Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I have received a phone call from Commenity Bank every day and they have filled my inbox with voicemails stating my issue has reached an escalated status over the last few months despite when I mailed them and requested specifically written communication exclusively. I requested a copy of the last billing statement from the original creditor, proof of a debt I owe, copies of purchase orders/delivery slips/etc., any late fees that were incurred, and the license number and holder name for the debt collection company. I only received printed pages from the original creditors website with the total amount owed. I've called the company and informed them I've been a victim of identity theft and this account is fraudulent and they have taken no actions to assist in any investigation or dispute. I'm now filing this complaint per the suggestion of my lawyer.

Issue: Fees or interest

Complaint:
Was charged an annual fee that accrued interest charges. I called and paid the entire amount and wanted to cancel the card but was told I have to call back. I called back and eventually cancelled the card. After the card was cancelled, I received a bill for {$2.00} dollars. By the time I called the charge increased to {$4.00}, then XXXX although my balance is {$0.00} ( I had cancelled the cars and had not used it ). So I called and then asked why am I being charged these fees. I was told Macys does not apply payments until two billing cycles have passed. How can that be? I paid the {$8.00} amount which should have put my account at XXXX. However, today I received a Macys bill showing I owe {$2.00}. How can this be? 

Please help! This is disgusting, predatory and unethical. I am attaching my latest bill.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
Hello- I recently submitting identical documentation lists ( social security cards, birth certificates, drivers license, marriage certificate ) to all three credit bureaus ( XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX and XXXX ) to initiate security freezes for my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX All the documentation that I submitted was accurate, including the spelling of names. Even with a cover letter and list of accurate documentation, the responses I received from two of the three bureaus contained errors or issues. 

From TransUnion, the XXXX XXXX XXXX was correctly created for both minor accounts, but the response letter for XXXX XXXX  has our last name misspelled ( XXXX ) instead of the correct spelling ( XXXX ). Therefore, I assume that the very first record in my minor son 's credit report has his last name misspelled. I attempted to call TransUnion to correct the issue, but doing a phone transfer I was disconnected. I did not try again. 

For XXXX, everything appears to have been completed accurately for both sons with complete names. 

For XXXX, the security freeze was correctly created for XXXX XXXX, but the response letter for my other son states that " we were unable to locate a credit file for you for one of the following reasons : - You have not applied for credit recently- You have not actively used credit in the past XXXX years, or - You have not lived in the United States or have not been issued a U.S. Social Security Number ''. 

And, the XXXX response letter addressed to me did not capitalize my first or last name. 

It is very disturbing that these three credit bureaus are in charge of managing all of our personal data, yet they can not manage to accurately create a credit freeze on a minor account. The lack of attention to detail is terrible.
