Complaint:
This is my Fourth attempt to receive from you the requested original signed agreement of a disputed 8-year old account [ XXXX XXXX ], letter dated XX/XX/2018. It is my understanding that I have a right to see the original signed documents of this accountnot statements, letters from the creditor or any other document that is not the signed agreement between me and the creditor ; only that document can prove fraud or ownership. 
In addition, I have repeatedly asked for this information to be mailed to my correct address as stated above. I have yet to receive any of what I have asked for, in previous communications I have proven my New York address of nearly 20 years. 
Based on several credit-pulls across all the bureaus, at least two creditorsit appears XXXX is oneis updating their accounts to mirror present day profiles in an effort to legitimize their claims, the second creditor has already been removed. The type of credit cards that are said to be mine are cards that earn frequent flyer miles and/or cash back. The very first card like those I applied for, received, and owned is my XXXX XXXX card 2-years ago. Any creditor claiming that I owned any such card more than two years ago and is NOT XXXX ; is creating and/or updating accounts to reflect my very recent credit profile. Creditors engaged in this type of behavior convey the fact that they did not meet the legal requirements for verification. 
As this is my fourth attempt I will be submitting another grievance to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection/ FTC-FCRA, to lay the groundwork for later legal actionif necessary. All I want is the original signed agreementthe signature, handwriting, and information entered can easily prove fraud or ownership. 
My next step will have to be to seek legal representation on this matter. Please attain the requested documents or remove this account and send an updated copy of my credit report and all responses to my request to the above addressthe only accurate address, thank you.

Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I received an attractive offer for a Chase XXXX XXXX credit card ( please see the first page of the attachment ). I applied for the card, but Chase rejected my application. The rejection letter, dated XX/XX/XXXX stated Too many credit cards opened in the last two years associated with you ( please see the second page of the attachment ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote CHASE and asked two straightforward questions ( please see the third page of the attachment ) : -WHAT IS, BY CHASE REGULATIONS, THE ALLOWED NUMBER OF CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTS THAT I CAN OPEN IN TOO YEARS? 
-WHAT IS, ACCORDING TO YOUR INFORMATION, THE NUMBER OF CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTS OPENED BY ME IN THE LAST TWO YEARS? 
I need this information to know when I can apply for another card, and check the data used by CHASE to make the rejection decision. CHASE failed to answer my questions and rejected again my application ( please see page four of the attachment ). 
In the rejection letter CHASE also stated information from XXXX was used. I contacted XXXX   and found out the following : The credit score range is 300 850. My credit score is excellent, XXXX! Also, I always paid my credit cards and mortgage on time. 
In addition, I have a CHASE Freedom credit card, since XX/XX/XXXX. CHASE sent me numerous other offers, for loans, and bank accounts. CHASE even asked me to advertise their credit cards to friends ( I did that, and received some extra points for an approved account ). 
Please note, in XX/XX/XXXX CHASE rejected my application for a XXXX XXXX credit card under the same pretext. As a consequence, I believe there is a clear pattern, CHASE declines applications because it does not want to honor the bonuses. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CO XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
It is EXPERIANs duty pursuant to the FCRA to be reporting correct and accurate information on my credit report and file, however they are NOT. EXPERIAN is reporting 6 inaccurate late payments for the XXXX XXXX account beginning in XXXX. These include a 30 day late payment posted in XXXX XXXX 120 day late payment posted in XXXX XXXX, 120 day late payment posted in XXXX XXXX, 90 day late payment posted in XXXX XXXX, 60 day late payment posted in XX/XX/2021, and 30 day late payment posted in XX/XX/2021. These are incorrect and supposed to be reported as PAID AS AGREED. Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a consumer report does NOT contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. A transaction constitutes these late payments resulting in EXPERIAN violating my federally protected consumer rights. To add to this, I did NOT give EXPERIAN written instruction/permission to furnish these inaccurate late payments on my consumer report or file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ). It is clear that EXPERIAN has violated my federally protected consumer rights under the FCRA and the inaccurate reporting is causing me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination.

Complaint:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous XXXX  and financial XXXX preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.
