Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how equifax has handled reporting this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media.

Issue: Opening an account — Unable to open an account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

I am being accused of, by the bank, of perpetrating the fraudulent activity. I deposited a fraudulent check unbeknownst to me at the time of deposit. When I realized that something was " not right '' I went to the bank and tried to explain what happened and the bank representative informed me that I could not do anything at the time and that I should wait to hear from them to pay what I owed on the account. I never heard from the bank. A couple years later I tried to open a new account and was denied. I was informed that I had to admit to being responsible for the fraud committed and pay the bank fees and then they would consider my request to open a new account. After I refused to admit any wrong doing the bank representative informed me that he could not help me nor advise as how to resolve this situation. I have submitted all the documentation necessary to evaluate and support my side of the story. Including the initial email contacting me in this fraud.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AL)

I was informed via email on XXXX XXXX, 2016 XXXX the day of closing XXXX that Bank of America would not close my loan due to an active redemption period on the home. I had been working with XXXX XXXX since XXXX XXXX, 2016 when I received conditional approval. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I submitted my loan application along with the sales contract and other related documents. The sales contract included a foreclosure acknowledgment. 

Throughout the loan application process, I provided requested documentation in a timely manner. I would also call XXXX XXXX to inquire about the status of my loan application and ask if any additional documentation was needed. I was constantly assured that everything was moving along as planned and that there were no issues with my application. 

On Monday, XXXX XXXX, 2016 I called XXXX XXXX, loan processor, to inquire about the status of my loan and to determine the final closing costs. Please note this was my first time speaking with XXXX XXXX, and I had to initiate the call. XXXX XXXX stated she needed a few more documents, but assured me my loan would be ready to close on XXXX XXXX, 2016. She was unable to provide the final closing costs at that time ; however, she stated she would call me Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, 2016. I called XXXX XXXX on Wednesday, XXXX XXXX and left a voicemail. I never heard back from her. I was informed the closing attorney sent XXXX XXXX documents related to the bond of redemption, and XXXX XXXX never responded to the email. 

On Monday, XXXX XXXX, 2016 ( the day of closing ) I receive an email from XXXX XXXX stating my loan would not close. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I have received with Bank of America. I find this very unprofessional and irresponsible. I should have been informed that BOA could not close my loan earlier in the process instead of on the day of closing. There is absolutely no excuse for practicing business in this manner. 

I wasted valuable time and money by choosing BOA. Someone at their organization dropped the ball on my loan application, and it is impacting me negatively. Now, I am left to find a lender who can process my loan in a short amount of time since I was prepared to move into my new shortly after closing. By using another lender, I am forced to start the loan application process all over again. Interest rates have increased since I was locked in at 3.5 %. Now I am looking at higher monthly payments. I will also have to pay for another appraisal. 

My loan was not closed as it should have been due to no fault of my own. As such, I believe I should be compensated for wasting my time and money. I requested that BOA refund me the cost of the appraisal and credit report, {$470.00}. However, they have been unresponsive.

Company: U.S. BANCORP (WI)

My dad left me an IRA upon his death at US Bank and one at Edward Jones. I spoke with US Bank and on a number of occasions and told them I wanted it rolled over into the IRA at Edward Jones. Because my dad 's name is still on this account, according to Edward Jones, that is possible. US Bank would not do a transfer, they said something about it being too complicated and it would be easier to send me a check. I told them I did n't want to get taxed on it and if we did it this way, would I be able to roll it over into this other IRA at Edward Jones and they said yes, I would have 30 days to do so. They wrote the check out to me, I deposited it and went in to Edward Jones to write them a check, but they told me the check from US Bank had to be made out to me and to Edward Jones in order for it to roll over. Now, when I normally get tax money back from the government, I have to pay {$2900.00} in taxes because this approx. {$12000.00} in IRA money got taxed since I could n't roll it over. I called US Bank wanting to send them the money back so they could re-issue the check correctly, but I was told by my tax preparer that US Bank ca n't do that. I think they should have to pay my taxes since I made it clear to them I wanted to roll it over they clearly handled it the wrong way. When I call US Bank, I keep getting referred to the woman who told me wrong in the first place ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). Does she not have a supervisor I can talk to? I know in filing a complaint, US Bank may contact me, but at this point, I really do n't want to talk to them. All the evidence needed should be in the notes of my phone calls to them and in the recordings of the actual calls. My contact with them first started in XXXX or XXXX of 2016. They told my sister the same thing with her portion of the IRA, but her other investing company caught the error before she deposited her check so after a number of phone calls and forms, US Bank finally re-issued her a check made out to her and to her other investing company. US Bank is saying that because I deposited my check, there is n't anything they can do and I 'm the one who signed saying I wanted the check. I signed it because they told me that is what I had to do to get it rolled over into this other IRA at Edward Jones.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

