Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I recently reviewed my credit report and discovered multiple accounts and inquiries that I did not authorize or recognize. I never gave written instructions or permission for these entities to access or report information on my credit file. This is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically under 15 U.S. Code 1681 and 1681b.

These accounts were added without my knowledge or consent, and I believe they are connected to identity theft. Ive already submitted an FTC Identity Theft Report ( Report # XXXX ), which confirms that Im a victim of identity theft. Despite this, the credit reporting agencies have continued to report these fraudulent items, which is unfair, harmful, and illegal.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My student loans with Mohela were migrated into the new XXXX platform in XXXX while my loans were in forbearance. When forbearance ended and the payments were due again I logged into the new platform to set up autopay, because doing so reduces your interest rate by .XXXX  %. I received email verifications that my request was received and thought everything was fine. However, the automatic payments were never made. 

I have since set up auto pay at least 5 times, with email verifications received each time ( dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, yet every time I log back in to check there is no evidence that autopay is set up. This has caused me to accrue additional interest and even to miss a payment. 

I have attempted to contact Mohela/XXXXXXXX but I have been unable to reach a person on the phone due to long wait times and all means to contact them via the website appear to be broken- all the forms to contact them don't do anything when you hit submit. I have just tried to submit their contact form again while filling out the form and it still does not work after more than 6 months.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is about an XXXX XXXX XXXX card in the amount of {$500.00}. This gift card was purchased at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I tried using this card in XX/XX/XXXX on vacation in Florida and it was declined. After I used the check my balance I found out it was {$0.00}. Keep in mind I just removed the card on site of purchase from the unopened original packaging. I looked into this and found that the charges were from various locations and businesses that I did not make. I live in XXXX  XXXX and all these charges were made in Florida Dates used were XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted Incomm Payment notified them of this problem and opened a dispute. I sent them pictures of the card and packaging as requested. I received an email saying we thoroughly investigated, and your dispute is closed. They didn't give a reason, so I called and spoke with a fraud analyst for that company. Basically, the outcome was maybe you forgot you already used the card ; the card was physically used in the same state that you vacationed. I am furious that they think that I am the scammer. I repeatedly told them I have never been to those areas in Florida, and I just removed the card from the package. Regardless, I said I can send you proof that I was not in Florida those dates. She preceded to say you could have given that card to someone else. I am the victim in this story not the scammer why would I pursue this matter if I am guilty. Researching further and learning that this scam is nationwide epidemic and how they deplete a card before the buyer has a chance to use it is concerning. I didn't appreciate this company accusing me of negligence and they offered no real solution. Therefore, I am out {$500.00} that I purposely saved this card to use for a vacation. This industry must better protect consumers and put measures in place to avoid scammers from getting this information. I will never buy a gift card again. If people avoid buying gift cards and there no longer a market for this maybe they will do something about it. Until then you are at risk.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
