Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am a customer of Experian 's upgraded membership that I pay to utilize. Their service advertises a credit lock feature where a customer can lock and unlock their credit profile at will, both online, their app, and via the phone. 

For the last month I have been unable to unlock my credit profile. I have spent countless hours on the phone with their less than helpful customer service. I have gotten nowhere contacting them. I have contacted them via XXXX as well. XXXX days ago I opened a XXXX  case. None of these methods have allowed me to utilize my credit by unlocking my credit report. 

My credit is currently being held hostage by Experian, yet I am still paying for their membership.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Someone paid me money using Chime. The email notification I received said I could claim my money by " use any valid XXXX debit card to claim your money instantly, and securely. '' However, it also gave me the option to open an account. I thought it might be a useful feature to be able to pay people via this method, so I signed up for an account. I went through all the required steps including scanning the front and back of my driver 's license and taking a selfie. 

The next day I get an email saying my account is suspended and that I need top verify my identity. The fact that there was a problem with something I had already done, and before I even got started with the account did not fill me with confidence. So I requested that my application for an account be withdrawn and that my money be paid to me using a valid debit card. 

However, they refused. They said I had to verify my identity again before the suspension on my account be lifted so I could get my money. 

I told them I do not want an account with them and I am certainly not going to verify my identity with them again, just so I can close my account. I certainly do not feel comfortable them having my information if they " lost '' it once before. 

I spent almost XXXX minutes on the phone trying to sort this out before the person hung up on me. This further reinforced my decision that I do not wish to have to deal with this company any more than necessary.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/year> I logged into my Transunion account to see if my credit was frozen ( NOT LOCKED - FROZEN ) I opened this account quite awhile ago and at that time, i set up my user name as the same as my email account. BUT this email account was closed a long time ago and I no longer have access to it. 

When I signed in on XX/XX/year>, my user name ( which as I said was my old email address ) and my password was accepted. However, I was asked to put in a verification code BUT this code had been sent to my OLD and DISCONTINUED email address so I could not access the code The website said that in order to change an email the Website Support Team had to be contacted. I called BOTH website support team numbers ( XXXX and XXXX ). I called BOTH of these numbers MULTIPLE times and EACH time I answered about XXXX or XXXX prompt questions and then EACH TIME I WAS DISCONNECTED. 

I then tried the general phone numbers ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX ) AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED! 

This entire process took me close to XXXX hours between repeating phone calls, answering prompts and finding phone numbers that I could call. 

I NEED TO HAVE ACCESS to my account so that I can freeze/unfreeze my account when I need to. I do NOT want to lock it - I want to use the freeze option. 

I need a human being to talk to me and talk me through this. OR AT LEAST NOT disconnect the phone and let me wait OR call me back. AI Chat boxes do not work for me- they never seem to solve the problem. And as an FYI, I did NOT have any trouble with XXXX or XXXX on the phone - they were both able to tell me ( via a recorded message ) that my accounts were frozen I am hoping that the company will contact me and solve this problem - otherwise, what will I do when I need to have my credit reports opened-???? i THINK lenders need to see all three reports

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC

Complaint narrative:
Shellpoint mortgage servicing increased escrow accounts by 40 % this year based off of false information regarding my property taxes. I appealed with them several times and they will not reduce my impounds back to where they were. Furthermore, the actual mortgage originator and shellpoint mortgage servicing told me that my impounds would only last for 6 months. Also, my escrow balance is very high, too high based off of the increase in escrow.
