Disappointed
May 5, 2023

They may hold your private data for seven years. It should not be this invasive to gain the data I require to begin the process of taking back what little percentage these thieves wish to give back.

Took alot of time, with no benefit to me at all. Now I have more of my data stored in yet another place where I have no control and it can be hacked without me knowing anything about it.

It is not only useless, it is dangerous and a technological waste of time. Please kill it.

It took me several hours to complete the verification process. Text message links requiring me to upload photos of my state NYS drivers license failed every time. Mind you I was using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. Not exactly a flip phone. Trying to find a way to use a computer instead was not easy to find. It took many repears and back and forths to find. An addition aggravation was having to endure a video call to show the license I just uploaded on my webcam. Which the agent couldn't make out. She then sends me the same text message links which failed last time. Only after using a zoom link was she able to read my NY License. If I were pulled over an by a live police officer they would not have had that problem. Relying on technology to handle simple transactions otherwise done in the real world without any issues is not the way to assist people seeking help. The whole process needs to be streamlined.
