Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Didn't receive services that were advertised

Complaint:
What has now become public knowledge is that there was a MAJOR security breach with Equifax. I am beyond disturbed that the company waited over a month to make this information public. In using the tool provided by Equifax, I was told that my personal information was part of the breach. I was then given a date to sign up for their " free credit monitoring '' for a year. The date given was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Today is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The XXXX is the only date I would be able to sign up for the service, and I would not be reminded. Someone else in my same office ( after I checked my information on Equifax 's site ) also found out their information was breached, but received a date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to enroll. Upon reading the terms of use for the credit monitoring service ( which was NOT AT ALL easy to find on their website ), I realized that if I did in fact enroll in the free service for a year, I was waiving my right to be a part of a class-action lawsuit, a class action arbitration, or group representation. If by clicking on a date to enroll or by checking my information I waived this right, I will be extremely outraged. It is n't clear how I am agreeing. Does this happen when the date is assigned or when you action sign-up? There was no box to check when I was assigned a date that I accepted the terms of use. My information has already been compromised for over a month, and now I need to wait even longer for protection?! That is just absurd. It is almost impossible as a consumer not to need to have access to credit or get your credit report pulled. For my licensing, I am required to have my credit report pulled. How could Equifax not spend the adequate funds to begin with to protect such confidential information, and why are they being so sneaky about the potential loss of rights included with the of the credit monitoring service? I am assuming that if anything happened to my personal information prior to signing up for credit monitoring/ identity theft protection, I will not be covered. I feel like I have no choice but to deny the coverage, pay for coverage on my own, and seek representation for any potential damages or future damages. I would greatly appreciate your help in forcing Equifax to make their " terms of conditions '' more well known.

Complaint:
Equifax database was breached this week ( week of XXXX XXXX, 2017 with the media reporting of the breach onXX/XX/XXXX ). I am concerned about my credit as this breach indicates a higher probability of identity theft. I used the Equifax website https : //www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/potential-impact/ and inputted all the necessary information to be informed that " Based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information may have been impacted by this incident. '' I have declined to enroll in the " TrustedID Premier '' program being offered through Exquifax as I do not trust their program after this breach and, from my understanding, I will be relinquishing some legal rights by enrolling. I have not noticed any unusual activity on my credit reports, have enabled fraud alert through the 3 credit bureaus, and am now contacting CFPB to investigate this matter as I and 143 million other Americans are now in financial risk due to no fault of our own.

Complaint:
I've never had a missed payment with CapitalOne credit card. I do my very best to stay on top of my payments and it says on my credit report that I have 1 missed payment 30 days late listed for on XX/XX/2017. This account was on automatic payments so there is no way there would be late. I called CapitalOne and they looked into it. They said they could change it but they can't remove it because " their system wont let them ''. I've been working very hard on my credit and have been a faithful customer of CapitalOne for years. I don't understand how they cant remove that when it was their doing. I really like doing business with CapitalOne but I also really like to have a good credit score and this is impacting my score and I would like it removed.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Since XX/XX/2021, I've attempted to do a short sale with my mortgage lender and they are still in the process of trying to foreclose on my home. I have been offered a short sale option on multiple occasions by PennyMac prior to actually applying and now that I've submitted all of the required paperwork, they refuse to review it. They've wasted tons of paper mailing me applications to apply for the short sale and are now telling me that the foreclosure auction date is too close for them to review my file when there wasn't even an auction date scheduled at the time that I initially applied in XXXX. They didn't decide to schedule a foreclosure date until after I submitted an application, which is a complete slap in the face to me as a struggling homeowner. Not only have I submitted a completed short sale application, but also an offer from a willing and able buyer and PennyMac won't even so much as tell me what are the minimum net proceeds that they'd be willing to accept as an offer. I'm so confused as to why they would offer me something just to refuse to allow me to apply for it. I fell behind after I lost my job over two years ago and I could not afford to catch up. Please help me get through to my mortgage lender because I should not have to go through this when I've done everything that's been asked of me to apply for the short sale.
