Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, at approximately XXXX, an identity theft criminal used my personal information to open an online account with Bank XXXX XXXX. I immediately reported it to the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX department, had the account closed, and filed a report with the XXXX Police Department. 

Subsequently, I placed XXXX initial fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus. The alerts expired as of XX/XX/XXXX. In the meantime, I worked on getting an extended fraud alert placed on my credit file. 

Both XXXX and XXXX promptly processed my request. Equifax has been the most difficult to deal with and has provided the least amount of consumer support. 

After sending in my initial request, Equifax requested that I submit a valid police report. Perplexed, I contacted their customer support and was informed that the police incident report ( Exhibit A ) did not qualify. I was advised to file an identity theft report with the Federal Trade Commission ( Exhibit B ) and submit that instead. 

I submitted the identity theft report as requested ( my SECOND attempt ) and received correspondence from Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX ( Exhibit C ). I had a couple of issues with their response. First, it indicated that I was trying to place an initial fraud alert on my credit file. This is entirely false because my request was for a XXXX extended fraud alert. Second, without further explanation, it asked for the same documentation I had submitted with my second attempt. 

I called the customer service line again and they could not tell me anything except that what I submitted was invalid and to do it again. I asked, What was invalid? They responded, No idea. We have no way to get that information or contact the back office who handles the requests to clarify. I asked to open a formal complaint with the management office. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, no one has since reached out. 

I submitted everything again ( now my THIRD attempt ) with a letter explaining everything that happened ( Exhibit D ). I prepared all the documents exactly as outlined in the correspondence ( Exhibit C ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received the same correspondence from Equifax stating I was trying to place an initial fraud alert and asked for the same supporting documentation again. I compared the two letters from XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. There was no difference between the two ( Exhibit C & E ). Statistically speaking, it is highly unlikely I still did not get it right after three attempts.

I am an active-duty military service member serving in XXXX XXXX . Moving multiple times within the last XXXX XXXX  has made me a prime target for identity theft. For a company entrusted to protect consumers welfare, I am appalled by the lack of support, horrible customer service, and broken processes between customer-facing agents and their corporate offices.
