Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I had an extended fraud alert on my credit report with all three bureaus. I was able to successfully remove from tranunion online and equifax via phone. I had to submit a bunch of supplemental documentation for XXXX but they eventually removed it from their report as well. A few days after the removal, XXXX initated and placed another extended fraud alert on my credit report. This prompted the other two bureaus to readd the fraud alert onto my credit report. I went through the same process again and removed all three. A few days later, another fraud alert was initiated on all three reports without my consent or any documentation requesting it be added on my behalf. Frustrated, I called XXXX  who informed me that they were able to see that XXXX  was the bureau that reinitated the fraud alert. The XXXX representative provided me with the confirmation code that XXXX provided to them when they initiated the fraud alert ( XXXX ). XXXX keeps initiating fraud alerts on my credit report AFTER Ive submitted requests and have the fraud alert removed from my credit report. They initiate the extended fraud alert without my consent and without me submitting additional documentation to them. I can not get and keep the fraud alerts removed d/t XXXX reinstating XXXX them.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, XXXX I purchased XXXX {$2500.00} gift cards from American Express to give to my wife for XXXX. I gave to her on XXXX and she used the first XXXX. When she went to use the second card in early XXXX, all transactions were declined. We inquired with Amex what the problem was and they told us the {$2500.00} had been used for purchases that were delivered to XXXX, XXXX - we live in XXXX. We explained it was fraud and opened a dispute. XXXX weeks ago we were informed our dispute was denied - Amex didn't deny it ; rather, XXXX, their gift card subcontractor, did so and said we had authorized the purchases. They did no investigation and we have subsquently learned lawsuits have been filed against XXXX for similar frauds and failure to make the victims whole. I have tried reaching out to Amex more than XXXX- they just transfer me to XXXX who then tells me 'sorry - the investigation is closed '. I bought the cards from Amex, not from XXXX, and would expect Amex to right this wrong. I need help or I am out {$2500.00}. Thank you.
