Complaint:
I am sending this over because there are fraudulent accounts on my credit report. These accounts do not belong to me ; therefore, they should not be on my file. Attached you will find a copy of the claim from the Federal Trade Commission along with a copy of my license. Please remove these accounts as soon as possible. Pursuant to 15 USC 1681 c-2 subsection ( a ) you have 4 business days to block this information from my file. This request was NOT made in error. I, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, also did not give your credit reporting agency written instructions to include this fraudulent information in my consumer report. Which is in violation of 15 USC 1681b- ( a ) ( 2 ). 

... ... deleted the account due to the inability to verify that the information on the account is mine and accurate, yet this account is still reporting to my credit report from your company. As stated in my last letter I am a victim of identity theft, and this was reported to the Federal Trade Commission. It is to my understanding that the creditors are required to report the same information to all three credit bureaus as written under the FCRA. As a consumer I request that you provide in FULL DETAIL the procedure that was used to investigate these fraudulent accounts. If you can not do so please block and remove this account from my credit report as soon as possible.

Complaint:
In an infuriating ordeal, I uncovered the theft of my identity, a violation that left me seething with anger. In response, I diligently filed an FTC identity theft report and painstakingly compiled a detailed police report, expecting decisive action from the credit bureaus. Yet, their astonishing indifference knows no bounds. They not only callously brushed aside my FTC report but also callously disregarded the comprehensive police report I provided, as if my ordeal were nothing more than an inconvenience. To add insult to injury, they couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge my arbitration attempts, sent via priority mail, leaving me incensed. This infuriating ordeal underscores a dire need for an overhaul within the credit reporting industry, demanding rigorous regulations and unwavering accountability to protect consumers like me from the soul-crushing consequences of identity theft. Until these abhorrent issues are remedied, countless victims will continue to suffer while the institutions purportedly safeguarding them demonstrate a shocking apathy towards their plight. 

i am seeking {$2000.00} per violation since it has been 90+ days I have been contacting and submitting the correct information to each credit bureau . ALL 3 Bureaus are in negligent violation of idenity theft standards and regulations according to the FCRA

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
I opened a Regions checking account around XXXX last year, during the process I mentioned the personal banker who was assisting me in opening the account specifically if I would qualify for the {$200.00} incentive plus the {$50.00} referral bonus from being referred with my Individual Tax Payer Identification Number aka ITIN. She proceeded to ask her manager, she came back and said YES! You will qualify for the incentives plus the referral bonus with an ITIN. 
Months passed and I noticed under their OfferTracker website all the requirements were met except one saying the following : Valid TAX ID Required : NO I called the bank and asked why my bonus hasn't posted yet after meeting all the requirements, after multiple attempts with different representatives/managers they kept saying I did not qualify solely for the reason of not having Social Security Number ( SSN ) and that the system can not generate a form 1099. 

What I have explained to them at the branch, during a phone call, and thru social media : 1 ) When I opened the account the banker told me I will qualify for those incentives with my ITIN. 
2 ) A form 1099 can be generated using my ITIN, and that is the actual purpose of having an ITIN, to be able to report taxes in the US. 
3 ) OfferTracker website indicates " Valid TAX ID Required '' and an ITIN or SSN are both VALID TAX ID. 
4 ) No description about saying SSN is required in the fine print for both the {$200.00} Incentive or {$50.00} rewards gift card for the referral program. 

I have not given any solution to this, and also the Regions bank are not willing to help.

I never agreed with that and I never bought a car from them.

Complaint:
Last XXXX XXXX, 2017, I sent this credit repository a letter requesting an investigation on incorrectly reported items on my credit report. Attached to this complaint is a copy of the letter sent to this credit repository dated XXXX XXXX, 2017. I have written several letters to each of the company showing on my credit report requesting for validation and I never received any proper validation document. How can this credit repository report or inform me that these items I disputed were verified when I never received any validation document? It is quite unfair and unlawful for them to be able to verify these items when I do n't receive validation documents on my end. I think this is definitely a violation of FCRA and FDCPA.

I contacted Equifax disputing an unauthorized inquiry on my report due to fraudlent activity. This call was placed XX/XX/XXXX. 

I was instructed to contact the FTC to file a report which I did and forwarded to Equifax I complted that task XX/XX/XXXX. 

I sent a copy of the letter with a copy of my CDL and copy of my social security card.

I contacted Equifax when I discovered that 2 of the inquiries were removed but not the third. XX/XX/XXXX I made that call. 
I called to times after and was told that I would take up to 30 days. 

My most recent call on XX/XX/XXXX I was told that the inquiry would not be removed because I didnt send a copy of my cdl and social security card which was false. 

I then decided to mail a cover letter, copy of the FTC report, copy of CDL and social security card again on XX/XX/XXXX and I sent this overnight and was received XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX 

Also included the FCRA requirements for the removal of this inquiry within the 4 business days outlined in : Please block and remove all information resulting from Identity Theft pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. & 1681 c-2 ) which states that these accounts must be removed within 4 Business Days of receipt.
