Consumer complaint received 2017-11-01 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. Following the Equifax data breach I placed a freeze on my credit reports with all three credit agencies. I almost signed up for the " free credit monitoring. I quickly realized if I did indeed log on and use that service the company would no longer be held accountable ... Now, a month and a half later, I need to temporarily lift the freeze and let my lender access my credit report to complete a loan on the asset that I 'm purchasing. I 've been trying to contact Equifax online and over the phone for three hours to lift the freeze and have n't been able to have my request fulfilled. They do n't have access to customer service at all! All their phone numbers refer to automated systems which also do n't work and offer you to send requests via mail! 

I 'm sure there consumed with legal issues and lawsuits but ... Equifax should be especially attentive to its customers now after the data breach, but it seems that the company does n't care about its reputation at all. After three hours of unsuccessful attempts to resolve an issue that should n't have taken longer than a few minutes, I feel totally helpless and lost. 

Bottom line is there are accounts or activity that you do not recognize could indicate identity theft. 

I do want to file a lawsuit for past, present and future damages.. I also want all credit bureaus to remove all 3 credit freezes. 

There seems to be accounts or activity that I do not recognize could indicate identity theft. There is unusual activity taking place at the moment..Now that my personal info is leaked, my social security number, everything! I do n't need 1 year of free credit monitoring, honestly you should be offering 75 years of credit monitoring! But I 'm not interested in your credit monitoring services. 

My lawyer advised me to contact Equifax we recorded the phone calls and it was the worst customer service, words do n't describe. We could not get in touch with one single representative!! ( Over the course of a week )!!!! 



P.S. unrelated to the lawsuit we will most likely file ... I would appreciate a refund from Equifax for the {$15.00} I paid to freeze my credit report. I would also like them to refund me the other {$15.00} to lift the freeze or that they lift a all 3 themselves. I would appreciate if Equifax could lift my credit freeze & contact the other 2 bureaus to remove the credit freeze as well. 

Once that has been completed we will most likely file a lawsuit for damages, this will JEOPARDIZED my identity for THE REST OF MY LIFE! 

Compensation : {>= $1,000,000} Thanks and looking forward to your response.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
My bank card was swiped by someone located in XXXX, Florida on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I called and reported the unauthorized transaction on the same day. I was told that the transaction would have to be investigated. It is XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I had to call Suntrust Bank for an update regarding the issue because Ive received no communication as to what is going on. I was told that the claim was denied and that I would have to submit proof that I did not make the purchase. I was told that I would have to submit a rebuttal and the process would take another 45 days to investigate. A few months back, I had to file another claim due to an Suntrust ATM issue. The ATM took my money, never provided a receipt and the funds never appeared in my account. I had to wait for an investigation to be completed before receiving the credit. Earlier this summer, I made a cash deposit with an actual Suntrust bank teller at XXXX XXXX. and there was no sign of it posting the next business day. It should have posted immediately. I went back into the location on the following day and was told that the bank teller made a mistake. I provided my deposit slip and the memo/credit was placed in my account. I reported the latter two incidents to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I recently had a payment for a bill come out of my Wells Fargo account around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I had meant for it to come out of another account. I am on a very limited income but I accepted that it was my fault. The account was overdrawn by approximately {$200.00} and an overdraft fee was assessed. I was making {$20.00} payments on it when I got paid every two weeks as this is all I could afford. While making payments, I received numerous calls from the collections department. I answered and spoke with a guy who tried to get me to commit to a larger payment than I could afford and on an exact date. I told him that I would pay what I could, when I could. I continued making my {$20.00} payments every two weeks, give or take a few days. About three days after the fourth payment, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, they closed my checking account despite the fact that I was clearly making regular payments and would have it paid off soon. Now it will reflect poorly on me in XXXX or whatever reporting agency Wells Fargo uses. I paid what I could as soon as I could and not sure what else I could have done when they closed my account.
