Consumer Narrative
Im part of the XXXX data breach along with many millions of others, I did get a small check recently, when I learned I was affected, it was right after it was announced, XXXX didn't report anything lost.. I had some credit card debt and huge APR loan appear I believe due to data breach, my main email and SSN was stolen. Also my credit report is blank but when I see the score and items listed anywhere else, it's a mess.. I'm including screenshots I tried to last time and they would not upload and without those its hard to understand why. This is the from the first complaint I didn't have documents, they wouldn't upload. ref # XXXX
