The Credit Bureaus did not do this : They also violated my rights even more. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting, because everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report.

The Credit Bureaus stated that my account was properly investigated, but how is that possible if the date opened, high credit balance amount, credit limit, last date reported, comments, date last active, date of last payment and payment history are all inaccurate. This is grounds for removal They also violated the law because according to : 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A.

Complaint sub-issue: Unable to open an account

I attempted to open a Savings Account with Discover Bank and was denied due to issues with their identity verification process. For reasons their representative can not explain other than " It's policy '', they are unable to validate me against an existing Discover credit card account that is in good standing. They will not open the account unless I send notarized documentation to them. I offered to send them photo ID ( US Passport ), offered them additional phone numbers to validate against, they refuse and insist on the notarization process. I do not feel I should have to pay money to a notary to open a savings account, particularly with an institution that I already have an established and very positive relationship with. The need to validate my identity is understandable, given the threat of identity theft, but they should have a process in place to accomplish this that does not cost their customer an undue amount of time or money. This is particularly frustrating given that I already have an established relationship with them on the credit card side of the business and can not simply open a new account off that established relationship.

Complaint sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

1. I opened an account in CitiBank, We deposited $ xxxxx into this account. 
2. My husband set up my direct deposit to deposit a little money to this account ( under my name ). 
3. Citibank blocked this account, I asked them to either unblock this account or add my name to this account, but Citibank did NOT do that after many many calls. 
4. I gave up on keeping this account open, so I only want to get the $ xxxxx back. One customer service told me If I close the account, Citibank will issue a check to us in 1-2 months. 
5. After 1.5 months, I called them, a nice account manager found they withdraw my money to another account, and the balance of that account is zero. So she opened a case to investigate it. 
6. one week later, I called them again, they verified the case #, said they need 2 months starting from closing the account to finish all the work, It's not 2 months yet. 
7. one week later, one customer service said he can not find the case # ( another call confirmed ) 5. Now it's much more 2 months after the account is closed, I did not get any check or letter to know the status. 

I tried to call Citibank to figure this out, but they keep asking to talk other person, and the call is forwarded many times, and get zero valuable info. 

It has been 9 months since the account is blocked, so I want to complain here to know whether anyone could help us.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

From mid-XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX due to Equifax 's negligence with protecting my private data, my personal information ( Social Security number, Birth Date, Addresses, Credit Card numbers, and driver 's license number ) was mishandled and leaked to hackers. 

In Equifax 's own words on their website, unauthorized access occurred from mid-XXXX throughXX/XX/XXXX That is almost 2 months of my personal data being leaked to hackers, which have most likely  made it publicly accessible by now. 

In addition to mishandling my personal information, Equifax failed to alert me to this failure in a timely manner. Instead of being notified by Equifax, I found out about this through the media ... .on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I went to Equifax 's website ( https :  //www.equifaxsecurity2017.comXXXX ) and was shown the message that I was affected by the information mishandling. 

All in all, Equifax mishandled my data several months ago and never sent me any kind of mail, phone call or e-mail to notify me, which is quite a horrendous act on the part of the company.
