Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected.

I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights.

This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I signed up to get a new US Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card for one purpose : to pay my outstanding {$4300.00} balance for a cruise I bought from XXXX XXXX. The bank advertises that the credit card awards 4X points for every dollar spent on travel expenses, but they only credited me XXXX. So instead of XXXX points, I got only XXXX points. When I questioned why I did not get XXXX points, I got this reply : " We do not have the ability to control how merchants classify their businesses. Therefore, we reserve the right to determine which purchases qualify for additional rewards. Our records indicate XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX classifies their business as a travel agency. Purchases must be made directly with airlines, hotels, car rental companies, taxicabs, limousines, passenger trains, or XXXX XXXX to qualify. This means your transaction ( s ) to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX do not qualify towards the additional rewards. '' Obviously, XXXX XXXX is a CRUISE LINE. Look at their website here : https : //www.starclippers.com/us-dom/ In my opinion, this is classic BAIT-AND-SWITCH and FALSE ADVERTISING.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Per 15 USC 1681e ( b ) - Accuracy of Report, credit reporting agencies are obligated to " follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. '' XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax have CONSISTENTLY, PERSISTENTLY, and NEGLIGENTLY violate my federally protected rights under this code and violate my rights under FDCPA, FCRA, UDAAP, and the state of California 's consumer protection laws by FAILING to provide MAXIMUM ACCURACY on my consumer credit report AND credit file. Since XXXX and more aggressively since XXXX, I have been fighting for my rights to ensure that BOTH my consumer credit report and credit file reflect the maximum accuracy with XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax. To date, BOTH my consumer credit report AND credit file remain INACCURATE. The following information is INACCURATE specific to the addresses listed in my consumer credit report with XXXX and must be removed immediately : INACCURATE ADDRESS : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX 
XXXX is the ONLY credit reporting agency that STILL lists these addresses on my consumer credit report. Thus these addresses MUST be REMOVED to assure maximum accuracy per 15 USC 1681e ( b ).

Per 15 USC 1681e ( b ), the following accounts remain INACCURATE as to the " balance ( XXXX ) '' across all 3 consumer credit agencies : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( inaccurate balance and/or missing the cents ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( inaccurate balance ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( inaccurate balance and/or missing the cents ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( inaccurate balance and/or missing the cents ) XXXX XXXX ( Inaccurate balance ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( inaccurate balance and/or missing the cents ) XXXX ( inaccurate balance and/or missing the cents XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( inaccurate balance and/or missing the cents ) XXXX, XXXX and Equifax MUST ensure " maximum accuracy '' and if they can not, the accounts must be DELETED/REMOVED. 

Due to XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax 's FAILURE to provide ACCURATE consumer credit reports on my behalf, I have suffered damages by being refused credit BOTH personal consumer credit AND business credit. This has caused me GREAT FINANCIAL HARM as I am unable to obtain personal credit to help improve my quality of life and this has prevented me from obtaining business credit causing my business to remain without the credit needed to fund and successfully start my business. Thus, my livelihood has been negatively impacted and I am unable to obtain the credit needed to make payroll and cover operation expenses for my business.
