Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( XXXX ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( XXXX ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( XXXX ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( XXXX ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AL)

I had an event that I thought was fraudulent. I was confused as to how a company, who I had given my old card number and had canceled due to me feeling that they were a fraudulent company, had my new card number. After calling my bank, Regions Financial, today, XXXX, after receiving a letter from them stating that the withdrawal of the funds was not fraudulent, I was told that it is Regions ' policy to persist payment on all debit cards that are set up for withdrawals. I asked if this was something that I signed to say that this was okay to do and I was told that it was n't anything that I signed to give permission, but rather a policy of Regions. I 'm not sure if this is the practice of all banks, but I would think this falls under the overdraft protection where I would give permission for that service and would know that if a company has my card for withdrawal that it would not stop due to my card cancellation. 

The other issue is that the agent I talked to in the bank had no idea of this practice. He was actually confused and thought that the company who continued to charge on my account had access to my account number. So, this is definitely not " known '' information within the bank because those agents of the bank who opens accounts do not know in order to inform account holders. I ended up canceling the account that was attached to that card and opening a new one because I thought that a company had my account number.

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I was the victim of identity theft. I followed all the necessary reporting steps, including reporting it to the 3 credit reporting agencies. I contacted the companies that were involved in either granting credit in my name to the thieves or who had reported and inquiry into my credit. This week, I became aware that TransUnion had not removed the initial fraudulent inquiries off of my report, and had allowed another inquiry on XX/XX/XXXX ( even though I had put a freeze on my credit and had fraud alerts on my account ). I contacted TransUnion and they said that I had to contact the companies that received the credit requests. I contact the first creditor ( creditor # 1 ) and they assured me that they had, in fact, sent documentation to TransUnion in XXXX of XXXX letting them know that the credit application was fraudulent. They agreed to send it again. The second creditor ( creditor # 2 ) no longer had the application in their records, so they were unable to send any documentation regarding the XX/XX/XXXX credit inquiry. I then called Trans Union again, the first person I spoke with told me that they could see that creditor # 1 communicated with them, but that she needed to forward me to the fraud dept. She forwarded me, and that person also told me that they had notes from XX/XX/XXXX about receiving communication from the creditor # 1, but that she would need to forward me to a supervisor. I was then forwarded to a man who introduced himself as XXXX and identified himself as a supervisor. After explaining the situation, he said that they showed no communication from creditor # 1. I told him that two other TransUnion reps had told me that there was communication. He said that there was none. I told him that I had already been told that there were notes in my file stating that creditor # 1 had communicated with TransUnion on XX/XX/XXXX. He said " that is incorrect and those employees will be disciplined ''. After that, he was short with me and minimally helpful. I asked how it was possible that the other two reporting agencies had removed the fraudulent information from my credit report promptly and had not allowed any other credit inquiries, but TransUnion had done neither of these things? He had no answer for me. I asked why I wasn't informed of the credit inquiry in XXXX of XXXX, and he said that because they had not updated my phone number ( I've had the same phone number for over 25 years! ). I gave them my phone number and my husband 's phone number.

XXXX XXXX was my cable provider at one point. The service was not disconnected at my request and I never received the final bill at my forwarding address. I contacted the company several times by phone to inquire about the final statement. Each time I was given the round around and transferred between representatives. I never received a final bill. I was contacted by a debt collection agency and was furious. I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX and this time was connected to a supervisor and proceeded with to pay the outstanding balance. I was informed the debt collection agency would not contact me again or make any credit report listings. That information was false and I now have a negative credit listing from Diversified Consultants.

Good Morning, In regards to the Equifax promised XXXX  XXXX credit monitoring & free credit report freezing. 
Not only have my credit accounts been compromised, but Equifax continues to be negligent with helping consumers protect their credit. I went to www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/ as instructed by Equifax announcement. I filled out the Equifax form to get free credit protection. Equifax then sent me an email saying that they would send me another email to finalize my enrollment and activate my product. It has been 7 days since then and I have not received an email from Equifax to complete the enrollment. 

I ca n't freeze my accounts until the process is completed. So my credit is still vulnerable. 

I called the Equifax call center and they did n't have any info about activating my product, but told me to call another number. How do I know who is on the other end of this 'other number '? My confidence in Equifax is null. 
Please help consumers protect their credit and make Equifax follow through on their promiss.

Company: SLM CORPORATION (MN)

I currently get my private loans through XXXX. I got these loans when I started my 2nd year of college. At the time, I figured it was the best option for me to help me get through my years at school since I wasn't getting enough through XXXX and wasn't getting help from my parents. I graduated in XXXX of XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, I was suddenly hit with a big amount of money that I was suppose to pay monthly that I was not going to be able to pay. I was able to bring it down at the time to {$490.00}. By XXXX of XXXX, it had gone up to {$500.00}. XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX I was paying {$500.00}. When a year had gone by, the amount jumped and I was paying {$660.00}. As of right now, I am paying {$670.00} a MONTH ( its slowly going up each month )! I tried calling and asking for a way to make my payments easier for me to pay and they said there was nothing they could do except get me in forbearance, which for me was NOT an option that I wanted nor did I agree with. I am literally using a single paycheck to pay for this loan. Three of my loans interest rates are 11 % and the lowest one being 7.1 %. The other two are at 9 %. I am to the point where I am not going to be able to afford daily life because this loan is taking half of what I make from one job a month. ( This isn't the only loan payment I pay, but I haven't had issues with Federal Loans at the moment ).

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NC)

I sent a letter to XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion on XX/XX/2020 about inaccurate and unverifiable items on my credit report. It has been over 4 months and I have not received a response from anyone. I feel like my dispute letters are being ignored and that it does not matter and that I am being taken advantage of. In section 611 ( a ), it plainly says that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. Since it has been over 120 days, these items should be deleted immediately. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress this is causing me. I am trying to apply for a mortgage and this is preventing me from doing so.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

On XX/XX/2020 I received a phone call from someone claiming to be with XXXX. They stated that there was an error with my XXXX account and needed to walk me through correcting the issue. 

They asked me several questions about my account, my name, my XXXX  account, etc. After asking for the information, They were able to access my account on my phone. They informed me that in order to correct this information they would need me to open my account app so they could ensure it was working properly with the XXXX. 

I noticed when they were doing this, funds began moving from my account through the XXXX app. This first transaction was for {$1200.00} at XXXX, however this transaction failed. I was told this was because my XXXX was broken. The second transaction was for {$1900.00} which was successful. I was told the XXXX was fixed at that point. I was then told the funds were being immediately sent back to the account. however they did not. When I questioned the representative she stated to just hold on a sec she was working to get the funds put back into the account. Then she hung up. I tried calling her back from the number that she called from, however it was a disconnected number. 

I immediately called Bank of America and advised them of what happened so they could try an investigate the theft that had just occurred on my account. They stated they would immediately look into this. 

Almost 90 days later I received a notice from BANK of America stating they would not refund my stolen funds.
