Company: TransferWise Ltd
State: MT
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: International money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I opened an account with Transferwise ( www.transferwise.com ) In XX/XX/XXXX and made one funds transfer from the U.S. to XXXX that worked correctly. I did nothing further until XX/XX/XXXX when I received an email from Transferwise stating " You can only have one account with TransferWise. So we deactivated the other account you had with this email address. '' Alarmed that someone had accessed my account that is linked to my bank account, I tried emailing the company per their instructions, demanding to know why they would allow a second account to be opened using my email address. But they never responded, and my account remains " deactivated. '' Consequently, I have no idea whether someone has access to funds in my linked bank account.

After reading hundreds of similar complaints on consumeraffairs.com, I do not want to have anything further to do with Transferwise anyway. But I do need to know that my account has been properly closed, that no one is using my email address to access a duplicate fraudulent account, and that there is no linkage to my bank account.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
This complaint is in regards to the 2017 Equifax data breach. Equifax mishandled my personally identifiable information, putting me at risk for identity theft because of poor and/or non-existent security protocols. Because of this, I 've had to put fraud alerts on my accounts and am adding security freezes to my credit reports with every reporting agency. At a minimum, this data breach is costing me {$60.00} because Equifax did n't manage their data securely. If my identity is stolen the damages will exponentially increase. Equifax should be held liable for security freezing fees put in place due to this breach. Additionally, Equifax 's identity theft monitoring service is un-useable due to the binding arbitration clause, which waives my right to take legal action against them.

Complaint:
I have been informed that I was potentially impacted by the Equifax 2017 security incident where my information may have been stolen via website vulnerabilities.
I am furious that a company that I can not limit information sharing from has handed over my most sensitive and personal information to hackers and has not protected it adequately. I 'm further outraged that this appears to impact a significant portion of the American public, not just an isolated incident! 

I demand that Equifax provide lifetime credit monitoring services without asking that I surrender my legal rights through arbitration clauses.

Complaint:
I never directly did business with Equifax and yet they have all of my personal information. 

They then did not take reasonable steps to protect that information from cyberattacks. 
When they learned of the problem, they hid it from investors while they let executives dump their stock. 

There is no way to undo this damage. Once your information is stolen, you can never recover it. It will mean that I will need to pay for credit monitor and identity theft protection for the rest of my life. 

I will also be the target of other scams and potential blackmail because of a company that I had no direct business relationship with whatsoever.
