Complaint narrative:
I received a letter requesting my Tax ID #. The letter was dated XXXX XXXX. In bold letters they wrote : To keep using your account please resend by XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX We don't want to lost you as a customer but this account will closed if we don'e hear from you by XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX. 

I called them around XX/XX/XXXX to clarify what would meet their requirements. 

On XXXX XXXX I faxed them a page I believe would meet their requirements from my XXXX taxes. 

I called them on the XXXX to confirm they received it- but it was not logged into their system. I called again a few days later and confirmed it was logged in the system and would take 10- 12 days to process. Also, that " no news is good news '' On XX/XX/XXXX my card was frozen - without any notification. 

When I called customer service, ( XX/XX/XXXX ) the supervisor could only tell me was that my info was in the system and it could take 10-12 days to process ; that she had no access to any other information as it was in a different department. 

I believe this will affect my credit score, it has already impacted my business with automatic deliveries and payments

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX  ) 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. ''

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Earnest Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I changed my payments to bi-weekly and also lowered them since I was paying more than the minimum payment. To do so, I still have to make my original monthly auto-payment of {$350.00} in the same month the bi-weekly start- making it 3 separate payments in a single month. Because of that I wanted to lower that to the minimum payment of {$300.00} like the prompt said when I changed my payments ( in the screenshot ). 

I called to lower my next payment to the minimum amount before I start the biweekly payments ( website says it takes 2-5 days to process ) and they said I can't change it and I have to pay the XXXX. I still have A WEEK until that payment is due and they won't let me change it to the XXXX. 

I'm doing this because I can no longer afford to pay more and I have to break it up. I should be allowed to pay the minimum when there IS time to process the change ( in the amount.
