Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX {$400.00} NFCU My now wife and I took a trip to XXXX as to where I would propose to her. During this time I had $ XXXX CL card with NFCU. While we were there, I made a purchase for the hotel room and all was fine, until 2 days later. We decided to stay another couple of days and I attempted to pay for my extra days .... They locked my card completely out of the blue. Because of this happening I now was stuck in XXXX with no money nor gas ... And we had our XXXX kids with us ages XXXX and XXXX. I was forced to drive to a NFCU about 2 hours away to simply provide them a picture of my ID. This happened twice in 3 months where my card was randomly locked and completely frozen. I have been receiving calls threatening to report me in an attempt to collect the debt owed on this card ... If I am correct that is not legal.

They told me would not be a hard pull. It would be a internal pull. I was denied. I then requested to speak with a supervisor as to why I was denied the supervisor told me she would look into it and inquire. I told her that was ok as long as it did not result in any form of a inquiry on my credit report. The supervisor told me there was a exception for XXXX XXXX relief victims and because I was in Florida she could submit a request for me and that it would not be a hard pull/ inquiry on my credit report. I was a XXXX XXXX victim and needed assistance so I said yes. 
The Supervisor completely assured me that it would not be a hard pull. She advised me to call back the following day at XXXX to see if the additional {$500.00} XXXX relief was provided to me. I checked my credit report today and there is a hard pull dated XXXX on all 3 bureas and it has lowered my credit score.

On my checking relationship, I was contacted by the XXXX XXXX Citibank brnach manager by telephone approximately 3 years ago. She asked if I would come visit her at the local branch and hear about Citi 's other products. I told her I was very busy, but she said if I was willing to meet with her and just listen then she would assure me to place me in the Citigold program for life, and do so with a *permanent* fee waiver. She documented this in my file. Soon after the branch closed, and fees were being assessed to my account. I called customer service and when they researchd the issued the indeed found I was correct, and credited all service fees back to me.

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized amounts were drafted from my checking account on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX both in the amount of {$1000.00} totaling {$2000.00}. The reason it went as long as it did was because I was working away from home. When I realized what was happening I contacted XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) by phone on XX/XX/XXXX and complained. I then sent a letter to them on XX/XX/XXXX explaining the situation and what had happened. I got a returned letter that said request denied.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have a chase credit card which is paid through bill pay from my chase checking account. I have the payment schedule set up to be received by the credit card on the due date. The credit card has begun to charge me late fees because I was told the payments are n't posting for 1-2 days after I the due date. These payments are supposed to be posted the same day since it is the same company. The rep from the credit card company sai I was responsible for when the payments post! The late fees were waived this time but I was told they may incur again. I feel that chase is falsely and deliberately charging late fees. If I had not questioned this the fees would not have been removed. I feel you should be aware of this because I am sure this is happening to other chase customers.

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

Complaint narrative:
Equifax did not properly secure my protected personal information from intrusion, such as through appropriate patching, 2-factor authentication at the point of service, segmentation of data, etc. As such, it appears my full name, Social Security numbers, birth date, addresses, credit cards, and possibly driver license number is cross-matched to each other and in the hands of criminals who can use this data to breach any number of accounts in perpetuity such as my banking and financial data, medical data, legal complaints, political data, and any other number of sensitive accounts.
Further, I am unable to secure these accounts because they ask for the very personal information that is breached in order to verify my identity and approve a change.
Equifax is currently offering a limited credit monitoring service. It is the onus of the victim to search out this information and service, and the service itself looks like an unreliable third-party website asking for 2/3 of one 's social security number plus last name and most importantly, a waiver of all class action recourse in order to discover if one is among the breached accounts, only changed to waive class action recourse from the third party site if it too is breached with the sensitive data it is querying once the news of this spread. This is insufficient to the need created by their negligent protection of my information, which I did not give them myself, but which they curated as their business from other businesses.
