It cleared my account and now Rushcard Does not want to return my money when they were having system issues and doing a system maintenance update the same day. I am very unhappy, because it was not my problem and customer service is not able to see the error on their end.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (MS)

In XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a complaint against Freedom Mortgage and it appears they do not understand not only contract law but the simple fact that a Federal Law supersedes any of their " rules ''. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been dealing with these guys so lets talk legal terms. 1 : In your last response you spoke of a " Contract '' that is between Freedom and Myself. In basic contact law one must have a contract, review the contract and approve the contract to be held accountable for said contract. Freedom purchased my home loan and I have never seen, or agreed to any terms with a contract that was never delivered to me. IAW If an agreement is not signed, the terms of it are generally not binding. Binding means that the parties are legally obliged to carry out their obligations/duties in the contract. Not only did I never agree to your terms ; I have never seen your so called contract. Most contracts must contain two elements to be legally valid : All parties must be in agreement. Something of value must be exchanged -- such as cash, services, or goods -- for something else of value. 2 : In XX/XX/XXXX Freedom was found guilty and paid a {$2000.00} dollar fine to the State of Mass and was also found guilty of Federal laws which is exactly what Freedom is doing currently. Freedom is currently in violation of the Mortgage Relief Act of XX/XX/XXXX which states if a borrower submitted a payment that covers the Escrow, Principle, and Interest the mortgage MUST process this as a full payment and later will receive the late payment from the borrower. Federal law trumps any rules that Freedom might have in a contract I have never seen or agreed too. 3 : So going forward in may I owed only XXXX and moving forward I am only owe Freedom a back payment of XXXX in late fees. Even in your own response you admit to not following Federal Law. So I am no longer playing this has gone too long. You will apply those payments as required by law or I will be forced to take this further.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

Equifax allowed my information to be stolen in their data breach. They have not contacted me to alert me about the breach, but I learned from the news and confirmed with their tool that my information was stolen - " we believe that your personal information may have been impacted by this incident ''. They sat on this information for 6 weeks, giving crooks plenty of time to sell or trade my stolen SSN, DOB, addresses, and other identifying information. An identity theft could ruin my credit for years to come.

In 2017, Equifax failed to adequately secure my personal information, including my Social Security Number and date of birth, resulting in the dissemination of my information to hackers, and eventually people who purchase this information for fraud. This breach involved myself and millions of others. Equifax failed to notify me in a timely manner, I only discovered the breach through an article in the XXXX XXXX XXXX, over a month after it happened. I received no contact from Equifax.

Equifax mishandled my personal information including name, social security number, address, birth date, driver 's license number, and possibly more. They allowed a data breach to occur in XXXX/XXXX 2017, and they confirmed I could be affected on their website, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. They have put myself and millions of others at risk of identity theft/fraud due to negligent security protocols in handling consumer information. They are further attempting to capitalize on the situation by signing injured parties they are responsible for up for " trial periods '' of their ID protection services. They furthermore failed to notify anyone for three whole months. The negligent loss of personal information of nearly 200 million consumers is unconscionably unethical, and it is further unreasonable that they are not directly notifying every single person affected by this incident.

I called the bank and spoke with XXXX in dispute & resolution on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX told me that the charges went further back that 60 days and that I would only be credited for the charges form the last 60 days, I was disappointed with that information, but decided that it was better than no credit at all. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a text say that my account was overdrawn again. So I went on line and saw that the credit had been reversed. I spoke with agent XXXX and she told me that since I had not reported the charged in XX/XX/XXXX the bank was denying all the charges. I explained to her what I was told by XXXX previously. She said that it did n't matter. I requested to speak with a supervisor, her name was XXXX, she said that federal regulation bars Chase Bank from crediting me any of my money that someone took from my account. I have read CFPB and that is not what it says. I was told by a bank employee that I would be credited the last days. I never received an notice of the decision to take the funds out of my account, which is required by law.

Equifax , Inc. allowed, without my consent, the personal financial information of both me and my spouse to be compromised by hackers. Now they want to offer me the opportunity to monitor my credit if I waive my legal rights to hold them accountable. In addition, I read in the NY Times that corporate executives went on a stock selling spree prior to acknowledging their incompetence and I hope these individuals are prosecuted for this clear illegal activity to the fullest extent of the law. I have been the victim of both credit application and tax fraud in the past and I am sick of wasting my personal time having to deal with the repercussions.

