Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a complaint to the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX. All three reporting agencies responded ; Equifax, XXXX and XXXX responded on XX/XX/XXXX, closed the complaint and did nothing. All the information listed on my consumer report was added through identity theft. 15 USC 1681B clearly states the consumer must provide written consent for anything added to their consumer report. Which means they obtained all information through identity theft because I did not give my consent. That is also a violation of 18 USC 1028A aggravated identity theft and The Privacy Act of XXXX, seeing as they shared my Social Security Number. According to 15 USC 1681C-2 the consumer reporting agencies have 4 Business days to block information resulting from alleged identity theft. It has been more than 4 days since they opened their investigation and no action has been taken.

Complaint narrative:
In accordance to the Fair Credit Reporting Act : 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 Equifax does not have my written permission to report the incomplete, inaccurate bankruptcy that they are reporting in my file. 

Equifax has falsely claimed that they received the information from XXXX. XXXX has verified they DO NOT have the bankruptcy Equifax is claiming they received from them. 

XXXX has verified that if there were a bankruptcy in my file it would be listed in the TABLE OF CONTENTS section of my XXXX report. There is not a bankruptcy listed in the Table of Contents section of my XXXX report. 

Equifax continuously reports they took steps to verify inaccurate, incomplete information but when I verify the steps with the furnisher of the information, the furnisher says they don't have the information Equifax claimed was verified with them. 

Equifax needs to be held legally accountable for their fraudulent business practices.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In a previous complaint ( XXXX ), I outlined how the Texas Higher Education Coordinating board would not let us pay ANY amount towards our principal balance until all interest was paid in full. They said this was their company policy. While I thought this practice was predatory and a little extreme, I decided to pay the full amount I owed in interest to the tune of a little over {$3700.00} on XX/XX/22. I was hoping that by doing so I could be caught up on owed interest and start paying off principal in the monthly payments. 

Unfortunately, I had another more serious problem. When I checked the balance this month on XX/XX/22, it was showing that our previous payment did NOT all go to interest as it should have. {$670.00} of it was allocated to principal, leaving {$670.00} in interest still on the account. I did not request this to do be done, nor would the provider according to THEIR OWN policy, allow principal to be paid until ALL interest was paid. And since this last payment, an additional {$220.00} in interest has been accrued, leaving the total we in interest this month at over {$850.00} dollars. 

This means that it would take an ADDITIONAL 3-4 months to pay off the interest at the minimum monthly rate because they chose to allocate some to principal without our knowledge. I called them and was asking for an answer as to why they would allocate some of our last payment to principal when they explicitly told us they would NOT do so. The lady on the line even said that it should not happen, and was not able ( or willing ) to provide me with any explanation for the action. She did say she was going to " try '' and get the {$670.00} re-allocated to interest, and that we would receive a call back at some point, but I am currently waiting on this to be done. Considering that the move would keep me paying on interest for a few additional months, and benefit the XXXX, I have a hard time believing this was not an intentional act to keep us paying on interest and getting more money. 

Either they lied to us when they said they could NOT allocate payments to principal until interest was fully paid, or they manually allocated some to principal ( WITHOUT consent or previous disclosure ) for the purpose of keeping us trapped on interest payments a little longer. Either way, I feel that this has been a huge breach of trust and is further evidence that this loan provider is acting in a predatory and fraudulent way when dealing with their customers. This is completely unacceptable for them to do this right after we make such a large payment to get rid of our owed interest.

Complaint narrative:
This is not the same complaint!!!!! PNC treats me like a unwanted consumer..I deposited a check from another account and had a colleague do the same ( his account however is always in the negative ) ..My check was placed on hold for 15 days, his was deposit in two days..I am more than sure this a prejudice issue against me as a woman and or my XXXX.. I stopped payment and closed the other account and made PNC aware more than 4 days before they processed the check, it was stopped and taken off my account, however now my account is in the negative because they have waited 5 days later and started adding fees to my account.. I reached out to that person XXXX and nothing was done.. I have been lied to repeatedly, am feeling a lack of concern for a delicate situation, and fees added upon all of this and have received no apology or no concern..The only reason I continue to keep this account is because of a family member who is no longer alive and things I have set up for the next two months, which cant be reversed..I have emailed the ceo and other executives and just like XXXX they dont care!!
