Pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ) Any authorization or approval of a specific extentension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device should be excluded from a consumer report.

I value your help to REMOVED a portion of the data in my credit file that came about because of FRAUD yet I have an item passed on that should be taken out or blocked. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider you responsible for your tenacious rebelliousness.

Complaint:
I closed my checking account with this bank last year and made sure the account was closed with a {$0.00} balance. I 'm now seeing that they are reporting a charge off amount for the account! Nothing was owed to them and they would n't even let me close the account with funds still in the account which had to be withdrawn or spent, so how is it possible to charge off an account that was  MY mo ney??? Not only that, but since the account has been " charged off '' the balance is continuing to increase. Also, this same bank pulled my credit as a hard inquiry in  XXXX  of   XXXX  , even though I do n't have any accounts with them or ever gave them permission to run my credit.I live in a state that this bank is n't even in and have no need for their services so I would n't have been looking to take a loan out with them.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I payed two mortgage payments in XX/XX/2019. The mortgage company withheld my payments for two months refused to apply them to my mortgage for two months. I payed the current month in XXXX and made sure they released the previous payments to go towards my mortgage. I was told to pay a lessors amount for XXXX payment because I was told their was an overage. I payed the lessor amount. I sent in XXXX payment but the mortgage company sent it back. When I called the mortgage company I was told that they never received XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX payment. I tried again to pay XXXX and XXXX payment but they refused to accept payment. I requested assistance for help. I was told they would send me out a packet. I submitted the packet for assistance. I never received a response back. After reaching out to Loancare about assistance and inquiring about the paperwork I submitted, I was lied to and misinformed about someone working on my file. No one was working on my file. It never happened. I called several more times and was told they needed to submit a hardship letter and pay stubs. I submitted this as well but still no response. Finally I reached out again last week and was told they could not help me because my last modification was less than 24 months ago. Again I tried to make the payments and was told that I had to make four payments. I called back today and was told the same thing basically. I was told that they were aware that I made my XXXX payment but it was put towards escrow not my XXXX payment. Which meant I owed for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and now XXXX. They refused to take anything less and stated they could not help me. I informed them that I had partial payment but could not pay all four months due to the cut back in hours at work from the Pandemic. No further assistance was offered just that he will make a note of our conversation.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Complaint:
In my last complaint, I submitted a request to block accounts on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo XXXX regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per XXXX and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint:
Called Truist as to why they charged {$3.00} on my business checking account. It showed as force pay debit. I received no letter with explanation. They could not tell on their side that it was a bank assessing the fee and had me on hold for 2 hrs with the fraud department and then they just asked me at the end to go to a branch. I still do not know true issue. They didnt tell me what the {$3.00} was for and would not confirm on the phone if it was a fee from the bank.

It appears that my credit with you has been compromised. I was going through my records & noticed many files which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. If you feel there is a possibility these items belong to me, I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research items I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that these items are 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the items are verified, please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC began to harass me regarding a debt owed. They issued a garnishment XX/XX/XXXX of {$970.00} plus fees. My wages were garnished and the amount was paid in full. As of XX/XX/XXXX, Portfolio Recovery issued a second garnishment for the exact same case. After contacting them, their representatives stated that they don't know what the problem or disconnect is and they are looking into it. Unfortunately, I never heard back from anyone. Every time I call I get a new person who don't know whats going on. I have proof from my employer of my deductions taken from my wages. I can't sit and hope Portfolio Recovery figures it out since my wages are being garnished a second time. I'm looking into legal advice and I would like to file a compliant against Portfolio Recovery Associates not only for the mistake but for emotional and financial hardship they have caused. Their negligence is inexcusable.
