Consumer complaint received 09-12-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (PA).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Didn't receive services that were advertised

Complaint: 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. 
Going forward equifax should be required to monitor every account and notify victims if any fraud occurs. Credit fraud protection should be mandatory for every account, not an option for us to have deal with. 
This should be rectified firstly by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. Requiring a police report is absurd when they clearly know if you were affected.

Consumer complaint received 09-04-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (KS).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: As of XXXX XXXX, XXXX there is a derogatory mark appearing on my XXXX Credit Report from XXXX XXXX. However, I do not recall ever taking out any lines of credit from XXXX XXXX. 

Specifically in dispute are the derogatory marks for XXXX and XXXX XXXX. In accordance with laws governing credit transactions in Kansas. XXXX XXXX would have been required to be registered with the Kansas State Banking Commissioner under K.S.A. 16a-6-201. I have checked with the Kansas State Banking Commissioner and they were not licensed with the Kansas State Banking Commissioner until XXXX, meaning any contracts would be void, as they did not have authority to enter into any contracts in Kansas before XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 

Additionally, I allege any such loans are in violation of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, Truth in Lending Act, the UCC and are void because they fail to meet the requirement of having an original signature as required by Kansas Law. 

Finally, as I do not recall ever entering into an agreement for credit with this company I also never recall giving agreement for my credit to be pulled or to have this company report to my credit bureau, which I contend would have to have an original signature.

Consumer complaint received 11/17/2015 about Credit card () with PNC Bank N.A. (DC).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: I have been a customer of PNC bank for about 10y. And I just had a scary experience with this branch. 

On XXXX/XXXX/15 I stopped by to make a deposit and get a copy of my statement since I was going to DMV ... Which was a horrible experience too. 
The bank teller had the audacity to open a credit card account without my AUTHORIZATION or even mentioning it to me. The lady kept asking me weird questions which I found so unprofessional such as the area I live at is very expensive, how much I pay for my rent! I must make good money to live there ... These questions were very annoying and I should have sensed that she was actually cooking something for her own benefit. 

This lady opened a credit card account without my AUTHORIZATION!!! I find out later they get some kinda credit by opening credit card accounts for their customers ... They are trying to get as much customers as they can. This lady now most probably ruined my credit as we all know in order to get a credit card they run your credit and closing it also affects your credit. 
I 'm very frustrated that PNC bank put me in such situation where now I have to deal with things I never had to deal with and I 'm pretty sure I will no longer be one of their customers because I have lost my trust. If they were able to open a credit card account without my authorization they are also able to use it. And this is a fraud and illegal. 

Ah and the best part is some lady called me which I forgot her name and I think she s a manager at that branch. She was trying somehow to convince me that this is n't a big deal because I 'm a pre approved for a credit card and that 's why ... Lady no pre approved or not there is no way to open a credit card without me AUTHORIZING it.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( AUTO ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( OTHER ) XXXX XXXX Opened Date XXXX, XXXX Opened Date XX/XX/XXXX the items are not correct result of ID THEFT and are causing me financial distress because of their derogatory information.

What is your authorization of law for your gathering of information? What is your authorization of law for your collection of this supposed debt?

Consumer complaint received 02-06-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with Empowerment Ventures, LLC (AP).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I transferred money from my Rushcard Prepaid Visa card on XXXX XXXX, 2015, to my XXXX checking account. It was an amount of {$370.00}. The money is shown on my XXXX account as a credit and the balance showed that. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, {$370.00} was debited from my XXXX account back to my Rushcard account, and my Rushcard was unlinked from my XXXX account, bringing my account to a negative balance. That money should have gone back to my Rushcard, but it did n't. I also found out that the transfer out of my Rushcard account into my XXXX account did n't show up on my Rushcard. I called XXXX, and they told me that this would be on Rushcard 's side. Rushcard has been telling me that they do n't see the transaction on my card, so I ca n't get my money back. When I first called Rushcard about it, I was told that the transaction was seen on my card, and that whenever their system recovered from the system outage that occurred coincidentally right after I transferred the money, that my balance would be updated. Subsequently, I was told that the transfer is n't seen on my transaction history. I also keep being told that I ca n't make transfers out of my Rushcard account, which I was unaware of when I attempted to move the money between accounts. I called Rushcard a week ago, and I spoke with XXXX, who is apparently a senior customer service representative. He gave me his employee # and told me he would work this issue personally since it had been in the works for so long. I asked to speak with him today, and I was told that they did n't know if he was at work and that there was no way to get in touch with him directly. His employee # is XXXX.
