Complaint narrative:
The public record / lien that was recorded ( Ref. # XXXX ) does not comply with the rules set forth in the National Consumer Assistance Plan that states that liens must have a full name, address, FULL social security number, and/or date of birth to be included on a credit file.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I applied online as a member of Navy Federal Credit Union for a credit card onXX/XX/XXXX2017. Within a few hours in was an online message declining. I called the next day and onXX/XX/XXXX2017 to inquire why but was told the letter was mailed out last week explaining the reasons for being declined. However I never recieved anything so I called again todayXX/XX/XXXX2017 to ask could the letter be resent cause I never recieved it the representative told me no they wont do it. I explained as a consumer there are fair creit laws that state I have a right to be notified. The representative stated they will not email it through their secure online banking website nor resend it. This is pure nonsense things get lost in the mail so it should be no big deal to reprint and mail my credit decision letter. 

This is horrible customer service.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I am among the unlucky people whose information was released in the Equifax data breach. In obtaining my credit reports, I saw that Equifax listed two wrong previous addresses for me - including one in suburban XXXX that was linked to fraudulent charges on my credit card. 
I filed a complaint about the incorrect addresses. 
Somebody -maybe real Equifax maybe phony - sent me a form asking me essentially to repeat that complaint in writing or online. 
The site I was sent to was : XXXX There apparently is no such site. XXXX dubbed it suspicious. 
So I went to the equifax site and found the connection for filing a complaint. 
The site asked for my COMPLETE social security number - the very one they gave hackers - but said I could hide all but the last 6 digits. Despite my choosing that option, they displayed the whole number. 
I tried to remove it but could n't. 
I filed my challenges as directed - one incorrect address, one clearly fraudulent one. 
Then, the site asked me to send a copy of my Social Security number, drivers license or utility bill. 
This is outrageous demand from a company that has ruined my and many others ' financial lives. 
I tried to cancel everything, but the site snatched it away. 
Equifax is not only a stupid company, it 's a ruthless one. 
Please stop these creeps - who incidentally are still hawking their useless security service at every turn - from further damaging innocent people like me.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My tenant sent me the rent via ACH using his XXXX XXXX account using ClearXChange. I got an email that I am receiving this money and i clicked on that. Just to check the status - i logged into the account. It had my XXXX XXXX checking account. But then ClearXChange asked me to switch to XXXX ( their so called easier and faster platform ). There were no documentation in terms of the consequences of doing this. 
When i did that - i come to know that XXXX is only mobile based app - it 's not something that can be done via computer browser ... it 's strict no no for me. Worst thing - it cancelled my ClearXChange profile and cancelled my incoming transfer. 

Out of frustration - i called the toll free # at around XXXX XXXX central time and happen to talk to XXXX and XXXX ( supervisor ) about it. But talking to them was the most hopeless thing in the whole world. 

Few questions : 1 ) Why in the world they are forcing customers to switch to the new platform?
2 ) Ok, you can ask customers to switch to the new platform - but why you are cancelling their existing money transfers?
3 ) With the platform change - their IT or operations should have done the heavy lifting task to migrate the customer profiles and money transfers rather than passing the entire burden to the customers to do that. Moreover they negatively impacted all the customers. 

This is plain simple ridiculous. Customer service seems to be operating from XXXX and does n't even know how to deal with customers in this kind of situation. They are taking customers for granted.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
There are three old accounts that are not supposed to be reporting on my credit. In XXXX, I was laid off and unemployed for several months. I notified my creditors accordingly and while they still reported me delinquent on my credit, they agreed to work with me in the future once I paid back my debt. Only until recently in XXXX this year, I was finally able to pay off my accounts in full. Since I communicated my situation with my creditors for months, three of my creditors ( XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX ) all agreed to request a deletion to the credit bureaus of my charged off accounts after I made my payments. The account number for XXXX is XXXX. The account number for XXXX is XXXX. The account number for XXXX XXXX is XXXX. Three months later, it is now XXXX XXXX and this credit bureau still has not honored my creditors ' request to delete these three accounts from my report. I have disputed this delay with the bureau but they are responding back only stating that the accounts have been verified. That is not even my dispute. I know these were previously my accounts. I am disputing the fact that my creditor sent a deletion request and the credit bureau has not made any changes to my credit. Just to be sure I 'm not being given the runaround, I called all three companies, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX this week and they confirmed to me they already made the request for deletion to the credit bureau in XXXX. This is clearly a problem and this is why I am filing this complaint.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: SD

