Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA
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 loss of Personally Identifiable Information ( PII ) through a cyber security breach as reported by the Company in XXXX XXXX, although by their own investigation, information theft occurred over a period of three months ( XXXX XXXX XXXX. Equifax never notified me personally that my information was included in the data that was stolen from their safekeeping. I am a Military XXXX and currently an XXXX XXXX working for an XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX and my unit provided us the method to confirm on an individual basis the loss of our PII by Equifax. I want it documented that I checked my status using Equifax provided web site and received a positive result, which indicates loss of personal information through by their negligence, and the fact that they delayed announcing the data loss after their investigation ended in XXXX until first week of XXXX, which provided up to 90 days for someone to use my personal information to conduct identify theft related activity should be a crime. Equifax initially established a web site where affected consumers could log in and enroll in credit monitoring but had to indemnify Equifax from future arbitration or civil actions. Their current web page now specifically excludes THIS breach that put 143 million Americans information into the hands of people that have no business having it. There must have been significant pushback by angry individuals for them to specifically address this single topic on their web page. This Equifax breach is now the third time I have been part of a larger group of people that have had their personal information exposed without consent.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Hi and how are you doing? Im not sure who to take this to anymore, but Ive disputed this account several times with both the original creditor and the credit reporting agencies accordingly and Ive attached everything to support my dispute. However, I continue to received a pre-template letter sent to me that its been verified and it REMAINS. How is it possible that this was verified if you continue to report incomplete, inconsistent, inaccurate, and unverifiable information on this account and a thorough and in-dept investigation. Ive disputed and I havent received anything as such, but it continues to be reported in violation of the consumer laws. 
Continues to report wrong balance, incorrect date of first delinquency, wrong date of last active, inconsistent payment status, high balance and actual balance is questionable, etc. I believe that section 609 of FCRA also allows me to ask for detail information about the account and how you indeed investigated and your detail process. Im extremely upset and shocked about the way this charge-off account is reporting on my credit report which continues to report with incomplete, inconsistent and unverifiable Info. How can you honestly say that you verified as it being accurate? This was NOT verified! I am requesting this investigation under the authorization of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ability of consumer to dispute information directly with the furnisher. 

What I am disputing : The account you have reported to the three credit bureaus. My basis for this dispute is that I have no knowledge of this account.

Hi .... 

I took a loan out with XXXX in XXXX for {$33000.00} for student graduate loans. I paid every month without miss for over 10 years. I have copies and proof of every payment made totalling just over {$29000.00}. However, ACS bought the loan in XXXX and somehow my balance went back to {$30000.00} owed on the loan? When questioning ACS, they sold the loan to XXXX. While working with XXXX, my loan was sold again to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Long story short, im being told the balance is now {$41000.00} and are threatening wage garnishment. Can someone please help? Im 100 % willing to payoff the true remaining balance, but i refuse to pay another {$40000.00} on a loan that ive already paid {$29000.00} on? It does not make sense to me and non of these loan companies are willing to help me or work with me?
