Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

On XX/XX/2018, I received my second notice from XXXX XXXX that my Credit Score has dropped 30 points at a second Credit Bureau in the past week and I'm not sure as to why, the account in question has never nor is it currently behind. The Creditor says that they submitted the amount that is currently due this month and before I could pay it on XX/XX/2018, XXXX and XXXX   has dropped my credit Score by 30-60 points and I would like to know why? A Rep a XXXX said that it is because I exceeded 30 % of my total approved limit for that particular card and that Creditors do not want you to exceed that  amount because they feel you are in debt and you can't pay it back. I understand that, but, shouldn't I at least get a chance to pay it before I get a penalty? We had a situation with my car this month and I put the one time  charge on my card not knowing that I would suffer a penalty, isn't that part of what you get these cards are for? I wouldn't normally complain but this policy doesn't make sense, the bureaus say that this limit is designed to stop you from defaults but, if I have a low limit card ( say about {$3000.00} ) and it goes over a {$1000.00} I get a penalty. They say that you are High Risk of not paying it back but, if I have a card that is limited to say {$11000.00}, I can charge $ 3200+ and I'm fine and I'm doing a great job ( credit Wise ), even though I'm at a greater financial risk, Why? The government needs to have the bureaus explain this to consumers before you get this penalty. The Bureaus need to explain who and how these limits are determined. The bureaus are setting the limit on what you can use in any given month, SHOUD N'T THEY BE THE ONES APPROVING THESE CREDIT CARDS ALSO? What is the point of a creditor giving you a limit, if the bureaus aren't going to let you use it? The Bureaus have the power to destroy a persons life in seconds, but, once they give you a mark, it takes month to years to try and straighten it out, Why? The bureaus say that my credit standing is excellent, but I have a risk and usage level of only 30 %, Why? This is submitted as a General Use Statement and if you request further documentation, I can provide it.

Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

I am submitting this complaint on behalf of myself. It is sad that the credit reporting agencies can flat out violate the federal law like this. After several calls to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax and the reps hanging up in my face I am here to get resolution. This is a direct violation per 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( b ) Furnishing A Consumer Report Without The Consent Of The Consumer.. I not once gave the credit reporting agencies written consent to furnish my consumer report at no time per 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( b ) Furnishing A Consumer Report Without The Consent Of The Consumer. I will be be taking this to the next level if this is not corrected. It clearly states that once I notify each credit report agency of any error it is to be removed and corrected. I am the consumer and I am the person to identify this information for validation. It has been almost a full year of attempting to get them to correct my credit file. I am no longer waiting and will be taking this to the next level.

This complaint is being made because despite a properly submitted dispute in regards to me being a victim of identity theft and having fraudulent accounts. The major credit reporting agencies are not given me the relief that the law requires in blocking/deleting these fraudulent accounts.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Equifax left their systems, and by extension, millions and millions of American 's incredibly sensitive information at risk of hacking by criminals. For a company that collects this much personal and private information about this many people, they should have had greater measures of protection in place. It is ridiculous that criminals could hack into a system with this much personal information. 144 Million people were potentially affected which is over half of the credit-utilizing adults in United States. Each of them, including myself, is now at risk for identity theft or fraud for YEARS to come into the future.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

On X/X/2017 I checked Equifax 's equifaxsecurity2017.com site to see if my personal information was compromised by this year 's cybersecurity breach. The website told me, " based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information may have been impacted by this incident. '' With access to my personal information that I believed to be secure in the hands of Equifax, I am worried that I am now at risk of identity fraud/theft and have had to go out of my way to place alerts on my file. Why was I not notified of this? I believe, as a consumer, the information we entrust credit reporters with should be treated with the utmost security and respect, and we should be notified immediately if it is compromised. Instead, I did not know my identity was at risk until I read the news.
Also, when checking the website, they attempted to convince me to sign up for a service which is publicly known for containing an arbitration clause. I find it outrageous Equifax expects us to waive our legal rights after this has happened.

Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Though I still have my credit card with me, somehow my information was stolen, perhaps by a gas pump card reader, which I suggested to the credit card investigator, and a charge of XXXX dollars was used against my card. The credit card company called me and told me about suspicious activity and I immediately cancelled the card and was sent another one. They did not suggest me filing a police report, so I did not think about it. An investigator did call and I suggested maybe my card info was stolen by some type of card reader. The purchase was made on XX/XX/XXXX and the info state XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX, PA. I have never been to Pennsylvania, let alone XXXX. I tried to explain this to the investigator..What they are claiming, since I never lost the card, that it isnt fraudulent Which is obviously not the case, somebody stole my identify info. I have records showing I was at work here in Arkansas when the purchase was made in XXXX, PA. I would love to match my signature with the bill of sail. This is ridiculous.

XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting incorrectly to Equifax and XXXX  a collection in the amount of {$2000.00} on the XXXX XXXX XXXX partial account XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) This collection is completely unsubstantiated and is reporting in error.

The replacment of the carpet is not my responsibility. I did not damage the carpet and therefore should not be responsible for replacing it. I have contacted the ( 2 ) bureaus to remove this collection item from my report however, I have not been successful.
