Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Portfolio Recovery at XXXX to settle a debt related to a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card account ending in XXXX ( account number : XXXX ). During the call, I was informed that a payment of {$360.00} would fully settle the account, and that Portfolio Recovery would update the credit bureaus accordingly. 

I proceeded with the payment of {$360.00} on that same date, based on their assurance that the account would be considered paid in full and closed. However, despite multiple follow-up attempts over the past XXXX months, they have neither sent me a confirmation receipt nor updated the account status with the credit bureaus. 

To my concern, the remaining balance of {$360.00} is still being reported on my credit file, which is incorrect and misleading. I have attempted to contact Portfolio Recovery numerous times to resolve this matter, but my calls have been repeatedly ignored or disconnected. 

Given the lack of response and failure to uphold the terms of the settlement agreement, I am formally disputing the accuracy of this account as reported. Please investigate this matter. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

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

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to place a security freeze on my credit file with Equifax, but have been unable to complete the process due to multiple system and communication failures on their part.

I successfully froze my credit with the other two major credit bureaus ( XXXX and XXXX ) without issue. However, Equifaxs online freeze portal has consistently failed, and the identity verification steps either result in errors or denial without explanation, despite entering correct information.

I attempted to resolve the issue via their customer service phone number, but the audio connection cuts in and out severely. I can not understand the representatives. Ive tried multiple times from different phones, and the issue persists. 
Additionally, Equifaxs website does not offer any accessible chat option or clear way to contact a live representative. I believe it is unacceptable that I have no working way to secure my personal credit file.

This lack of access presents a serious security risk, especially in todays environment where identity theft and data breaches are common. Im being prevented from using a service that Equifax is legally required to provide.
