Complaint narrative:
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.

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I first contacted XXXX about the unauthorized inquiry. They informed me that I need to get a police report if I did not authorize the inquiry and to contact the actual company who placed the inquiry. I went to the police department and I have attached the document that I was given. I faxed over the information they requested just to be told that it was not good enough they needed an actual report. So unknowingly I called the police again and tried my best to get an " actual police report '' that they requested. Only to be told numerous times that they do not give actual police reports for this type of matter, only for car accidents. I added the card of the police officer whom made the report only to be told that they ca n't contact the police.Next I contacted Exeter Finance Corp the company who actually placed the inquiry on my credit only to be told that it was nothing that they could do because they received the authorization through XXXX XXXX XXXX even after I expressed to them that it was not me. I next tried calling XXXX XXXX XXXX multiple times leaving many messages unable to get anyone to assist me.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
This is one of many complaints you will receive about Equifax 's security breach. I was not alerted in any fashion and only found out through word of mouth that my social security number, full address, date of birth, and possibly drivers license are compromised. Since Equifax offers a way to unfreeze credit using this information, it is impossible for me to guarantee illicit use of my information even if I employ a credit freeze.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax allowed my credit information and report to be accessed by unauthorized parties via a loophole in the computer code, enabling the system to be hacked. Furthermore, they are only offering 1 year of free credit monitoring ( using their own company, mind you ), giving the hackers only a year before they can jump in and use my information. This is incredibly unsettling as I had no choice in Equifax actually having my credit report and now I can not trust anyone with my personal information. I wo n't even talk about how it took over a month for this breach to be released to the public and I also wo n't mention how some executives sold a lot of stock worth millions between the breach and the release of the information to the press. Interesting.

Complaint narrative:
" Equifax Inc. said its systems were struck by a cyberattack that may have affected about 143 million U.S. customers of the credit reporting agency ... Some XXXX and XXXX residents were also affected. '' " Intruders accessed names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and drivers license numbers ... Credit card numbers for about 209,000 consumers were also accessed. '' " Criminals took advantage of a " U.S. website application vulnerability to gain access to certain files '' from XXXX through XXXX of this year ... The intruders also accessed dispute documents with personal identifying information for about 182,000 consumers. '' " The company set up a website, www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, that consumers can use to determine whether their information was compromised. Its also offering free credit-file monitoring and identify-theft protection. '' I have done what should be done - 90-day fraud alerts set up, checked my reports to see if it 's been used yet and it has n't - but, the fact that Equifax ADMITS IT HAD A VULNERABILITY ( IT KNEW ABOUT ) is absolute XXXX. They should have fixed it LONG before someone was able to find and use it. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people had their information read/stolen, and all anyone can do now is sit and wait and hope they were n't picked. I want them held accountable for their XXXX.
