Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a repeat of the complaint I filed in XX/XX/year>, # XXXX. This has reoccurred more than 5 times. Despite a Fraud Alert on file, XXXX has again allowed a user of their automated system to unfreeze my credit without confirmation of my identity via text or email. Bank of America, a bank I have never worked with, was for the 7th time, able to fraudulently pull my credit report within minutes of my XXXX credit file being unfrozen and again issued a credit card to a fraudulent party. I am now forced to dispute the credit pull and the credit card. What good is a fraud report and credit freeze if someone can simply unfreeze my credit report? How do i stop Bank of America from applying for credit i don't want and never requested? Thanks for your assistance!

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Didn't receive services that were advertised
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was impacted by the Equifax credit breach. In addition to free credit monitoring, Equifax notified me that I was entitled to a portion of a cash settlement. I received an email with a virtual XXXX  debit card in the amount of {$7.00}. I followed the instructions, redeemed my card, followed the instructions to add it to my XXXX XXXX  on my XXXX, and, when I attempted to use it, discovered that it can only be used with a small, limited number of specific merchants, none of which I actually patronize. In other words, the settlement amount was absolutely worthless to me. In addition, if I wanted to exchange it for a physical card ( which is accepted in more places ), I would be charged {$3.00} - just less than half the settlement amount I was paid. To add insult to injury, if the card is not used, monthly fees get deducted from the balance. So, basically, Equifax was ordered by the court to make cash payments to victims of a breach of THEIR security resulting in possible damage to our credit and/or identity theft exposure and it issued payment in an unusable form, which essentially results in Equifax keeping the amount of the cash settlement meant to be awarded to victims. I wrote an email complaining, and received an email response telling me about the claim filing deadlines, etc. etc. -- useless information
