Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an error on my Equifax credit report from XXXX XXXX for {$1100.00}. I disputed it twice and they did nothing, said they had no note of the dispute. My most recent dispute was XX/XX/XXXX. I was just hung up on by them after being told I had an outstanding balance. I have n't even been in this hospital for over 10 years and insurance should have taken care of this bill. I 've been trying to get the information that I need to sue them in a court of law and they denied giving me the information. XXXX and XXXX had no problem taking this off of my report but Equifax has not. It has been well over 5 months since I began disputing this. I 've done it online, by mail and over the phone. I am also filing a report with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX because it is affecting my health, causing stress with them lying and stealing my identity for at least how long it has been on the credit report. Being on XXXX for approximately 22 years, I have had full XXXX  and XXXX insurance. I want this mark off of my credit report. If anybody can help me, please and thank you. I have tried hard to straighten my life out through my XXXX but this company continues to steal my identity through my credit rating.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax Breach. Equifax indicated that I might have been affected while my wife may not have been. We have no way to know ourselves and have zero confidence that Equifax knows. In accordance with guidance from your site, I placed credit freezes on both of our credit accounts with Equifax, XXXX and XXXX XXXX and XXXX charged me {$10.00} and {$10.00} respectively since we are residents of Texas. The net cost to us ( currently ) from Equifax 's breach is {$41.00}. I believe Equifax should be made to remburse any and all costs incurred by us to safequard our credit information due to their collosal

Complaint narrative:
Equifax exposed my personal information. It is their DUTY to protect my personal information. For the rest of my life, I will have to be concerned, anxious, troubled, perturbed, upset and distressed about my personal credit information being exposed!
Equifax is the company I am complaining about. Are credit bureaus regulated?
I work at a XXXX XXXX and we have 6 audits every year!!
Who is involved? The WHOLE COUNTRY.
What steps are the CFPB taking to control this situation and regulate the bureaus?
This is very unsettling.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Capital One closed my 360 checking account stating according to their terms and conditions they can close my account whenever they want for whatever reason. However the timing seems interesting in that I have a {$400.00} sign up bonus for their PLUS400 checking account promotion due in the next few weeks and they close my account right before payout. An absolute bait and switch here. They also closed my money market and credit cards which I have with them for many years. For {$400.00} that seemed like a desperate move. 

I filed a CFPB complaint on XX/XX/XXXX for the same issue in which the response was they never received the direct deposits required for the {$400.00} sign up bonus. However, I had direct deposits from XXXX XXXX posted shortly after account opening. The online website wo n't show my checking account history now which is super shady. I attempted to call the contact person XXXX XXXX many times but she never picked up my phone call. I do not know what has become of Capital One but I am hoping CFPB can provide justice.

Complaint narrative:
Equafax data breach! Was informed was not affected then checked again and was told my data may be part of the hack! Called and was told to fill out form for free one year insurance to help with the hacking! Then would be charged after that for the coverage! First off- I never gave anyone the ok to share/ sell my information! They were hacked and now all my personal info may be out there for anyone to use to get a mortgage, credit cards, drank loan and drivers listens and voter registration! All media and what I have read about the hack states that my information may not be use for years! Is it a scam to get people to buy this protection package after one year??? Why should we/I pay for protection when an unauthorized business that makes money off of others personal information gets hacked! Especially when the info may be stored by the hackers and used at a much later date! Where do I go and who can help? The is the big question!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of the recent Equifax credit breach. 
I have therefore already frozen my credit through all three credit reporting agencies. 
- Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I tried to get my free online credit reports from XXXX for 'all three ' reporting agencies. I did receive free online reports from XXXX and XXXX but ... NOT Equifax. 

XX/XX/XXXX Equifax did NOT provide my free online credit report and sent me to a page that says " Online Delivery Unavailable '', even though I had already answered a series of identifying questions correctly to Equifax online. 

I am entitled to a free annual credit report from Equifax via XXXX. 
Equifax needs to cooperate and give me my free annual credit report, it 's the LAW! 

Especially after the recent Equifax Data Breach, for obvious reasons I have absolutely no desire to Expose even MORE Personal Identification via means other than what I have already provided via XXXX. 
XXXX now has Equifax checked off as having given my my annual credit report ( EQUIFAX HAS NOT PROVIDED MY FREE CREDIT REPORT ). 

I need my credit report from Equifax, I am doing my part as a consumer to protect my information and trying to get my free report, Equifax is NOT doing their part!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX my husband and I filed a chapter XXXX Bankruptcy. We later withdrew our petition and the case was closed. No creditors were harmed based upon our filing and subsequent withdrawal. Since that date the XXXX credit bureaus have had a bankruptcy showing on both of our credit reports. The balance is correct at XXXX dollars but the Bankruptcy should not be showing at all. My husband and I have both disputed this information many times with no luck having it removed for me and only XXXX XXXX removed it for my husband. 
This information is a public record that can not be validated or verified by anyone in the court and therefore should not be on the credit reports. It was also withdrawn so I do not believe We should face the same consequences as a person or people who have filed and gone to discharge on their bankruptcy. This invalid information is causing us harm and making it impossible for us to move forward with our financial future. We have been denied credit repeatedly because of this bankruptcy. I believe this also should have been removed in XXXX when all credit bureaus agreed to remove public records. 
Can you please investigate this and help me get this removed from our credit reports.

Bridgecrest show up in my XXXX credit report. Now I called Bridgecrest a dozen times, to let them know that they 're not showing up in my credit report and that they have not been calling the credit bureaus to update my credit history, they keep telling me that they have been calling, well I let them know that I have talked with all three credit bureaus and they do not show up in my credit report, so a Bridgecrest representative and the manager of the credit department kept telling me to just call the credit bureaus back and ask for the supervisor, for XXXX and XXXX, not only that for some odd reason a Bridgecrest representative kept asking me to mail them my credit that I recently received in the mail. Now for XXXX, I was told by Bridgecrest credit department and more than one customer service representative, that they have not been reporting and up dating my credit history to XXXX, the reason being because XXXX have a block or lock protecting my credit report, I have to call XXXX to ask them to remove that block or lock, that 's the reason why they have not been calling XXXX to update my credit history.? So if Bridgecrest admitted that they never called XXXX to update my credit history, so how 's Bridgecrest showing up on my credit report if they never called XXXX and how XXXX getting these monthly updates? For some odd reason Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation are avoiding and evading to call XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to update my credit history. They refuse to call the credit bureaus, why?
