Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX  at a XXXX XXXX XXXX who is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) of life insurance policies in our book of business ( including my own ). This morning, XX/XX/2020, I processed two policy loan disbursements against the cash value of two of my own life insurance policies. I used the mobile deposit feature of Discover Bank 's mobile app to deposit the two checks into my Discover Checking account ( a process I have completed at XXXX XXXX  XXXX without fanfare many times in the past ). 

A few hours later I received an email from Discover stating I needed to contact them immediately regarding " unusual activity on [ my ] account '' and that they had frozen my accounts. 

After being hung up on, I called back. The second person asked for my full social security number, which I refused to provide ( the first person did not need this information - nor did anyone else I subsequently spoke to ). I was abruptly and rudely transferred to the 'front office ' by the second rep. Eventually, I was put in contact with a specialist, XXXX. Not sure what department she was in or what she 'specializes ' in because she didn't seem to think it was prudent to identify herself. For whatever reason ... 

After some two factor authentication and a bit of back and forth, XXXX advises my accounts ( both checking and savings ) have been frozen for 10 days to make sure the checks clear. This makes absolutely no sense at all.

I can understand putting a hold on the funds I deposited or only making part of those funds available ( the mobile deposit feature even notifies you that only a part of the deposited funds will be immediately available ). Sensible enough.

However, I can not understand why Discover Bank would think it was even remotely acceptable to freeze both my checking and savings accounts for 10 business days - two full weeks from today. 

I gave XXXX the check numbers and account information for XXXX XXXX XXXX, where funds are distributed for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX life policies. She said she would call XXXX XXXX XXXX and verify the checks to unfreeze my account. She said she would call me back no later that XXXX Central Time. I never received a call back. 

I have no access to my money. How am I supposed to pay bills? How am I supposed to buy groceries? How am I supposed to put gas in my car?

I HAVE LATE PAYMENTS THAT ARE NOT TRUE AND ACCOUNTS THAT DO NOT BELONG TO ME, UNAUTHORIZED INQUIRIES AND AN ACOUNT THAT SAYS CHARGE OFF THAT IS INACCURATE, SEE LETTER OF EXPLANATION.
Complaint sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

I am unable to pay the full payment amount which is $ XXXX+ per a month for my student loan. I called Loan Science to set up a reduced payment plan. They are only able to offer me a reduced payment plan of {$360.00}. I advised that I am unable to pay that amount. I am only able to afford to pay {$200.00} per a month. They told me that there is nothing that they can offer me right now. But, to check back with them at a later date to see if they have any new programs. I told them that I was trying to set up the {$200.00} payment plan before I received a late payment on my credit report or before the loan went into default. They then told me that once my payment becomes more delinquent they will have other programs that they possibly can offer me for a reduced payment plan. But, why ca n't they just set it up now - why do I have to wait until I have a late payment on my credit report or my account is in severe delinquent status before they will adjust my payment amount. They 've done it before, but only after they dinged me on my credit report for XXXX days late - why do I have to have my credit destroyed before they 're willing to reduce my payment when they could set it up now and I could avoid dings on my credit. That seems wrong to me.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

I am a victim of identity- theft, I am writing to request that you block all accounts disputed as fraudulent on my credit reports with XXXX  XXXX Equifax XXXX and XXXX. This information does not relate to any transactions I have made. I did not give anyone authorization or consent to use my personal information. I hereby exercise my legal rights enacted by Congress and The Federal Trade Commission, which explicitly states when a victim of identity-theft dispute a fraudulent account on his/her credit report it shall be honored by all credit bureaus and all fraudulent information should be blocked within 4 days and proper notification shall be given to all data furnishers pursuant to section 605b of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status

Account # XXXX for XXXX was official discharged on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and Equifax continues to state that the creditor has reported to them that the account status as of XXXX XXXX, XXXX is 120+ days past due. When I contacted XXXX they indicated that they have not reported on that account since XXXX XXXX, so they did not indicated that to any credit bureaus. I have disputed this inaccurate information about 16 times over the past 3 years and I want it corrected. It is causing damage to my credit file and causes a lower credit score. It has also caused me to be denied credit. I have submitted supporting documents proving this account was discharged, so how can it be 120+ days past due as of XXXX if I no longer owe on that account?

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

They refused to remove identity theft from my report after receiving police reports and identity theft affidavit when the other bureaus did, equifax refused. They also refused to reinvestigate. 

I had used the app to lock my credit as im a victim or identity theft. I tried to before a loan. Several creditors couldnt pull my report. I contacted equifax over 17 times over 5 days all saying my credit can be pulled but i applied for 5 cards and a car and NONE could get my equifax report. Equifax has consistently showed extreme negligence in handling any issues. 

This is now the THIRD time equifax has violated the FCRA ontop of the breach recently.

This completely shows a constant complete disgregard of the law and gross negligence on a daily basis.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

After multiple attempts at correcting information held by Equifax about my financial account, they return the dispute within 24 hours telling me that all information is validated. They tell me to make a fraud report to the police, but I believe they simply have the wrong information on my file. 

I have attempted all the options they provide, and even called in to there call Center. With the online disputes, they reply very quickly- all information is correct, however with written disputes, i do not receive any response. When calling in, they claim they can not verify my information and as such can not help on the phone. 

I do not know how to correct the information, and they offer no assistance in completing this any other way. This is a form of bullying - I am at the mercy of these companies and the companies they list. 

I have just gotten off the phone to them again, where after using the cell link they sent to verify myself, they claim it wasnt possible according to their system, when they asked questions about accounts, specifically minimum payment amounts or other variable information, they also claim i was not successfully verified and then said to send identification- which they have on file already, having provided it to them for earlier attempts at correction of information.

I heard on XXXX that your company could help me. I feel that Equifax is taking advantage of me and refusing to manually review my letters. As of today, Equifax has continued to leave inaccurate information on my credit report. It has damaged my credit score and I cant get a job because of it. For this reason, I decided to write a letter on XX/XX/XXXX ( Certified Mail ) to fix the incorrect information ( attached ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote another letter ( Certified Mail ) addressing Equifax ( attached ) Confirmation #. The main purpose for this letter is to address the deleted item on Equifax ( attached ) Confirmation #, but failed to correct my information. I also noticed they did not remove the three below accounts ( attached and circled ) that were associated with the personal details that were disputed in the past. This does not make sense to me. 

I believe they are in violation of the FCRA and are refusing to abide by the law.
