wanted the credit bureau to remove the account based on several inaccurate reporting factors and because I never got a full explanation of procedures used to verify the reports. This has caused significant undue stress on my marriage and family because the lender says because of the update from this agency the score dropped and we might lose our house. Please if consumer financial protection can help I would be very grateful. I 'm hoping that the facts can be seen and my rights under the FCRA will be honored. <P/>Thank you, XXXX

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Complaint:
Chase mislead my expectations when I applied for their  Chase Slate card to p erform a balance transfer. During the application process they asked for the amount that I would like to transfer, and upon completing the application, I learned they gave me a lower limit than the transfer amount I requested. Obviously, credit card limits are based on a clients ' credit worthiness. So, why would you ask me for the amount I would like to transfer, if that does n't have any bearing on the limit I will get on the card? Now, I 'm expected to ask for a credit line increase which will count as a second hard inquiry, and again, it was n't increased to the amount I asked to transfer. In essence, do n't ask your potential clients how much they plan to transfer to yo ur Chase Slate card  because the card limit is not based on the transfer request, but on their credit history, like any other credit card! I expected to receive a balance transfer of {$6400.00} and was subsequently approved fo r a Chase Slate card with  a limit of {$2000.00}. I spoke to their representative, and they said I would have to ask for a credit limit increase and I was approved for a poultry {$400.00} ( new limit {$2400.00} ). In what way does this " balance transfer card '' ( misrepresentation of this product ) help me eliminate the entire debt balance I was hoping to transfer? Simply speaking, if you had n't asked for the transfer amount I would have like, this situation would be less frustrating because I now ha ve 2 inquiries a nd a reduce d credit score for a pro duct that mislead my expectations. Alas, thank you, for misleading me into completing the application for this credit card disguised as a balance transfer card.

Complaint:
Today  XXXX   XXXX  I spoke with a   XXXX    Manager by the name of  XXXX   XXXX  about removing a couple of unauthorized inquiries on my credit file. Before I even spoke to him  XXXX  had a automatic message stating there was a glitch regarding inquiries and if we were affected by the glitch to have the inquiries name and date. Furthermore  XXXX   XXXX  was the manager that answered my call and he said to have inquiries removed I would have to contact the creditor and have them write a letter on my behalf to get the inquiries removed. I stated to him that the inquiries I wanted removed had already been removed and they were readded because of their glitch which is not my fault. He further stated there was no glitch but   XXXX    has a automatic message stated so. I then went on to ask him how do they investigate inquiries since I have recently disputing these inquiries once again and that same day they came back factual. He stated that they do n't investigate, that once something hit my credit report it 's factual and will remain. I told him that 's not an investigation and that by law if a credit reporting agency such as themselves want to add and remove things that they have to do so in writing within 5 days and they have yet to do so.

Company: SCOTTRADE BANK
State: CA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
Dear XXXX, I am writing to express my concerns about a behavior of Scottrade Bank and their affiliates which may have adversely exposed my personal information and lead to identity theft and fraud. 

Specifically, in going through my records in order to better understand how I could resolve ongoing identity theft, I discovered that when applying for a bank account at Scottrade Bank, Scottrade Bank improperly handled a number of documents which had very personal information on them. The actions of Scottrade Bank not only broke from the current standards of data security but also broke Scottrade Bank 's internal policies regarding handling customer information. 

Specifically, on or around XXXX XXXX, 2013 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, a regional manager from Scottrade Bank offered to receive Scottrade Bank account application documents via email. Email is a notoriously insecure medium of communication yet XXXX XXXX allowed and offered to receive the documents via email, despite the fact that it was against Scottrade Bank 's internal policies and does not have any of the normal safeguards in place to handle personal customer information. The XXXX XXXX, 2013 email contained PDF attachments that included my full name, signature, address, bank account numbers, Social Security Number, and other very personal and sensitive information. 

As is clear by Scottrade 's online disclosures and policies, Scottrade Bank states that it will never transmit customer information over email and or ask for or receive personal information via email, however, XXXX XXXX, a manager at Scottrade encouraged me to send the information by email to expedite the process, with no disclose of the security concerns. 

I am writing today to ask Scottrade to explain why they let my personal information be transmitted in a way that puts me at significant risk to identity theft. I would also like to know what the current status of the email and personal information is, has it been deleted, has it been accessed, are emails records secure, who could have gained access, was the email accessed XXXX, was it confirmed a secure connection? 

The actions of XXXX XXXX, put me at my personal information at risk and could have likely been the direct cause for hackings that happened weeks latter and accounted for over XXXX of fraud.

Company: NELSON AND KENNARD
State: WA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint:
When my debt was transferred to Nelson & Kennard, I believe I paid XXXX payments during the transfer period. I requested in writing and verbally ( to my point of contact 's administrative assistant ) to be issued a statement. I did not know how much I owed and which payments had been accounted for. After five months of payments, still no communications of any kind ( letters, phone calls or e-mail ). A bit odd, I thought. I sent a letter and stated that I would no longer pay this debt if I did not see some sort of recognition of my payments. Nothing. I made payments ( {$700.00} / month ) for an additional year. Still nothing. After numerous calls and letters I could not reach any one that would speak to me, left lots of messages, but no responses. So, after eighteen months I did stop paying. 

Fifteen months later, still no communication of any sort EXCEPT a summons to court ( received three days ago ). In the summons they state that they repeatedly tried to contact me by phone and mail. This is a lie. No statements, no communications of any sort. 
What do I wish to do? I am happy to resume paying this debt but I want the communications to be monitored in some way so that Nelson & Kennard will have to give the statements due me under the law. Indeed, after eighteen months of payments without any communications, something was indeed broken.
