Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, 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: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I contacted CFPB to report that I had been unable to access my Equifax credit report through Equifax 's website for over 2 months. Each time I tried to access my report I received a message that stated, " We are temporarily unable to complete this request. Please try again later. '' I called Equifax twice to report the issue -- each time I was told that the issue had been 'escalated ' ; however, there was no confirmatory email, nor was there any communication from Equifax via the U.S. mail. I am still unable to access my report. 

On XX/XX/2023, CFPB received a response from Equifax stating that before Equifax could assist me with my Equifax credit file, Equifax needed to verify my identity and address. Equifax stated that they mailed a letter to me describing the documentation needed to verify my identity. As of XX/XX/2023, I have still not received this letter.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Received letter indicating that my Discover credit line of XXXX was reduced to XXXX after they pulled my credit... for what??? There was no reason for this as I have NEVER missed or been late on a payment & always pay more than the minimum payment. So they had no reason to pull my credit... How can they do that? I was not asking for a credit increase or any other thing that would warrant pulling my credit. This action places this account at XXXX  % utilization, when I was previously at XXXX % and working hard to get it under XXXX %. This action is going to severely damage my XXXXredit score and I HAD NO IDEA this action was coming - completely blindsided and devastated by this act. Is there any help from your agency to redress this damage to my credit?
