Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit freeze on file with the XXXX major credit reporting companies. XXXX and TransUnion do not offer two-factor authentication for the accounts that people are required to set up with these companies in order to establish a credit freeze. ( XXXX does offer XXXX. ) Very little personal information is required to set up these accounts, and as a result they would be very easy to hack, particularly given the number of major data breaches there have been, including of XXXX itself in 2017. XXXX offers two-factor authentication for certain of the paid services if offers. Why isn't it -- and TransUnion -- required to offer XXXX to consumers who are trying to protect their financial information?

Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
On or about XXXX XXXX I started an online HELOC application with BMO Harris. I specifically told the Loan Officer, XXXX XXXX, that I had frozen my credit scores and that I would inform him if that changed. ( XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX emailed me that BMO Harris would need to pull credit within XXXX business days or that application would need to be cancelled. He called me on XX/XX/XXXX and said that he needed to know that information, ( I have retained a copy of the voicemail and email. ) I replied by phone that day that I wanted to withdraw my application. 
Without my authority or consent BMO Harris pulled my credit through XXXX & XXXX, the day before the phone call by XXXX XXXX. 
I never gave BMO Harris or XXXX XXXX the authority to pull my credit and he knew my position and that I withdrew my application. 

As a result, my credit score and my wife 's score suffered from having a " Hard Pull '' and I am demanding that BMO Harris find a way to have the credit inquiry removed from my records.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I got a phone call from XXXX on Saturday morning saying they were the CFPB calling on behalf of XXXX  XXXX XXXX where someone tried to open a credit card in California ( I live in another state ) using my name. He read the correct last XXXX of my Social number and my birthdate to me. I was suspicious and hung up. He called back on XXXX. He said he would remove the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX from my Transunion credit report and put a free " life lock '' on my Social Security number on my credit report and he also gave me a CASE ID #. I asked what that meant and he said whenever anyone tries to open a credit card with my Social, I will get a phone call. I again asked if this is free and he said yes. ( I suspect that I have unwillingly signed up for a credit monitoring service that I will have to cancel. ) He also said he was looking at my credit report and saw that I had several credit cards that were at their limit and delinquent. I said " yes there are ''. Then he said there is a 0 % debt settlement offer and did I want to hear it. I said " No ''. ( I think this is the real reason for the call. ) After the call I looked up both numbers on the internet and saw they were both ROBO Call numbers. I also looked to see if the CFPB will ever call me and I saw your answer saying " NO, the CFPB will never call you. '' I did not give any personal info. to this guy but he ALREADY had some of my personal info. I think that the most he gained from this call is that I am a living person and that my phone number is really mine. 
One last thing, I saw in my email that a few hours before this call Transunion sent me an offer for credit monitoring services for a fee. 
I do not know if this is related to this call or not.
