Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On several occasions this year, I have sought to lift the temporary freeze on my account, encountering persistent challenges stemming from inaccuracies within Equifax 's records. Despite my repeated efforts, these impediments persist each time I attempt to unfreeze my report, resulting in multiple instances of denied credit. The adverse effects of these issues have notably impacted my applications with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX 

In my most recent interaction with Equifax on Wednesday, XXXX, I encountered anticipated challenges. I had lifted the freeze on my credit online to facilitate a phone service check for XXXX, scheduled for installation this week. However, despite my efforts, they continued to assert that the credit freeze persisted. In response, I contacted Equifax to investigate the matter, only to be informed that a system-triggered measure required me to submit my ID and social security card by mail to remove the freeze. 

Seeking resolution, I escalated the matter to a supervisor, who communicated that the freeze would persist until I submitted the necessary documentation to verify my identity. In response, I asserted that I had initiated the freeze and, therefore, Equifax had no right to maintain it, impeding my ability to access credit. 

Regrettably, this situation has resulted in yet another missed opportunity in my credit application. It is crucial that Equifax be held accountable for the profound impact these recurring issues have on individuals ' financial lives.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Every XXXX I receive an escrow analysis for my home that I purchased on XX/XX/XXXX. Huntington had been paying insurance and taxes on my home with my monthly mortgage payment. 

I was very curious this XX/XX/XXXX because I wanted to know what my new payment would be after covid and everything generally increasing. My payment went from around {$500.00} to {$900.00} a month because there was a negative balance in my escrow. I later found out that my taxes had not been paid to the city of XXXX for almost XXXX years. I actually received a letter from the XXXX of XXXX stating I was subject to losing my home. I had no clue any of this was happening. 

After calling and speaking with numerous people, I learned a parcel was " missed. '' This was their exact words. And I'm baffled since they had been paying every year with no problems since I moved in. 

Now, I am scrambling to figure out how I will pay my new monthly payment when this is NOT my fault. I already got another part time job in addition to teaching full time. 

An apology would be great, as they have yet to admit to their HUGE errors, but I also have requested all my documents showing that they have paid the taxes since XXXX, and a resolution that is reasonable and affordable. 

They sent me a refund check late in XXXX. This was probably done in error. Shouldn't I only be responsible to pay that back? I'm still not sure what happened in XXXX. They are doing a review, and I am trying to patiently wait, while my supposed new payment of exactly {$930.00} is due XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Bank of America regarding a blatant violation of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ). The issue at hand pertains to the handling of a fraud claim totaling {$7400.00} on my account. 

I, XXXX XXXX, was unfortunately hospitalized for an extended period of three months and was oblivious to the unauthorized charges made through XXXX XXXX during this time. It is crucial to note that I do not possess a XXXX XXXX account and, therefore, could not have initiated or authorized the transactions in question. 

Despite the immediate cooperation and the submission of all necessary documents requested by Bank of America, the bank has openly admitted to breaking the EFTA federal regulation by failing to provide provisional credit within the mandated 10-business-day period.

This delay in the resolution process has not only caused undue financial hardship but has also demonstrated a clear disregard for the consumer protections established under the EFTA.I deserve a prompt and just resolution to this matter, including the timely issuance of provisional credit as stipulated by law. 

Enclosed with this complaint, you will find copies of all relevant documentation, including the hospitalization records, and any other pertinent evidence supporting our claim. 

I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will thoroughly investigate this matter and take appropriate action against Bank of America for its failure to adhere to the EFTA regulations.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.
