I have been having several issues with Equifax. I was recently doing some business with my bank when they told me they were unable to access my credit information because of a security alert that was placed on my account. I was aware of the alert because I placed it owing to the incident where customers information was compromised from the database of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I placed the alert in XXXX of this year and know that it should automatically be lifted in XXXX. However, I was not sure of the date that it would be lifted. I called Equifax and asked them to remove the alert from my account. The representative said she did n't see one and would speak with her superior. I waited to have this person come to say that she would be able to issue a credit report and resolve the issue ONLY if I sent in my driver 's license and social security card. I told them by doing so, my right to privacy would be violated and I will not send to them such personal information. She said she would not be able to speak with me further. After getting off the phone with Equifax , I decided to call XXXX, the representative there said they would only ask a few questions from my history to confirm my identity then they would remove the alert on my behalf. They did. On XXXX XXXX, I decided to compare my XXXX credit reports on XXXX XXXX. I saw that Equifax has given me a a lower score as compared to the other XXXX Bureaus. On the report, it showed that I have had only XXXX credit inquiry for this year. Equifax listed that I had XXXX. When I checked the details of that, it showed an Inquiry from " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ... XXXX hard inquiries from XXXX institution, XXXX days in a row. I called Equifax to resolve the issue, again they said they will not speak to me until I send my Driver 's License and Social Security card to them. I do not plan to send any type of personal and sensitive information to them. I consider such request to be a violation of my rights and privacy and I do not wish to comply to those terms. Furthermore, that information is not required from others living here in the United States and I can not see why I am being singled out. This is my XXXX year living in the United States, I had been granted citizenship in XXXX of this year, I have worked very hard to build my reputation and my credit for the few years that I have lived here. I do not purchase the things that I can not afford and I remain satisfied with what I have worked for but I believe that Equifax is trying very hard to sabotage me and many other persons here in the U.S. because of their careless and nonchalant tactics in credit reporting. I must also add that Equifax has refused to give me my free credit report for this year. Any assistance from your entity to resolve my issue with Equifax would be greatly appreciated.
