XXXX XXXX or XXXX, XXXX Equifax reported a security breach. I 've had to initiate fraud protection on my credit and will now have to monitor it for my own protection. So far, nothing has happened to me. 

This type of poor security has allowed a host of problems for myself and others. A company with this kind of structure should be wholly responsible.

Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Dear CFPB, I contacted PNC Bank last week in regards to a check that I wrote to myself from my XXXX Account. I deposited the check on Monday XX/XX/2018. The disclosure on PNC mobile bank state that funds would be deposited within 2 business day. I waited the 2 business days and no funds were deposited to my PNC checking account. I contacted PNC on Friday XX/XX/XXXX and the representative told me I had a hold on the check and would be deposited to my account on XX/XX/2018. I checked my account today XX/XX/2018 and no funds were deposited. I contacted PNC again in regards to my missing funds and now are telling me because it is a new credit card now the funds are being held until XX/XX/XXXX. I advised the PNC representative that I have written numerous checks payable from myself from my XXXX account and do not understand why the bank is withholding funds that I need to pay a bill with. No one has helped me at all and I feel the bank is taking advantage of me. Without the funds, I can not pay a bill and is negatively impacting me. It is extremely unfair that PNC is withholding funds and keep being changing their reasoning why they won't give me my money, and if anything keep changing the story on their end. It appears to me that they simply want to take advantage of me and the situation. I am writing for assistance from the CFPB to help in this matter.

It appears that my credit/my file/my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. I found that under section 605b ( a ) Equifax shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt and it requires the following documents and statement to remove the disputed accounts on my file : ( 1 ) Appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) A copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) The identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) A statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) That alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) That is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) The filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2012 Balance : {$0.00} If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly

Equifax has a bankruptcy listed on my credit report that was deleted and then added back on. I called the courthouse. They stated that they don't have anything in the system and that they don't report to credit bureaus. They said that a third party does and that I needed to dispute or file a police report which I have. This needs to be removed again permanently. I have retained an attorney. I have also disputed this multiple times. My attorney states that we can sue the credit bureau and win due to all of my documentation and Equifaxs refusal to remove it. 

Also, all of the bureaus have multiple inquiries on my report that I did not authorize. They are as follows : XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ), XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX should not be reporting 3 times, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

This complaint concerns a private student loan held by XXXX and serviced by Great Lakes. I began paying on this student loan in XXXX XXXX. From XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX I made every payment and additional payments worth about {$5500.00}. I made additional payments because of my plans to get a XXXX ; by making payments ahead I hoped to avoid making payments while enrolled as a XXXX student. Before describing the substance of this complaint I note that I had another student loan which I paid entirely during the XXXX period. I was scheduled to begin graduate school in XXXX XXXX. 
In late XXXX I called Great Lakes to ask about deferment. In particular I wanted to know if my best option was to go onto deferment or wait until the time in which I was paid ahead ( at this point, about XXXX years ) was over and then go on deferment. I explained that I was enrolling in graduate school and wanted to avoid payments if at all possible. 
The customer service rep explained that I should go on deferment and any period in which I was paid ahead would simply be begin at the end of my deferment period. In other words, after deferment I would still have roughly XXXX years in which no payments were required. 
In XXXX of XXXX Great Lakes informed me that I was out of deferment and I would have to resume making payments ; they explained to me that the payment clock resets after deferment and any time in which I was paid ahead is nullified because of the deferment. The customer service rep I spoke to in XXXX had apparently provided me with bad information ; I had been told my " paid ahead '' period would begin after my deferment ended but now, according to representatives at Great Lakes, this is not the case. 
I am in the curious position of being paid several years ahead on a loan yet simultaneously having monthly payments. Because I am still a XXXX student I struggle to make the monthly payments ( I should be done within XXXX months to a year ). 
I feel that this situation is largely the fault of Great Lakes. I was told bad information by a customer service representative in XXXX the thousands of dollars that I paid ahead have all but vanished now. 
Great Lakes has been non-responsive to my requests. I have been unable to contact anyone in the company besides front-line employees. I believe that because I am paid ahead on my loan by XXXX dollars, and because Great Lakes has given me bad information, I should be given a period of time in which I do n't have to make payments or perhaps I can make reduced payments.
