Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint with CFPB concerning harassing phone calls from the stores which are Capital One, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX! I had been talking with them all concerning lowering late payments as well as smaller pay off amounts to get my cards back current and usable.

Some even lowers late payments and took money from me saying my account was in good standing and I would be able to use my cards in XXXX weeks! They all closed my cards without notifying me and I called constantly! This has drastically messed up my credit and after being harassed and lied to SOMETHING must be done!

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX in response to the XXXX hack I attempted to put a security freeze at all 3 credit reporting services. When i tried to do that online at XXXX they said I had to create an account or sign in. I tried to create an account but the computer said I already had an account. This is possibly from about 15 years ago when i tried to fix an error on my report. 

I have no idea what the password or username would be so I tried to retrieve them. The the computer gave me the message that it could n't get the account info and was unable to complete the request. 

I finally had some time today ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) to try again. I called XXXX, waited on hold and was finally connected. The person told me I had to call Consumer Relations at XXXX. I called and was placed on hold. The person told me I had to call the Consumer Relations Online Dept at XXXX I called that number and the robot gave me options none of which was to talk to a live person and none of the options was for what I needed. It was all robots. 

I called XXXX again, was placed on hold and they again told me I had to call the Online number. When I told them I was unable to talk to a live person they said I had to call that number. I talked to a supervisor and he said he had no information about that department and could not help me but I had to call that number to resolve my problem. 

Unbelievable/ frustrating! I gave up and am writing this.
I had the same problem with the 2 other credit reporting companies. I could get into their websites because they said I had an existing account but could not tell me the Username or Password.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I, XXXX XXXX tried to have a credit item removed that was re-aged by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I showed proof that XXXX had cut off approximately seven-years of payment history. The fact that I modified the original loan does not lock out the pre-existing payment history. The Federal Trade Commission has through several mandates to stop credit bureau subscribers such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from re-aging of credit trade lines. The facts are as follows : Original mortgage taken from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with account # XXXX Original mortgage transferred for servicing XXXX XXXX with same account number Loan transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with same account number Loan modified XXXX XXXX, and a new account number was assigned # XXXX Loan continuation of payment history must be applied to loan number XXXX from loan number XXXX The fact that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of payment history on the new account number is a re-aging process where the trade line timeline is illegally extended.XXXX**** should have been XXXX XXXX, as the original first late payment shows on file number XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I request a full and complete reinvestigation by XXXX XXXX on this matter, as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX has avoided the subscriber agreement with a credit reporting agency. Therefore, since the complaint against XXXX was not rectified, I must file an FCRA violation complaint to remedy the matter. 
The XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX account # XXXX must be deleted permanently!!!

Complaint narrative:
TrustedID XXXX by Equifax The website is impossible to reach and the XXXX number posted is never open. The enrollment for credit/ID protection due to the recent hack of Equifax is difficult to navigate and the process is never ending compounded by the severe difficulty to even log in to my account. 

There is always a XXXX wait for each phase of the protection enrollment but there are very long delays due to the website to log in is always down. 

Equifax is falsely advertising that it is taking care of the 140+ million names that have been hacked but days are passing by fast without any real expeditious help from Equifax to protect us. 

Equifax management should be prosecuted for this horrible breach of consumer identity protection.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
To The CFPB, Paypal illegally took back and placed on " hold '' a payment made by XXXX " XXXX ''. This is the second time she 's filed false claims about me to PayPal. I have provide full irrefutable proof that " XXXX '' is lying and PayPal continues to keep my money on " hold ''. This letter I 'm providing to the CFPB explains this situation in detail. Paypal should be held responsbile for this action and liable for any charges I incur for their stealing this money from me and placing it on " hold ''. 

Paypal You ca n't " hold '' my account based on XXXX 's false claims. You records will show that this is the 2nd time she ordered services and then demanded a refund after receiving the services. The last time she did this I refunded to her. She sent the money back to me and then contacted Paypal telling them that I did n't send the money. Your records will show that I did send her that money. I sent that money the last time because I was recovering from an auto accident and could n't help her. 

Now let 's talk about this present complaint which is the 2nd time XXXX has fabricated false claims against me. In this case she willfully chose a 3 services discounted offer where she has received 90 % of that offer. There 's no way she can hold the amount she paid as she 's already received the services. All that was left was the phone consultation which I offered this Wednesday.XXXX was angry that the XXXX XXXX advised her to be patient and work on herself before considering dating. XXXX also got mad at this and attempted to cancel this offer which ca n't be done. I told XXXX that I am available for the final {$10.00} ( not {$15.00} as she paid {$10.00} ( discount ) for the Phone consultation ). She did not pay {$15.00} and can not demand {$15.00} as she 's demanding. 

This is an XXXX XXXX service. Everyone knows that. It 's XXXX who gave the questions. I just read what the cards say. Everyone knows this. XXXX did not like the answers the XXXX gave. Her XXXX XXXX took me about 4 hours to do. With in 20 minutes of receiving her XXXX XXXX ( which takes at least XXXX to listen to and more hours to obey what the chart tells a person to do in their life ) XXXX was complaining. 

The work has already been done. She ca n't order the work, receive the work and then damage my income or my name with totally false claims. The only fee left is {$10.00} ( phone consultation ) not. XXXX  didnot pay {$15.00} for this phone consultation. She paid the discounted fee of " {$10.00} ''. I told her this is available whenever she 's ready. I did nothing wrong and am entitled to the full {$40.00} minus the PayPal fee.