Complaint narrative:
Called the company on XX/XX/XXXX to get an extension on the loan, was told everything would go through just fine, submitted the request to continue with no payment. Received a call that it was denied because we had yet to make six payments. Called company back XX/XX/XXXX to see what was going on. Said that we had yet to make six payments so we were unable to receive extension, did inform the agent spoken to that we had made six payments and that was confirmed by the previous agent. Said that with the payment that was recently made we were at six payments, tried to schedule another extension, once again being told that we can do that without having to pay XXXX to continue with the extension, was told that I would receive a call when that was approved. Waited until XX/XX/XXXX and still received no call. I called company to get the updates on the extension and was told it was denied yet again because of not making six payments, informed the agent spoken to that I was told that was not the case. Asked to speak to a supervisor was on hold for over 7 minutes and never transferred to supervisor, instead I was hung up on. I called back right away and talked to a gentlemen representative and was told that we could process that request and we could only do it with a payment. Had I been told that from the beginning I would have just made the payment to get this going. I do not believe I should be told inaccurate information more than three times.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have submitted a credit card application for an additional CapitalOne credit card as an existing card holder with CapitalOne. After submitting an application, I have had to contact CapitalOne seven times to get information on why the application was not approved. They declined requesting more documentation. I submitted social security card, and Drivers License. They denied the application again for insufficient documentation and request bank statements, XXXX XXXXs, and proof of residence. After submitting this documentation they asked for me to wait two weeks for approval. I followed up two weeks later where CapitalOne made another mistake and did n't combine the documentation into the correct file. After resubmitting the documentation for a third time I was told that it would be approved after processing. After not receiving my credit card for a month I contacted CapitalOne two more times to discover that my application was declined again and archived. Now CapitalOne is stating that they need to hit my credit again in order to resubmit my application in order to get a credit card that I was told I would be approved for.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was a regular user on Coinbase 's XXXX exchange for virtual currencies. One day while I was submitting orders their exchange had technical problems. My order was submitted and funds locked up, however, the order was never filled, and I was unable to cancel the order. Ever since my money has been unaccessible ( in any form ). 

I have tried reaching out to Coinbase over several medium including submitting a request ticker on their website and via email. I have received no response and my money has been inaccessible for days.
Coinbase has become notorious for their treatment of customers complaints. In fact users have had so much difficulty contacting Coinbase that scam artists took note. A successful recent scam was to pretend to be Coinbase technical support and create phone numbers and websites. Frustrated users who are unable to get in touch with Coinbase would inevitably resort to XXXX  for alternatives and unwittingly click or call one of the scammers.
I would be satisfied if my money was returned to me, however, I feel that action should be taken to force Coinbase to handle customer complaints. I am not asking for a miracle, even a basic response after a few days saying they are looking into the problem would be acceptable. 

Please do n't let this business continue to act in this manner. 1. They are abusing their customers and 2. They are opening up a window for scammer to take advantage of their customers. 

I would be happy to provide my account and contact information if it helps in this process,

Company: Nations Direct Mortgage, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I have a mortgage with Nations Direct. I lost my main job and it caused my income to drop. I immediately contacted Nations Direct to talk about lost mitigation or maybe a loan modification. I was denied any help. They just kept giving me the run around. They had me to send the same papers over and over again stating they never received them when I got confirmation each time that they did go through.
This Creditor is acting like they want me to lose my home and not offering me any type of loss mitigation

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

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft. I provided all necessary documents to Experian in XXXX XXXX to place an extended fraud alert on my file. They did accept my documentation, and placed the extended fraud alert on my file on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I called Experian to request a security freeze be placed on my file. The agent said it would cost XXXXXXXX}. I explained that my file with them already has an Extended Fraud Alert and in the state of Wisconsin, I am therefore entitled to place a security freeze at no charge. The agent told me I had to submit a police report. I told him they already have the police report from placing the Extended Fraud Alert. He put me on hold, came back and told me the police I submitted for Extended Fraud Alert wo n't work for the security freeze. What???? 

He would, however, be happy to put the security freeze on if I paid the XXXXXXXX}. It seems to me what they are after is the {XXXX}, not so much a police report. 

This certainly does not seem fair or logical to me. They are making it difficult for me as a consumer,
