Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Inadequate help over the phone

Complaint:
I signed a contract for alarm service through XXXX, via their contracting company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, in the contract, it simply stated a credit bureau would be ran. For clarification I asked the representative XXXX XXXX if it was a soft or hard inquiry & he assured me it was soft. The company then messed up on all kinds of things including the running of my credit. They ran my credit on XXXX/XXXX/16 & XXXX/XXXX/16 ( 2 days after the first time ). I contacted my rep XXXX XXXX again & told him they ran it twice and it was a hard inquiry not a soft as her assured me. He apologized and said he woudl try to get it straightened out. This was all via text on XXXX/XXXX/2016. Nothing was done. I spoke to XXXX at XXXX approximately 3 weeks ago, and was told she requested a deletion of the inquiry from XXXX but they will only remove XXXX inquiry not XXXX I pulled my credit again today & XXXX inquiries are on there. 
I believe that it is only fair that XXXX inquiries should be removed, as I was given false information by XXXX 's authorized provider XXXX. I never would have agreed to the contract if I was told it would be a hard inquiry. The company should be accountable for the information their employees provided me and the inquiries should be removed from my credit. The XXXX inquiries dropped my score XXXX points on Equifax. The damage to my score is not my fault and they should be removed as I was deceived by the company 's representative. I have all the texts should the company like to see them.

Company: PHH Mortgage Services Corporation
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
We have previous complaints regarding this mortgage with PHH. I saw a response from PHH that listed a XXXX as a contact person. We had never been referred to XXXX through this process. Icalled XXXX on XX/XX/2016 and explained our situation. He toild me he was the supervisor in charge of all of PHH 's loan modifications. He said he would look into our issues and get back to me in a few days. I had not heard from XXXX so I called him on @ XXXX PST XX/XX/2016 and he told me that he was working on our loan modification and would have it finalized in a couple of days. He said he would reinstate our loan modifications and that we would have to bring the payments current from XX/XX/2016 to present. I said that would be fine. XXXX is when PHH stopped accepting our payments. XXXX would have been the first regular payment after the trial period. They had accepted two trial payments and the first was accepted by XXXX the previous servicer. XXXX told me that he would get back to us with the paperwork soon to get this resolved. 
Not hearing from him I called on XX/XX/2016 and left him a message asking about our loan. After no response I called XX/XX/2016 @ XXXX PST and left him a message asking about our loan and asked for a call back again. I called XX/XX/2016 again left a message to call me back please. After no response I called again XX/XX/2016 @ XXXX PST and again left a message to please call. With again no response I called this morning XX/XX/2016 and left a message to please call me. We feel we have no choice but to make another complaint. After the encouragement we we received from XXXX from our initial contact with him we are very distressed in the fact that we have not heard from him again for over 3 weeks. 
Phh should have stopped reporting negatively to credit agencies as of XX/XX/2016. They are still reporting negatively to credit agencies and this is negatively affecting our life in many ways other than economic.

Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of my credit report
Sub-issue: Report improperly shared by CRC

Complaint:
Hopefully, I have chosen the right avenue to lodge this complaint. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I walked into XXXX XXXX in XXXX, VA. My purpose was to purchase a XXXX Chrysler 300. When I arrived, I informed my sales agent that I had a check from XXXX XXXX to cover the purchase. Subsequent to agreeing on a price for the vehicle, the salesperson brought a document for me to sign. I looked over the document and notified the salesperson that I would sign, but I did not want the dealership to look for financing on my behalf. The salesperson assured me that would not happen. After about a two hour wait, I finally went into see the finance manager to finalize the transaction. About a week after I purchased the car, I began to receive notices from various lenders notifying me that they were sorry, but they could not extend me credit to purchase the vehicle. After receiving several more rejection notices, I checked my credit report and found out that close to XXXX inquiries had been made by the dealership on my behalf for financing. Upon gaining this information, I called the dealership several times over a 30-45 day period, seeking an explanation for the unauthorized inquiries. I received no return phone call. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I decided to e-mail the General Manager of the dealership. Within a few hours of my email, I get a call from the finance manager that completed my transaction. He explained to me that there must have been some " misunderstanding '' with the salesperson. The finance manager said that because I signed the document that the salesperson gave me, that gave them the right to shop for financing on my behalf. I informed the finance manager that I signed the document with the explicit instructions to the salesperson not to try to find financing, and that the sales person told me the dealership would not be looking for financing for me. Again the finance manager told me that there was nothing I could do. I asked for some kind of compensation for the unauthorized inquiries and again I was told there was nothing that could be done. XXXX lied to me and shopped for credit without my authorization. I would like some form of compensation for this violation of my rights.

Complaint:
I was a victim of identity theft on or about XX/XX/2016. At that time, I got a bill from XXXX for new cell phone service and an iPhone. I have never had service with XXXX and have never owned a personal iPhone. I contacted XXXX and filed a fraud report. I reported the fraud to my local police station as well. XXXX quickly determined the charges against my credit card were fraudulent and relieved me of any responsibility for payment. 
I initiated credit monitoring with Equifax in XX/XX/2016 after the identity theft incident. I noticed XXXX had run a credit check on me pursuant to the fraudulent phone and service purchase. I spoke with an Equifax representative regarding removal of the credit report. He told me that XXXX would need to contact Equifax to confirm that the credit report had been run pursuant to fraudulent activity. I called XXXX and their representative said that this information had already been provided to Equifax. However, when I spoke with Equifax, they said XXXX had never contacted them and that they would not accept a letter I had received from XXXX as proof that the credit check had been run as a result of fraud. I called XXXX back and they said that since they had already provided the information to Equifax, they would not do so again. I disputed the report with Equifax but they refused to remove it.
