Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

In response to the disgusting Equifax data breach, over the past two days ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX, 2017 ) I have been trying to institute fraud alerts and credit freezes on XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX. Although I have called and logged on multiple times at various hours, I have been unable to complete the requests - their systems just say " Unable to complete your request at this time. '' and the " customer service '' operators have referred me to various other phone numbers that just refer me back to the original numbers ( the classic run-around ). Any agency that collects such vital and confidential information on almost every US citizen should be required to develop and maintain robust security consumer response systems. Our data is now " out there '' forever - we ca n't change our Social Security numbers or birth dates so we face identity/credit theft forever, too. I hope that our governmental representatives will fully investigate this failure by Equifax ( including why it took almost 2 months to reveal the leak ) and require solutions that prevent such security breaches and provide consumers with ongoing protection not just for a year, but forever, no matter what the cost to the credit agencies.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC (TX)

XX/XX/XXXX, I scheduled my mortgage payment thru the biller 's website. Not sure if there was an issue with the site, or the submission just did n't go thru, but my payment never made it to Loancare for XX/XX/XXXX payment. I looked on my browser history and could n't find any information due to my history would only go back 2 weeks. I contacted Loancare and explained that I scheduled my payment, but do not know why it did n't show up. I explained that I was currently in the process of purchasing my new home, so there was no way I would have jeopardized missing a payment and causing issues with my credit. Unfortunately, they did n't want to hear it and told me they could n't do anything and that the 30 day late notice would remain on my credit report. I just retired from the military after serving for 20 years, in the process of getting married and this was going to be our first home together. Because of the 30 day late on my credit report, it dropped my credit score by over XXXX points which has caused me not be able to close on our new home and because I just sold my previous home, I am essentially homeless and can not get approved to purchase or rent another home. The loan payment that was scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX was actually credited to the account on XXXX XXXX, but they would not post it to my principle and interest balance since I was in the process of selling my home. I paid off the entire loan balance as of XXXX XXXX, 2016, but the damage has been done and Loancare would not consider removing the 30 day late even though I know I scheduled the payment. I served 20 years in the military and could n't believe that this company would be so unaccepting of my integrity. I had no reason to miss the payment and my weekly income is sufficient enough to ensure my payments can always be made. Plus the fact that I was in the process of closing on my new home, there too was another reason as to why I would n't miss a payment.

Issue: Billing statement — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (GA)

I paid my XXXX minimum required payment for my Macy 's XXXX account by the due date. Macy 's incorrectly posted the payment to my Macy 's store account. I brought the mistake to their attention and they reduced my outstanding balance by the correct amount but did not make the correction to my minimum payment due. This is the third month that I have had to call them and ask them to correctly calculate my minimum monthly payment that I owe them and to reverse the late fees that have been assessed as a result of their mistake. I have spoken to almost XXXX Macy 's representatives in the past three months. I continue to field phone calls and have conversations with Macy 's customer service and credit representatives insisting I am past due and they are attempting to collect a debt since I have not paid the overstated amount in their system. Each time I have had to ask them to look at the notes on my account and explain that it was a system mistake, apparently the result of a software change in XXXX or XXXX. They acknowledge that the error was their fault but insist that there is no way for them to correct the overstated minimum amount due each month. They have now told me that the only way to solve the problem is for me to make an extra payment that exceeds the original amount of the misapplied payment. I am no longer able to use my Macy 's XXXX Account even though I still have a significant amount of available credit. All of my charges have been declined since XXXX XXXX. According to my last conversation with a Macy 's customer service supervisor XXXX XXXX, this has happened before ( a misapplied payment was made by their system ) and it has been the customer 's responsibility to fix the problem if he/she wants to continue using their line of credit. I expressed my shock since the " solution '' they are proposing essentially breaks the credit agreement we have with Macy 's. She then gave me the XXXX. XXXX address for their Disputes Department.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (PA)

Starting XX/XX/XXXX from approximately XXXX to XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX to XXXX I have been trying to reach Equifax via phone, email and on line to freeze my credit information stored by this company and to receive a credit report. I have been unable to get through. Either I get repeated error messages on line as well as no answer through their on-line chat service. By phone, I have experienced repeated busy signals, repeated automated answering loops, disconnections or messages that Equifax is unable to process my request. Via email I received a case number from the company and another email with two phones numbers. One to their security freeze department that is repeatedly busy and another listed as their personal information solutions department saying they are available between XXXX-XXXX est but when I called the automated message asked that I call during business hours. I placed the call at XXXX XXXX ( est ) on XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (VA)

