Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Because of their sloppy programming, Experian has allowed multiple hackers to freely access very personal information. In order to freeze my account or other necessary actions to protect myself and my credit reports, I have two choices : Try to accomplish my various, extremely limited, options off the free program or :2, pay to have the company fulfil their moral obligations and allow me to access my personal information 24/7. There is no reasonable scenario where a company that steals my information can then force me to pay exorbitant fees just for the " right '' to view and alter my personal information. It's obscene for a company like Experian to allow themselves to be hacked over and over. I can not accomplish what I need to do because Experian hides it all behind paywalls. 

It took me over a month just to create a username and password. Their poorly designed website continuously told me that Experian could not accept either way to even get in and then, when it looks like I succeeded, using this same username and PWs, it claimed that none of that exists on their servers. Today, I was able to access a small amount of free options, but there is a paywall to gain access to everything else. I should not be required to pay Experian when I doubt very seriously that they will not be hacked again and again. 

I hereby request some action from CFCB or other US Departments that forces every credit reporting company to ALWAYS make my account free and no benefits lost as I avail myself of the only moral response which, as stated, ALL information be accessible free and without any limitation. Considering the massive hacks that this company allows, I need full disclosure of all of my account and the rights and benefits thus entailed.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/year> Nature of Complaint : I submitted a dispute to Experian disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : Payment delay due to postal service issues : In XX/XX/year>, I mailed my payment well in advance, but due to delays with the postal service, the payment arrived late. This delay was beyond my control, and the payment should not have been marked as late, as I acted in good faith to ensure timely payment. 
Payment made within the 15-day grace period : Despite the postal delay, my payment for XX/XX/year> was received and processed within XXXX 's 15-day grace period. As such, this account should not have been reported as 30 days late. 
Evidence provided : I have attached bank statements and payment confirmations showing that I sent the payment well before the due date and that it was processed within the grace period once received. This evidence clearly demonstrates that the reported late payment is inaccurate. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Experian has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being. 

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act. 

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint.

Product: Payday loan, title loan, personal loan, or advance loan — Payday loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — 
Company: Big City Finance, LLLP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I applied online for a short term loan in XXXX. Within minutes Power Finance called with a loan offer of {$800.00}. I should have turned it down, because the loan ended up being one that by XXXX, I would have paid {$3000.00} back I was not able to pay it back in a month. Each month I got more and more behind with other bills. In XXXX I made a payment of {$400.00}, then XXXX - XXXX, the payments were {$500.00}. By XXXX, I was only able to make a payment of $ XXXX.By XXXX I had paid {$2200.00} back Instead of working with me, they said I should refinance. I got {$53.00} from doing that, but then the agreement was to pay {$600.00} each month, through the rest of the year. So far I have paid almost {$3000.00} ( {$2800.00} to be exact ). If I continue to pay the monthly payments, I will have paid over {$5000.00} by the end of the year. This makes me feel as though I am dealing with loan sharks. This would be considered a predatory loan, in my opinion. They definitely prey on people.
