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

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to freeze my credit report with Experian. They claim that they could not verify my identity and are requesting that I mail them a bunch of personal information to confirm. I feel that they are attempting to prevent me from freezing my credit easily. I also do not feel comfortable mailing these documents with my information on them, which defeats of the purpose of trying to prevent identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
As of XX/XX/2018, XXXX XXXX is reporting a currently open account that payments are being made on ( not late, current as of XX/XX/XXXX ) as a chargeoff and showing it was charged off for $ XXXX. They also show for the past year that the account has been in charge off status under the monthly payment record, which is also incorrect. They are also showing that 0 payments have been made on the account and that the most recent payment is XXXX, which is untrue. I have attached the payment history as well as the current account status. I contacted customer service whom gave me a mailing address and said that the credit reporting department doesnt have a telephone number. I also filed a complaint with the credit bureaus and they wont update the information either. The account is current and XXXX XXXX refuses to update the account status to the credit bureaus while still receiving payments from me. I have not received a response from XXXX XXXX and am mailing a certified letter to the PO Box on XX/XX/2018.

Neither Experian nor XXXX XXXX has provided me proof that I have opened this account, balance/ payment history, or any proof whatsoever that it belongs to me. 

Experian is showing that I had a credit card, account # XXXX, balance {$10000.00}. This is incorrect and needs to be removed. This negative information is causing me a significant amount of damage to my reputation and credit score.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I made a transaction with US Bank on XX/XX/18 and posted a payment in full on XX/XX/18. It was after I made a payment in full I thought the transaction was over, but apparently the bank account number they had was incorrect. This caused my payment to not go through. They did not alert me or send me any notice the payment had not gone through, which is a breach of their fiduciary duty to me, the consumer. They let the late payment sit for months without any contact to me that I was late due to a bank error from XX/XX/2018 until in XX/XX/2018 they flagged me for collections and reported me to the credit bureaus as a 30 day late payment. This flagging my credit reports is the only way I found out I even had a late payment. It was then that I called and immediately paid in full and the representative reversed all late fees and admitted it was an error on US Bank 's part. I have now been in a dispute with them because they refuse to remove the error from my credit report and it is affecting my ability to obtain a mortgage. I have no late payments on my report other than this one made in error and I have always had a clean report. US Bank is trying to bully me into letting this go, but their representative already admitted fault in that they never contacted me one time during the span of 4 months.

Complaint narrative:
I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX at about XXXX from a representative for Evergreen Financial services named XXXX XXXX. XXXX told me that the payment was in default and she needed a payment in full. I told her I don't have the full payment, I have the {$190.00} we originally agreed upon. She insisted that i needed to make a payment in full ( which was a lie ) and asked if I had a credit card. After another exchange of words she asked if i could make a {$200.00} payment. I told her if that's what she needs, then I guess so. I gave her my debit card information and she process the payment with the confirmation # XXXX. Ask for her name and told her I was reporting her. Ms. XXXX 's unprofessional behavior and communication tactics are harrasing, misleading and hurtful.

Complaint narrative:
It all started last year with the equifax data breach. I have put every security measure possible on my finances and credit report, including services offered by equifax such as XXXX XXXX, as well as XXXX. Literally almost everything I own has been hacked due to this breach. I deal with disputes on my credit file DAILY. My email has been hacked, I've lost count of how many times I've changed my bank card and account. I've lost alot of money, time and mental health. The newest situation, the reason for this complaint, is that I went to go apply for something and the company told me my credit was locked. The only way your credit can be locked is by you doing it yourself. I know for a FACT I did not lock it recently ( last week I applied for a cc with no problem ). I called equifax to find out what was going on, and bottom line someone locked my credit report without my knowledge and they have no answers for me. Period. I'm so sick of this. It's ruining my life!!!!