The company has admitted to the breach and started that they " deeply regret '' the occurrence. I believe that they knew about this well in advance of the announcement, and their gross negligence in identifying the breach is nothing short of criminal.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax learned of a data breach that occurred from mid-XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. The breach affected 143 million consumers, and the information disclosed through the breach includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, drivers license numbers, credit card numbers, and dispute documents. Using the official website for information about the breach, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, I was told that I may be among the consumers impacted. Obviously, I did not consent to the sharing of this information. I have a shorter credit history, so any negative effects from this breach can severely impact my credit health. Considering the amount of sensitive information in this breach, I believe the one-year credit monitoring provided at the above website is an inadequate solution to prevent identity theft and credit fraud. In addition, the resolution requires me to waive my right to class action, which I believe is unfair, considering Equifax is completely at fault for the data breach of millions of consumers.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MA)

I am questioning if there is an error in my new escrow calculation. New escrow = $ XXXX/mo., increase of {$220.00} per month over last mortgage year. Current insurances, taxes, and PMI, plus allowed 2 month cushion = $ XXXX/mo. if calculated based upon the actual bills due ( refer to attachments provided ). Bank is saying they base tax estimate on formula using XX/XX/XXXXdata instead of actual bill for XX/XX/XXXX. Bank also did not pay insurance on time this year, causing it to lapse - this is the second time they have had a problem administering the escrow account effectively. I am wondering if they are trying to recoup a penalty or late payment by sneaking it into new calculation. I am living check to check at this time and I can not afford to put a surplus in my escrow and wait to get it back a year from now.

Today I found out that equifax experienced a breach and personal credit information has been divulged for many Americans. I checked via their website to see if my information had been affect and it gave me a notification that my personal information may have been breeched. Equifax knew about this hack for about a month and did nothing to notify me and I had to found out via the news that my personal information may have been accessed. This is incredibly negligible on their part and requires me to put a fraud alert and a potential freeze on my credit accounts and I will need to file taxes early as well. I was given a one month late start to check my credit and my accounts to see if there was any evidence of fraudulent activity, had I not seen the link a friend sent me I would have most certainly missed this as I was asleep from night shift and I 'm not aware that equifax would have contacted me.

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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

Using the information at https : //www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, I determined that my personal information ( including name, date of birth, address, and social security number ) was likely leaked in a recent security breach ( XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX ) on Equifax, Inc. 's systems. Equifax is entrusted with highly personal information by major financial institutions and millions of Americans who use credit. Their greatest responsibility is safeguarding and handling this information properly, which, as this instance demonstrates, they have clearly not upheld.
Because of Equifax 's negligence, myself and millions of other Americans will be at constant risk for identity theft for the foreseeable future, and perhaps the rest of our lives. Equifax has offered free TrustedID credit monitoring to those affected, but use of those services requires users to waive their rights to legal class action, which is truly an unfair ask in this situation.

In XX/XX/XXXX after a HAMP program modification XXXX XXXX sold my loan to SLS. XX/XX/XXXX I received my first statement from SLS stating to pay {$210.00} on XX/XX/XXXX as it indicated there had been {$1300.00} already applied toward the XX/XX/XXXX payment. I telephoned SLS as asked where the {$1300.00} came from and was informed it came over from my former lender with the escrow balance. I paid the {$210.00} as requested. XX/XX/XXXX I received a delinquent statement for the full payment amount. I telephoned SLS and inquired what happened. I was informed somebody moved the {$1300.00} to my balance and so the representative was moving it back to apply toward my XX/XX/XXXX payment. Two days later I telephoned to see if the transfer was successful and was told the {$1300.00} had disappeared. I have gone to their " executive dept '' several times and all I get was " oh there was an error ''. Recently I received a letter from SLS stating they sent the {$1300.00} back to XXXX. XXXX says they never received it. I have been past due for over one year and XX/XX/XXXX I received 4 notices of intent to foreclose. A SLS representative told me not to worry about it but there has been no notice received that SLS is not proceeding with foreclosure. I spent over one year trying to get a straight answer out of SLS about the {$1300.00} and still they have not verified they returned the money to XXXX. XXXX says they would mail me a check if they had received funds from SLS. XXXX wants a check number to track the payment on their end. Further, the {$1300.00} to the penny is showing on my XX/XX/XXXX XXXX statement as unapplied funds. So this whole " error '' thing just does n't make sense.