Equifax security breach. 100 % wrong and action needs to be taken against actually ALL THREE Credit Bureaus. They have far to much power over consumers by using such lame excuses as " to many inquiries '' to take points off your score. As a consumer, I have the right to shop around for the lowest interest rates as much as I please. I 'm the one having to pay a loan back. 
The second lame excuse they have is when you have a " negative '' on your report and you pay it, it remains on your report for 7 years. That needs to go. 
When is the CFPB going to get some backbone and protect the consumer? Or are you going to remain a powerless Agency at the mercy of big banks and sharks?

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA)

I signed up with XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. After getting XXXX three times in two months from this gym I complained to the manager and they canceled my account and credited me the amount that was charged to my account. Over the past four years I have canceled my credit card and have been issue new cards with new numbers at least 2 times maybe more. I do this whenever their was a major data breach with any of the companies I have done business with. I typically to not go through my credit card statement with a fine tooth comb, I glance through it, making sure nothing major is sticking out every month. After the XXXX XXXX ordeal I decided looked at this month statement a lot closer and noticed I 'm being charged {$65.00} per month from XXXX XXXX. I contacted the gym to inquire about the charges. They were shocked I have been charged and advised me to contact my credit card company. I contacted my credit card company and this is what I was told. Regardless the amount of time I have canceled my card in the past few years and had new numbered card sent in its replacement if their was a merchant who has been charging me every month they will continue to allow this charge as a service to me regardless of the canceled card. If I have ever done any business with any company in the past with any of my canceled cards they will allow the charges to go through. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 
What is the point of canceling the card? 
I was advised I should hire someone to go through my credit card statement every month if I 'm worried about the charges. 
Year to date for XXXX I have spent $ XXXX so far on this card I average $ XXXX a year on this card and pay it off every month. For me to go through every charge every month will take hours and hours of my time. 
The whole reason of canceling a card is to stop unauthorized charges form continuing to happen. I asked them to provide me the contract by where I agreed to allow them to allow charges to my canceled card. They do not have this agreement. 
I requested the agreement by where this merchant was allowed to charge my current account? They do not have this either.

I spoke with my Personal financial Consultant on this matter XXXX XXXX XXXX ask me to get a letter from XXXX XXXX showing the balance is " XXXX ''. I like to address the issue with you concerning Equifax reporting tactics on my credit report.

Quicken Loans did not calculate our escrow correctly with our new home resulting in having to pay an unreasonable amount of money. After living in our home for the first year, QL sent us a check because we overpaid escrow. I called QL, and they assured me that it was my money to deposit into my bank account and do with what I pleased. Since the new escrow calculation, the amount the check was for is the amount I owe in escrow. They did not calculate our home with the land the last year which caused us to have to pay an unreasonable amount of money.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

I bank with Bank of America and I am sick of their NSF fees. I have set up daily text to notify me of balance because I am human and sometimes forget how much money I have, etc. I am currently unemployed so I usually deposit money to cover my bills, etc. 
Today XXXX/XXXX/17 I got a message that my account is overdrawn since yesterday and have racked up {$70.00} worth of NSF Fees. I understand that it is my responsibility to have money but I 'm unemployed and on a tight budget. Anyhow I have been charged with XXXX NSF fees because although I had enough to cover the bill I paid on Saturday they decided to post another bill that was paid on Monday and then post the Saturday XXXX. The bill posted on Monday overdrew my account and then the Saturday bill overdrew it more. It upsets me because I had enough money to pay the Saturday bill but they will not refund me the NSF for that bill because of some mumbo jumbo " hard post '' to yesterdays bill. 
On top of that I never received a text from Bank of America notifying me of my daily balance yesterday. In fact whenever my account if overdrawn they never send me the daily text to " warn '' me and let me know my account needs attention instead they wait until the next day to let you know but by then its too late and you 're shoved NSF fees. I find it convenient that they never seem to get the text out on those days but they managed to get another text about their offers out to me.
