Consumer Complaint: Equifax admitted to a data breach an confirmed my information was in fact compromised in this breach. They have yet to provide compensation for the neglectful practices of their organization. They also have the audacity to request proof of hours spent dealing with this matter when there is no possible way to keep track of that as the breach happens a few years ago and we are just being notified as of recently. With that said the fraud found on my credit report could in fact be becof this breach but the bigger matter at hand is that my info was in fact confirmed to be breached which is a violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Federal Computer and Abuse Act just to name a few. Being this organization has my full name, date of birth, social security number, address, and my entire credit profile my identity in its entirety has been placed at stake. There have been several items on my credit report that reported negatively that I have since been able to remove that I believe were related to this breach. This has caused me and my family so much distress and humiliation along with XXXX because of denials due to items reporting negatively which were mind. Now I have undue stress because XXXX random person has ALL MY INFORMATION. I have to constant worry about my identity being stolen and my information being used. There is no timeframe on this matter because my social security number will never change, my date of birth will never change, and as of now I have no intention on my address changing. This means this information can be used anytime now or in the future leaving me vulnerable to being a victim of ideas theft.
