Complaint narrative:
To do what is fair to me as a consumer, delete and update my credit report as they are reporting inaccurate information that I have made them aware of but still keep reporting! This has caused me multiple denials and mental anguish that I can't even stand. I will not tolerate this anymore and will seek litigation if this is not handled!

Complaint narrative:
Equifax Credit Reporting -- -- -Poor business practice compared to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX -- -- -Unsafe credit reporting procedures : I was recently informed by a credit monitoring agency that my social security number was released in the National Public Data Breach .

I used the FTC/Free Credit Report web site and my XXXX & XXXX credit report were readily available, however, my Equifax credit report required a formal mailed request that would contain numerous personal identifying details, ie : SS #, DOB, etc.

Sending personal identifying information through the U.S. Postal Service is not safe or reasonable. A document containing personal identifying information can be illegally intercepted going to Equifax, or coming from Equifax. 
To further investigate, I called Equifax to get a copy of my credit report as follows : XX/XX/year>, morning Called several times, I was hung-up on several times by their automated telephone service, I estimate that I was on hold, in total, for over 1 hour. I was never able to talk to a representative. 
XXXX and XXXX do the job right. They provide credit reports in an easy, consumer friendly, and efficient manner. 
Equifax is not consumer friendly. My social security number was released in a major security breech, and Equifax failed to provide adequate support. This has been a frustrating experience. 
I request a copy of my Equifax Credit Report.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Assistance with Mortgage and Loss Mitigation Issues XX/XX/XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have applied for Loss Mitigation assistance due to a medical emergency on XX/XX/XXXX, which resulted in a XXXX XXXXXXXX. I am now receiving Social Security benefits as a result. Despite my efforts to work with KeyBank, I have faced numerous obstacles. 

KeyBank initially denied my request for assistance and has subsequently failed to process my documents correctly. They claim that I did not submit the required Loss Mitigation XXXX XXXX or page XXXX, despite my belief that I included it. Additionally, KeyBank alleges that I did not respond to their calls, but I have consistently answered and returned calls. They have only sent me a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, denying my request without providing details on any missing documents or reasons for denial. 

I have also encountered issues with the increase in my mortgage payment, which rose from {$1500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, to {$1900.00}. KeyBank attributed this increase to unfairly assessed property taxes, as the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX shows incorrect ownership information. I am seeking clarification on why this increase was applied and why incorrect tax information was used. 

Despite providing all required documentation and making multiple attempts to resolve these issues, including a personal visit to a KeyBank branch, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. I have also involved XXXX XXXX XXXX who attempted to assist but encountered difficulties in communication with KeyBank. 

I request your assistance in investigating these matters, including : The discrepancies in my mortgage payment increase and the use of incorrect tax information. 
The mishandling of my Loss Mitigation application and the failure to process my documents correctly. 
Assistance with maintaining my mortgage payments and ensuring fair treatment in this process. 
Thank you in advance for your help and guidance on how to proceed.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of several unauthorized accounts and inquiries from my credit report. These accounts and inquiries are not associated with me, and I did not authorize their inclusion on my report. The presence of these inaccuracies is the result of a data breach that has adversely affected my credit standing, leading to a significant drop in my FICO score. 

Upon a thorough review of my credit report, I identified multiple accounts and inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize. These inaccuracies have led to negative remarks on my credit report, which are unjustly damaging my credit score and financial reputation. 

The inclusion of these unauthorized accounts and inquiries has caused considerable stress and concern regarding my financial well-being. It is imperative that my credit report accurately reflects my financial history and activities. Therefore, I request an immediate investigation into these inaccuracies and the prompt removal of all unauthorized accounts and inquiries.
