Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

XXXX was not a repeat complaint. This company continues to say they are doing things and they are not. They say they dispute the issue with the credit bureaus and they do not. Instead they reapply the open credit to my credit report. Please take this seriously as I am being treated terribly by this company and now the CFPB. Please read the whole complaint that the company is not following it's own resolution, but continuing with just applying it to my credit. I was never aware of the debt and they never disputed and now they are reapplying it to my credit with a new date.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

It came to my attention on XXXX XXXX, 2017 that Equifax experienced a databreach. In order to check if my SSN was compromised, the site they are endorsing is requiring that i waive my right to file a lawsuit against them before I know whether I am affected. The website they are using is obviously a third party domain name which itself is extremely sketchy and uses third party security certificates which is terrifying from a cyber security standpoint. I dont even know if my last 6 digits of my SSN are actually being sent to equifax or a third party company hired to handle this breach. it 's not difficult to guess the first 3 digits, thats only 100 different combinations of single digit integers 0-9. The leak happened a month ago, but they didnt make a public statement until now. There is so many things that seem off and I dont know what to do right now. The solution they have is to offer a typically paid service to protect my identity for free for a year, but this data breach will effect my SSN for the rest of my life! How is this even fair???
Complaint sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Key Bank National Association USA. Claims that you can opt out of overdraft protection from the checking account they offer. Here is the problem. If it is an under key bank terms an " authorized payment '' it will still allow your account to be overdrawn. and you will still be charged an erroneous {$38.00} overdraft fee which was {$33.00} i guess that must be adjusted for inflation. You can not offer or claim to offer a service of rejecting overdraft and still allow " some '' transactions to pass through and then charge the unwitting consumer. this is the closest thing to smoke and mirrors financial fraud i have ever witnessed.

The creditor XXXX XXXX clearly stated that the potentially negative reporting account on my credit report was to be removed. This account is continued to be reported to my credit report.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

I am XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself and there is no third party involved. The 3 Credit Bureaus are reporting inaccurate information on FSTPROGRESS ; this is in violation of the FDICs Uniform Credit Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with product or service terms changing

Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how equifax has handled reporting this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media.
Complaint sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself and there is no third party involved. Upon reviewing my updates, incorrect personal information was found still in my reports.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute the following information in my file. I recently received a copy of my credit report, and I notice there is an unauthorized credit inquiry made by the company listed above. To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. The listed inquiry was without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action, and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act {$600.00} as well as a violation of my rights to privacy. I am requesting your credit bureau to initiate an investigation and to determine responsible parties in this unauthorized credit inquiry. As part of your investigation, please send the names, business addresses, and phone numbers of those who made unauthorized credit inquiries so I may contact them directly. In addition, I respectfully request a copy of any documents authorizing credit inquiry, and signed on my behalf, so that I may verify its validity.

If you find that I was not the one who authorized this inquiry, I ask that it be removed immediately from my credit file. Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed. If you find that I am in error, then please send me proof of this.

Finally, I am requesting an updated copy of my credit report, which should be sent to the address listed above.

According to the provisions of 612 ( 15 USC 1681j ), there should be no charge for this report.
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I am utterly confused for what is happening. I've submitted this complaint 3 times & CFPB & EQUIFAX are claiming its being submitted by someone other than me or that there is no file on record. Seems like a lot of passing the buck or no accountability. Whatever the reason, This is so disgusting! The account listed below was opened due to identity theft. I've provided you ( CFPB ) & EQUIFAX with an FTC fraudulent report to support my position. It seems EQUIFAX is violating FCRA sections 611, 616 & 617. They have provided ZERO VERIFIABLE PROOF & I feel are willful noncomplying and being truly negligent. I'd like this account blocked or removed based on 605b. This is my final request before I get my attorney involved because this matter has been creating an insane amount of XXXX  & XXXX XXXX. It's caused me restless nights & has caused me to miss work. My attorney told I should just sue for violations in FCRA laws. I'd prefer to NOT get litigious. Please see this matter is handled. I'd like the account removed/blocked per 605b with the attached documents again... Thanks XXXX XXXX XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have a loan with HELM ASSOCS. This was an illegal repossession followed by illegally reporting on my credit report ; this should have been investigated and corrected immediately. I tried contacting XXXX Credit Bureau requesting a complete payment history with this account for me to review the exact date on which the repossession was posted. Unfortunately, there was no successful resolution provided nor feedback heard from the concerned Bureau. There was definitely an error on their part. The bureaus are condoning illegal behavior and willfully in violation of FCRA. PLEASE REMOVE IT FROM MY REPORT IMMEDIATELY.
Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

I am complaining because I have noticed a negative action on my credit report regarding a late payment to it. I called customer service, not once, not twice, not three, but FOUR times regarding it. Each time I get passed to another customer service person to start over. This is unacceptable to me.Due to this horrible customer service I have recently closed all my back accounts with Citibank, and I want to pay off my loan that I have with Citibank, so I never have to deal with them again. My loan was reported past due to the credit agencies, which is Citibanks fault because it has been automatically deducted from my bank account for the last 2 years. I never paid with check in any way and I do not even know my loan number, so the lateness is probably from one of their unqualified employees that currently work there. I have called to resolve the issue numerous of times and they have not helped me out in any way, instead they put me on hold, and pass it to another person. To resolve this issue, I would like all fees associated with the lateness reversed and I would like it removed from my credit report immediately. Once that request is completed, in full, I want to pay the loan balance off and close it out. I would also like a written statement explaining your companys position and what you will do about my complaint. Citibank is terrible, please do not use them for anything.
