Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX at approx. XXXX XXXX  XXXX I attempted to contact Equifax to lift a security freeze on my credit account so that I could apply for a credit card with my financial institution ( I was required to un-freeze my credit with all 3 credit reporting agencies before applying for this credit card ). I was unable to do this online at Equifax- got message " can not perform this action at this time ''. Then I called Equifax and went through their lengthy automated questions and when attempting to un-freeze via automation ( message was that I could not do that at this time ) I was forwarded to an agent. This happened 2 times and was immediately hung up on when I reached an agent. Finally on the 3rd attempt I did reach an agent. They told me that their system was down and they could not do anything via phone or email and to 'try again tomorrow '. 
THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! We are held XXXX by these 3 credit reporting agencies ( Equifax, XXXX and XXXX ) and because of that they should HAVE to provide excellent and prompt customer service. Systems being down is not acceptable. I believe that if a user is attempting to unfreeze or freeze their credit and the company 's system is down then they should have to reimburse us for our time and inconvenience. I spent XXXX minutes on this whole fiasco and I still have to try again tomorrow. What's the guarantee that their system will be working tomorrow? 

I mean, Equifax already had a data breach several years ago that cost customers time & money. Why are they still allowed to be in business with this horrible customer service?

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Cashing a check
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I received a check from my accountant on XX/XX/2023. The check is my tax refund amount and was issued via a bank called XXXX XXXX. The check is for {$3000.00}. I deposited the check via mobile deposit on the Chase app on my phone and I received a notification that the check would not be available until the next day. 

After the next day, I received another notification that the check would be on hold for a week. I was able to use my account until the second day after cashing the check and Chase put my whole account on hold. 

I called Chase and asked why my account was on hold, they said that they were unable to verify the check, although the verification number is clearly on the check. I also provided them with another verification number, that is clearly presented on the bank 's website. 

Basically, Chase is refusing to release the funds and they are even holding my personal funds that are different from the check. 

2 weeks later after depositing the check, I walked into the branch to see how I could verify in person rather than verifying on the phone. They said the maker of the check has to come in with two forms of ID, which is impossible because the maker of the check is a small bank. I asked if my tax lady could come in and verify but they refused. 

I had three accounts with Chase and they only let me take out funds out of one account. The rest of the funds are still on hold. It has been 2 months and I still cant get ahold of my funds. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, they told me they would send the funds from the check plus my personal funds through a cashier check and I would receive it through mail within XXXX business days. I only received a check from them for {$46.00}. I called again on XX/XX/2023 and they are basically stating that they will hold on to my funds for two years and eventually send the funds to the government. This is ridiculous. I have been unable to pay bills. I am a single mother that depends on my funds. 

The next solution would be contacting a lawyer to see what can be done. My tax lady has even called and requested that they send the check back to her so she can issue another check to me or find another solution. They refuse.

Complaint narrative:
I was offered a promotional rate of 3.99 % on purchases. I had 2 fairly large purchases that i planned on making with the card. One was for tuition for $ XXXXThe other was for car repairs on my finance 's car. I had signed up for the promotion. Subsequent to signing up for the 3.99 % rate, I made the above two purchases and thought I made the purchases with the 3.99 % rate in place. I come to find out that I was not given that rate on those purchases. Instead, they charged me over a 29 % annual rate on those purchases. I called the credit card company to resolve the issue. I spoke to a very nice women that tried to help me and she reached out to 2 of her colleagues. I told her I would have never made those purchases using the credit card if I had known I would be charged a rate in excess of 29 % annually. She claimed she had no record of me accepting the rate prior to making the purchases and that only after I made those purchases that I accepted the rate. This was not true. This is a Jet Blue Master card. Barclays is the bank.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I recently did an investigation on my credit report which has caused confusion, stress and the misuse of my credit file, finding multiple inaccurate, unverified and questionable items that the bureaus show not to have 100 % correct. 

Account Name : XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX The first inaccuracy I noticed, when I went into my local XXXX XXXX branch located in XXXX, Texas, I was given the paid off balance receipt of {$1400.00} due to making the first initial payment. However, the reporting balance amount on my credit report shows to be {$1500.00}, whereas the starting balance before my first payment was made of the loan was {$1500.00}? Are collection companies supposed to tack on additional fees? 

The second inaccuracy, when I pulled together my XXXX, Equifax and my Fico regarding the XXXX XXXX account, I quickly noticed different months of receiving payment. Isnt my personal credit file that verily impacts my life, supposed to show accurate information? I have felt unheard and overwhelmed with credit bureaus not making sure everything is verified correctly before throwing any collections onto my credit file. The decisions of the credit bureaus, takes a huge impact on my financial future, therefore needing to make sure collections are verified and correct with everyone involved. Please take care of this matter promptly with a deletion due to inaccuracy and incorrect information that violates the FCRA law. Thank you for your time.
