Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
AmEx states on the back of the GC terms that online payments are possible but they are not. Tried to make a XXXX  purchase and the pending hold ( to then charge full amt when shipped ) was immediately denied by AmEx. XXXX XXXX declined the entire transaction. Attempted to call the number provided by AmEx on the card and the XXXX pager but could not get a human. Went in literal circles and was even hung up on. Googled a different number and was transferred again to this number. Called the different no. again and said I really need to speak to a human. Transferred to speak to another human. This individual said that the XXXX needed to provide the full details of the GC ( number, exp date, sec code ) and kept insisting that this needed to be provided and told me instead to just use the card in brick and mortar. I explained that the XXXX pager said online purchases were allowed and then we did a back and forth. GC Balance is more than the transaction XXXX 20 %. Asked to speak to a supervisor, she said they dont have XXXX available. It seems to me that AmEx should not be allowed to claim their cards can be used online if it really is only useable in person.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Despite my previous three written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. In their responses to my dispute letters, they stated that they have verified the items listed as accurate but failed to send me copies of the documents used to verify these accounts, as per my request. 

Their failure to provide these documents indicates that they can not and did not verify any of the disputed accounts as claimed. Furthermore, their failure to delete the disputed accounts that they can not verify after three written requests demonstrates a willful disregard of Federal Law. 

Please review the attached letter. Thank you for your assistance.

I opened a Bank of America checking account for this purpose. I had the account for a year and had never had an issue receiving payments. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a message of payments through text as usual. The awkward thing is that it said " XXXX XXXX '' XXXX XXXX acct ending in XXXX, even though I don't have an account with that bank. I also received multiple texts XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX stating " XXXX XXXX will NEVER call or text you for this code '' It appeared that someone had attempted to create an account. Somehow, my money was transferred to a different account beginning at XXXX that day when clients sent me money. I went to Bank of America to discuss the issue and were told to go to XXXX XXXX. When we went, they told us there was no such account and to return to Bank of America. Upon return, to Bank of America we were told it was a XXXX issue and to contact them. I spoke with someone through XXXX and were told it was a Bank of America issue. It was a frustrating back and forth. Lastly, Bank of America told us we had to change the password and reload the app. I threatened to close the account and told them they cheated me of my money. They got the manager and pleaded that I stay and had me reset my passwords yet again. Nothing was resolved and they refused to return my income of $ XXXX chose to keep business with them as they convinced me. Fraud definitely took place.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
