Please help me clear the credit inquiry from my profile, and please mitigate the risk involved in both XXXX and Citizens Bank Credit processes!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

Equifax improperly protected my credit information from unauthorized users. The solution they are offering is 90 days of credit monitoring which is preposterous as this information is in the hands of hackers and thieves and can be used at any time during or even after my life time. This is incredibly frightening to me. When a company values protection and privacy this little they have to be made to protect they people that are effected.

My car was stolen from my proporty and then recovered by the police. They gave me 30 days to reclaim it and santandair bank reposesed the car within the 30 days before i could and tried to make me pay to get it back. Then they sold it off and now they want the full original amount for the loan to be paid by me. Do i need to pay this back if they have the car? I never missed a payment until they took it from me. I come out woth nothing. This seems like a scam. My credit score has never been the same. This was during covid as well this is part of my hardship during covid i just dont see why i should have to pay for a car i dont have.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

In correspondence dated XXXX XXXX, 2017, I mailed this credit repository my request for a dispute, as my credit report contained an erroneous entry. Now that over 30 days have passed I have found this company barely investigated the item and my report is still largely incorrect. In addition, when I reached out the data furnishers to request for validation documents, I did not receive anything to validate the entry. Instead, they requested me to fill up a form and send additional information. From what I read online, FDCPA requires collection companies to provide proof/validation documents upon consumer 's request within 30 days. Another thing that I do not understand is XXXX REMOVED this invalid entry from my report. My credit has been damaged due to this incompetence, negligence and none compliance.

My mother did n't know what this, but I soon learned that BofA had settled with the CFPB for what amounted to over {$700.00} XXXX in total. The problem is that they are still at it. They 're using the trust developed between consumers and their banks over decades to sell worthless services to vulnerable consumers. My mother was ensnared by the practice years before her XXXX XXXX. Her crime was trusting the bank she 's done business with for decades. It 's upsetting. In the 5+ years that she was 'enrolled ', they stole about {$700.00} from her and I 'm sure her story is repeated far and wide. It 's really disgusting. Luckily for us, {$700.00} is not a great deal of money, but I 'm sure it 's a lot for the many other victims.

Earlier this week, Equifax announced they had a cyber security data breach that affected many people. Based on their link that tells you if you may be affected or not, my information may have been affected. This is unacceptable. I try to make habits of protecting my credit, and this company just negatively affected millions of lives. Based on the fine print, if I register to get a year of free credit monitoring, I forfeit my right to sue. This is also unacceptable. Just because someone may have took my information does not mean they will use it within a year.
