Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is about the Bank of America and our billing dispute for {$62.00} for the company called XXXX and XXXX ( the 2 companies are now one ). The XXXX XXXX Deals, sold and advertised directly on their site are special promotions, generally at about 50 % off and they must be pre-paid by credit card. Their ads are savvy and enticing, and they must be pre-paid! 

They entice consumers to try merchants who they might not know about, which is great for the merchants. I only contacted XXXX XXXX ( a home XXXX XXXX XXXX ) because of this XXXX XXXX Deal, and when they came, instead of honoring our pre-paid Certificate, we had to write a check for {$160.00}, so we did pay double and we WILL NOT do business with XXXX XXXX or XXXX ( XXXX recently bought their competitor XXXX XXXX ). We ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX were really angry and upset that we were " taken to the cleaners " by XXXX XXXX. 

SInce XXXX XXXX, XXXX, when our billing dispute began, Bank of America has repeatedly asked us to send in dispute forms ( duplicate request -- all 3 disputes the same because they are not understanding ) ... and we also have sent proof of duplicate payments 3 times now, and are dragging their feet on honoring our card-member agreement and somehow act as though, they want to close the dispute, falsely claiming that I have not sent enough proof that even with a PAID CHECK ( BOTH SIDES ) I re-send this to them today by mail, because BOA wants to believe whatever lies XXXX XXXX is telling them, in response to our billing dispute on our Bank of America visa for {$62.00} because their Service provider, XXXX XXXX when they came to our home for our appointment on XXXX XXXX XXXX, REFUSED to honor our XXXX XXXX deal that we bought just 10 days earlier. ( PLEASE SEE ATTACHED ALL DOCUMENTS AND PAYMENTS ). 

The problem at XXXX XXXX/ XXXX is they do not offer customer service. We do know how to read and understand all terms and when you have a problem, they are not customer service oriented the way they used to be, their " ONLINE CHAT "  system at XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX website is time consuming and they aregue down their customers with an " upside down " customer service policy that promotes this type of Fraud & Abuse. 

Further, BOA, Bank of America, seems most interested in protecting the GIANT company, ( XXXX ) rather than their consumers. 
We want the CFPB and the FTC to investigate BOTH Bank of America and also XXXX XXXX / XXXX for FALSE ADVERTISING/ DECEPTIVE advertising policies and other violations of Federal law that protects consumers from FRAUD.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Equifax, according to their own research, allowed the unauthorized access to my personal credit data to occur from mid-XXXX through XXXX XXXX. 

The information disclosed included all or some of the following : my name, Social Security number, birth date, addresses, drivers license number, credit card numbers, and dispute documents including personally identifiable information. 

Criminals now have access to all information required to establish credit under my identity. As the information disclosed is in digital form, it is trivial to share and re-share my personal information. 

Equifax 's failure to meet their fiduciary duty to protect my information exposes me to a lifetime of elevated identity theft risk.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Trying to do a credit freeze on all the credit reporting agencies due to the Equifax fiasco. Am being told there is a {$5.00} charge to freeze/unfreeze an account in Arizona at all three agencies. This is outrageous. Have already contacted the Arizona Governor, the  Attorney General, and all my legislators about having this regulation for fees rescinded. Three legislators have called me back and I am being told they will not be able to introduce any bills till after the new state session starts in XXXX. 

Citizens should not have to pay any fees for this freeze service. The credit agencies make enough money already and do n't need to subject us to more payments while we try to mitigate this disaster.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Equifax was subject to a security breach from XXXX through XXXX this year, in which hackers were able to access people 's SSNs, birthdates, addresses, and other personal information, including mine. Equifax did not notify the public until XXXX. Upon publicly announcing the breach, they set up a website that they claimed would tell consumers if their information had been accessed or not ; when I tried to use the site, I was given no clear yes or no answer, but instead given a date for which I would be eligible to enroll in Equifax 's TrustedID program ( which I did not want to enroll in, nor did I agree to enroll in ). It was later pointed out that the website 's FAQ appeared to state that by using the site, consumers waived their right to sue. Equifax did not clarify that this was not what they meant until after it was pointed out that this was not legal.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
I called XXXX today ( X/XX/17 ) to place an initial 90 day fraud alert on my credit. Many people are taking advantage of this service following the recent Equifax hacks, and many more should be. This fraud alert is a free service that notifies you when someone tries to pull your credit info anytime in the next 90 days. The credit reporting service you call is apparently legally required to offer this and make sure that the other two services follow suit. 

Before you have the option to actually have your fraud alert set up, you need to decline two detailed pitches for their premier $ XXXX/mo credit monitoring service. This premier service they are describing sounds a XXXX of a lot like the free service they know you are calling about. The difference between these services was obvious to me but it may not be obvious to others, especially if they are panicked trying to protect their information. I understand a company exists to make money, but this is n't your typical company- these people control your most important, valuable and private information and you have no say in the matter. After a huge data breach from Equifax, these guys are trying to hawk some premier paid service to people who are taking proactive steps to protect their information before this happens again to the other two services. It may not be illegal but in my opinion it 's shady and blurs the line between service and profit. I would like to see XXXX offering this service elsewhere, not as a roadblock in front of this critical free service needed to protect your identity.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Following the XXXX hack, TransUnion has concealed the option to freeze my account and placed it at the bottom of the web page. In addition, I find it unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did n't consent to my information being stored by XXXX, XXXX, or TransUnion in the first place. Congress should make credit freezes and unfreezes free federally. Credit reporting agencies already make money off of my information and I should not be required to pay them additional money to protect my information, especially when they are doing a POOR job in the first place. Thank you for taking time to read my complaint.

Product: Debt collection — Private student loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Navient is reporting one private student loan to the three credit bureaus as a " charge off '' with a balance and an amount past due when it can not report this way. Furthermore, they have attempted to have three different collection agencies collect from me even after repeated written requests to Navient and each agency ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) for debt validation. None of the companies have provided debt validation or accurate reporting of supposed debt and yet Navient continues to attempt collection and report the debt. I am requesting a full deletion of this account from all three credit bureaus for the aforementioned reasons. I am requesting that they cease any and all communications or attempts at collecting a debt that has not been properly validated or reported.
Furthermore, there are two other private student loans that they report as joint with XXXX XXXX. They are reporting these inaccurately and have also failed to provide debt validation or accurate reporting of supposed debt. I am requesting that they cease any and all communications or attempts at collecting these debts that have not been properly validated or reported. I am requesting a full deletion of both of these accounts from all three credit bureaus for the aforementioned reasons.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint on XX/XX/XXXX against National Credit Systems for trying to collect on a debt that I do not owe. The collection company is alleging that I owe a debt that they are collecting on. I have disputed it several times but they keep verifying it. I requested debt validation and they sent me a statement. A statement is not debt validation. I requested a signed contract or legal document with my signature stating that I agree to pay their company.
When they responded to my previous dispute, they stated that the property manager emailed them and said that I was an applicant and that I placed a stop payment on the checks that I allegedly paid with. I believe that information is false. Their response also " respectfully requests the XXXX XXXX sends them additional information so that they can do further research ''. I know no one by that name and believe that their response was a blanket response to their complaints.
On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, I went to the said property and spoke with XXXX. She searched their system and could not find a XXXX XXXX as an applicant or a resident. Her number is XXXX and fax # XXXX.
