Complaint:
Dear Sir or Madam, My name is XXXX XXXX, I have a credit card account with Citi card for over 10 years. I always make my payment on time. Due to COVID-19, I received my statement late because New York City was shut down with limited services. 

I contacted Citi card to requested to waive a {$29.00} late fee however they can not waive it with no concrete reason. I think this is unfair. 

I was able to pay my bill during the pandemic. I wasn't asking for an extension, I was asking for a late fee to be wave. 

I need your help in getting Citi card to waive the late fee. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 60 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

Complaint:
Mailed letters on XX/XX/2023, XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023 to dispute inaccuracies on my account and each time I was mailed a stall letter saying they fell someone else as sent my information. This is a direct violation of the FCRA. 

Additionally there is NO law that states a consumer can not use a third party, so using that as your excuse is a irrelevant. In fact, the United States Congress has found the whole process so overwhelming that they afford consumers the right to use a third party on their behalf if the consumer so chooses. This is why your statement is so shameful. 

I reserve the right to sue a credit bureau for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I believe I can prove that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process even further. 
I realize disputes can be expensive and it is your job to stall them, but you do so at great risk. Please take notice that this complaint is a formal notice to you that I am requesting that you continue forward with my original investigation request and please send the results to me within 15 days. I therefore legally and lawfully refuse your " form letter '' thus giving you only 15 days not 30 more.

I am annoyed and outraged at your accusation and I have researched my rights in regards to my credit file. Please expedite my original request immediately. 
Sincerely

Complaint:
Greetings! I am presenting this complaint for 11th time to dispute the fraudulent items on my credit record. I insist immediate removal of these items from my credit report. According to Section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is the duty of the credit bureaus to ensure the accuracy of the information they furnish. These fraudulent items are evidently inaccurate and are detrimentally affecting my creditworthiness. I have already provided all necessary documentation to establish the fraudulent nature of these items. Furthermore, I have formally requested the responsible creditors to investigate these fraudulent items and REMOVE them from my credit reports. Despite my proactive efforts, these fraudulent entries persist on my credit report, causing substantial distress and financial hardship. This is unacceptable and a clear violation of my rights under the FCRA. I demand to the XXXX, Equifax and XXXX Credit Bureaus to remove these fraudulent items from my credit report expeditely, and provide me with a written confirmation of the removal. Failure to adhere with this request will compel me to pursue legal action, as I will not tolerate any further damage to my creditworthiness : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, AL XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$32000.00} EQUIFAX : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$32000.00} ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX  ) XXXX Balance : {$180.00} XXXX : XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1400.00XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$2400.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$25000.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$3100.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$500.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$1000.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$31000.00}

On XX/XX/XXXX i received an email from my auto loan and a personal loan that i had missed a payment. My payments are automatically deducted from my Flagstar Checking account. I logged onto my Flagstar online account and it said i didn't have any active accounts associated with my name. I went that same day to my local branch and they informed me that all of my accounts had been closed on XX/XX/XXXX. They said that cashiers checks were mailed to my old address that i haven't lived in for over 3 years. The Flagstar representative called multiple people and they said they couldn't tell me why or how to get my money. Finally she said there is a number at the bank, that they can only leave a voicemail to and someone would call her back. I went back on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and they said no one had called them back. They left voicemails both of those days as well. I went back there today XX/XX/XXXX and they said they hadn't heard anything and didn't know what to do.

Complaint:
As always it's always something with experian and my credit report. I'd like to view my report, not have to send in a request. There's always a roadblock to my report and it's beyond annoying. Experian also has a security answer question wrong related to my previous vehicle stating it was purchased in XXXX. This is incorrect information and it has caused me to fail the security question numerous of times. There's absolutely no way to speak directly to a human because they've blocked access. I want to view my report online, i'm XXXX and not able to go to a post office to send off the request. I tried requesting the annual free credit report on the website. I'm also not able to freeze or unfreeze my report. They have forced us to use creditworks. With creditworks they're able to hide their marketing behind this service. They send out alerts that we can not opt out of, useless alerts.
