Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have an account on my credit report that does not belong to me. My information was obtained under false pretenses.That is fraud. There is also a name and address that needs to be removed and there are unauthorized inquiries as well. I reached out to the company and I've been waiting for a response. Also there was an alert on my credit report that said on XX/XX/XXXX I opened up an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX, I opened no such account, this is fraud. I contacted the bank and they said someone in Michigan opened up a business account with my social. I made a complaint online and will be going to the bank tomorrow to make a formal complaint. These fraudulent accounts and inquiries have affected my credit report in a negative way and my credit score has been affected in a negative way as well. These accounts do not belong to me and the information they have provided has not been properly verified. This is fraud as well. If they respond saying that these accounts were verified. I would like to know how they verified these accounts. How my information was obtained. I would also like to know the name of the person who verified the information along with the the company who furnished the information to the credit bureau and legal action will be taken at that point. This is my second complaint and attempt to rectify the situation and nothing has been done. I made a complaint and that complaint was sent to the creditor and they took my address off of the complaint and updated it in their file. They were allowed to steal my address and update their information because they never had it. I have no lien against me nor have I been to court or had a judgement placed against me for any reason, so this harassment and this falsely verified account is illegal.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
XXXX claimed that XXXX XXXX XXXX reverse a fraudulent charge of {$86.00}. XXXX did not reverse the charge. I closed my XXXX card XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX placed a {$86.00}, reversal of the fraudulent charge credit XXXX granted me while XXXX investigated my claim that XXXX made this charge fraudulently. I received a letter from XXXX stating that XXXX agreed to reimburse my XXXX card for the {$86.00} Fraudulent charge. XXXX then reversed the fraudulent charge credit, placing this as a fee, on my XXXX card, even so this card was, at that time, already closed by me. XXXX claimed that the XXXX crediting my XXXX  card would take my closed XXXX  balance to XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX not credit my canceled XXXX. Prior to the " fee '' coming due, I contacted XXXX customer service ( for the fourth time on this issue ), informing them that there was a demand from XXXX for me to pay this XXXX XXXX customer service agreed with me that I will not be required to pay this fee. XXXX made negative reports to all three credit reporting agency claiming that I was first 30 days, then 60 days late in paying my XXXX card. This resulted in a substantial reduction in my credit rating. XXXX erroneously though that a {$160.00}. charge I had XXXX reverse prior to this claim satisfied my claim.

Complaint:
I previously filed a complaint about a credit card showing up on my credit report. 
XXXX XXXX says that they do not have me as an authorized user on a credit card. 

Yet, on the credit report it shows a card from XXXX XXXX indicating that I am an Authorized User. 

If XXXX XXXX states that I am not, no relation to any bank account, credit card or debit card, then there must be a reporting error? Or did they issue a card and can not close it for some odd reason? 

I want to avoid any fraudulent risks. 

If I am not an authorized user on any accounts or cards, on what basis are they reporting?