In rebuilding my credit, I 've opened  XXXX  accounts w ith Capital One and  have never missed or had a late payment.     For reasons unbeknownst to m e, Capital One r estricted my last open account without disclosing any information why on a Saturday in  XXXX . My card was simply unusable.     Upon callin g Capital One, the c ustomer service rep informed me that s/he was unable to help as it was a weekend and that I would have to wait until Monday to speak with the fraud department. After waiting through the weekend, I called on Monday to the fraud department. They informed me that there was an " internal investigation '' and my account would be on hold for up to 30 days. When asked why, they said there was no further information they could give me and were unable or unwilling to escalate my call to a manager.     I called almost weekly as I still had not received any information from  Capital One.  On  XXXX   XXXX , after receiving a call fro m Capital One ( the *first* contact from them on their end ) w here the fraud representative said she still did not understand what was going on with my account and she 'd update me in a week, I went online to check my account.      Capital One ha d closed my account on  XXXX   XXXX  and, again, never informed me, or even informed their fraud department, as the individual that called me still said that she was unable to see any information on the account.     I called in again and would n't get off the phone until they transferred me to a supervisor, even though the rep advised me that " they wo n't be happy that I 'm transferring you. '' After being put on hold, the supervisor said that due to an internal error they closed my account, having nothing to do with me, my payment history, or my credit, and that the decision was final and I should be receiving a paper notice in the mail within the next week.     To be clear : no matter if you make your payments consistently and on time, never ONCE have a late payment, and have more than one account with them ( I also have a car loan and other credit accounts -- ALL in good standing and not one ever having a late payment ) Capital One can and will just close your account, never inform you, and then, after 45 days of no contact or explanation, state that the agreement you sign says they can close your account for any reason.     This is unconscionable behavior for any company, let alone a company with the power to control and rate, your credit. Beyond disappointed in ho w Capital One treats  their customers.

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I tried to put a freeze on my and my husband 's accounts at Equifax. They took my husband 's request but denied mine - I have a copy of the denial. It suggests that I mail them my information - including my social security number. Are they crazy to ask me to send my data via unsecured postal mail? They obviously do not understand security risks. 
I checked if my data had been compromised on their site and they said probably. To add insult to injury they also charged the {$5.00} fee for the freeze to my credit card even though they did n't process my request. I tried to call but after 16 minutes of waiting to be connected someone answered and hung up. When when I tried again all circuits were busy.
I have put freezes on the other 2 agencies so am only concerned about Equifax. Can you as an agency make them notify anyone who 's information has been compromised whether or not they have their credit monitoring protection? I should n't have to enroll to be protected if they are responsible for compromising my information. 

Thanks

XXXX/Comenity Bank charges fees on fees!! 
I hold a XXXX credit card through Comenity Bank. I was charged a late fee when I paid off my full balance two days late. Although the payment made two days late was my oversight, that late fee was subsequently reversed, and as I paid my balance in full I was not expecting any further payments due. However, unbeknownst to me there were XXXX additional late fees charged as well as interest because of the initial late fee. There were no additional purchases made and the balance outstanding on the account was all fees and fees charged on top of fees. I spoke to a representative named " XXXX '' Id # XXXX and she was unwilling to remove the fees. I hope the principle of charging fees on fees is not one that XXXX nor Comenity bank condones. The amount is negligible, but the practice of charging fees on top of fees is reprehensible. I enjoy shopping at XXXX, and I hope this matter can be addressed expeditiously to keep me as a loyal customer.
