Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Due to a security breach with Equifax my privacy information was used to place hard inquiries on my credit report. I asked Equifax to provide me with documents that I approved authorization. On XX/XX/2023 I spoke with XXXX of Equifax that refuse to remove hard inquiries on my credit report that I did not authorize. 15 USC code 1681 b states that credit needs to be adequate when reporting. I am asking that cfpb look in the wrong doing of Equifax. If Equifax can not provide me with a handwritten signature please inform them they must remove inadequate information.

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I signed up for an M & T My Choice Premium Checking account promotion for holding a {$100000.00} average statement balance in the months of XXXX and XXXX to receive {$350.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and have yet to receive the {$350.00}. I reached out two times and called the support line numerous times. 

I finally got an answer from an agent that said that I was not eligible for the bonus because it was not transferrable, however, nowhere in the terms did it state that it was non-transferrable. Also, they claim that the promotion was expired, however, the promo expired on XX/XX/2022, per my record and I had applied ( and been approved ) on XX/XX/2022. 

XXXX attachment on this file shows the " current offer '' which is to open by XX/XX/XXXX and maintain the balance in XXXX and XXXX for a payout on XX/XX/XXXX. My offer was open by end of XXXX, maintain in XXXX and XXXX, with a payout on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The second attachment shows that I fulfilled the {$10000.00} balance prior to the end of XXXX. I can supply XXXX and XXXX statements of me maintaining the balance if necessary.

Complaint narrative:
This was a credit card my ex-spouse had opened before we met and had me co-sign but I never used it. When we divorced in XXXX, he was ordered by the court to remove my name from the account. He did not comply, stopped making payments, and the account was closed with negative remarks. I made numerous attempts to have this remedied, but the bank refused to honor the court order, and my credit has been severely negatively affected.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. Despite several attempts to have this information removed, the three credit bureaus have failed to take appropriate action. 

Due to multiple data breaches that occurred in recent years, I have become a victim of identity theft. As a result, I was forced to file for bankruptcy because I became responsible for debt that was not mine. I have made numerous attempts to have the inaccurate information removed from my credit report, but to no avail. 

I have reached out to all three credit bureaus and provided them with the necessary documentation to support my claim of identity theft. However, the bureaus have failed to take appropriate action and have not removed the inaccurate information from my credit report. 

This inaccurate information on my credit report has caused me significant financial and emotional stress. It has affected my ability to obtain credit, secure employment, and has negatively impacted my overall credit score.

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that the credit bureaus correct the inaccurate information on my credit report. I would also appreciate your assistance in ensuring that this type of situation does not happen to other consumers. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

I have tried to do everything right by enrolling in IT ours and I have applied for false certification forgiveness more times than I can count and was always told that the schools self certified me and that theres nothing I can do. I wasnt given an entrance exam on either schooling. I dont feel like this is fair as I have this debt. Now I cant even put towards something that would help me in the future.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint against ChexSystems. I was notified by two financial institutions that there was a fraudulent attempt to open a deposit account in my name. I placed a Fraud Alert with ChexSystems. I subsequently attempted to obtain a copy of my ChexSystems report on line. After two failed attempts I called the number proved to talk to customer service. The number published by ChexSystems does not provide customer service. I called two different numbers listed by ChexSystems and was advised the number was only applicable to activating their monitoring product. They had no idea how I could speak with a customer service representative regarding my report. I downloaded the ChexSystems Request form to obtain my report. and mailed it to the address provided on the form. I received a response on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX which was merely disclosures and a security alert request form. I did not receive the requested report. This unfair and deceptive in that ChexSystems customer service numbers, XXXX and XXXX, do not connect you with a customer service representative that can answer questions and submission of the report request form does not result in providing such form. I have attempted to attach a copy of the request form and response, but they exceeded the memory limit.

I take my credit seriously and these companies have been allowing inaccuracies on my credit report to ruin my reputation.
