Complaint narrative:
I am writing to lodge a formal complaint concerning a significant data breach that occurred with Equifax in 2017, which has adversely affected my credit history and score since. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I have noticed several inaccuracies and negative entries that coincide with the timeframe of the aforementioned breach. It is my belief that the data breach has directly resulted in these erroneous entries, thereby damaging my credit standing through no fault of my own.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I had a XXXX on or about XX/XX/, I had to go on FMLA leave from my employer due to my untimely health event. While you are on FMLA you do not earn your paycheck but your job is secured. I phoned Credit Acceptance requesting a difference and or any way they could assist. I was vehemently denied any assistance on my monthly payments, and told they don't offer those programs. I began working again on XX/XX/, however, I was demoted, and reduced to part time, with restricted hours, which is already being addressed by my attorney and employer. I have been making payments on my vehicle on a bi-weekly basis, attempting to " catch up ''. I have received 8 to 10 phone calls daily from credit acceptance, some after XXXX XXXX. These are threatening phone calls, and excessive. This is not helping my recovery, but instead is causing undue stress to my health conditions. I have requested intermittent FMLA from my employer as other health conditions have been exposed by the initial health event. I do not need or invite their continued harassments when I have been attempting to get caught up on my finance loan. These business practices should be investigated.

I have been trying to log into XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( Experian.com ) account since XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to reset my username and password and their system stated that my DOB and SSN was wrong so I sent an email on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  to inform them that I might have had my account hacked because I definitely know what my SSN and DOB is. They responded back on XX/XX/XXXX requesting this information The full name you used when registering for your account Your Member ID - This is a unique number that can be found in any email from Experian or by logging into your account clicking the grey image icon in the upper right corner The email address connected to your account The phone number connected to your account. 
I provided all of the requests information on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  besides my old phone number because I don't remember which number I used. On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I received this message To retrieve your username online : Go to Experian at XXXX XXXX XXXX Click forgot username Enter the requested information. 

I supplied all of the requests information and even attached a picture of my driver 's license along with a picture of my face next to my driver 's license informing them that I believe zi maybe a victim of fraud and that their recovery information was wrong. 
On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  they sent this email stating The best way to address your concern is to speak directly with one of our Customer Care Representatives. 

Please give us a call at XXXX XXXX I called the number but it doesn't take me to speak with anyone directly it redirects me back to my login which I can't do without speaking with someone. 
I checked my credit score and noticed that someone has been running my credit report almost everyday for the past two months and without being able to log into my account I can't stop them and Experian isn't doing anything to help.

Complaint narrative:
I have been having a whole lot of trouble communicating with the credit bureaus. I have no idea why. 

If I call, I get put on hold for what seems like forever- with the worst hold music, to boot. I think that they put terrible hold music on in hopes that people will simply hang up. If anyone ever answers, it's always a foreigner with a thick accent that is difficult to understand. I threw my voice out and injured my throat yelling last night on the phone with a XXXX rep after she told me twice that I was being rude or mean to her when I literally was not. My spouse as my witness.
