I. Introduction : I hereby submit a formal complaint against XXXX for XXXX discrimination , retaliation, bank fraud, wire fraud, and violations of the RICO Act, infringing upon my rights under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other pertinent federal laws.

XXXX XXXX Discrimination : XXXX AND XXXX has not only failed to unlock my credit report despite numerous requests but also appears to be discriminating against me based on my race, violating the ECOA.
