Complaint:
It has come to my attention that despite my repeated efforts to rectify this situation, these erroneous and vexatious entries continue to tarnish my credit history. This blatant disregard for accuracy and fairness on your part is completely unacceptable. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX It is my right, as a consumer, to have a fair and accurate representation of my credit history. The presence of these fraudulent accounts not only damages my financial reputation but also disrupts my ability to access credit, obtain favorable interest rates, and secure opportunities that should rightfully be available to me. Your failure to address this matter adequately has not only caused me substantial inconvenience but has also undermined the very purpose of credit reporting agencies.

I did not grant you authorization to review my credit report.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that a creditor be able to verify the written authorization of the consumer giving the creditor permission to review their credit. If you can provide a copy of a credit application authorizing the disclosure of my credit files with my signature, I will accept the inquiry. If a signed authorization can not be found please remove the inquiry from the three main credit bureaus.

The presence of this inquiry is adversely affecting my credit report and is impeding my ability to obtain necessary credit. Time is of the essence so I would greatly appreciate a response from you within thirty ( 30 ) days. 

Please mail me the copy of the signed application or a letter indicating your intention to delete the inquiry. 

Sincerely yours, _________________________________________ XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I contacted my bank over 5 times trying to describe the issues I faced and hard time stoping payments after losing my job due to covid. I also noticed that the bank had changed me a XXXX $ overdraft/return check fee for the same charge. Rather then investigating they provided me a screen shot of the times they had waved a fee. Im a customer of over 10 years and being charged over 250 $ in fees in one month and some being duplicated is not fair and I believe this banks practices have crossed several lines. Im referring to all fees from XX/XX/22 to XX/XX/22
