Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern Re : Account # 's XXXX re : last 4 of SS # XXXX re : FTC report # XXXX Please be advised in my previous letters to you, dated XX/XX/XXXX, I provided sufficient information to you requesting you to block the reported information under the provisions of FCRA XXXX, and it was NOT a dispute under the provisions of FCRA 611. The accounts were opened thru fraud. I did not benefit from this fraud. I identified the person that I believe committed this crime against me, but XXXX XXXX did not try to pursue this person of interest, or even try to protect my creditworthiness from fraud. 

This identity theft affidavit, along with other identifying information was sent to XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Experian on this date. XXXX XXXX, stated that they had performed an investigation on thi

s matter, but failed to provide any discovery of information as to why they refused to follow Federal Law. XXXX XXXX and Experian, refused and failed to block these accounts per the FCRA. Agencies must block identity-theft-related information. FACTA adds a new section, 605B, to the FCRA that requires agencies to block identity-theft related information within 4 days of receiving specified information : proof of the consumers identity, a copy of an identity theft report, the consumers identification of the fraudulent information, and the consumers statement that the information does not relate to any transaction by the consumer. The agency must also notify the furnisher of the block, and Furnishers must implement procedures to prevent them from re-furnishing such information ( to anyone, apparently, not just the notifying agency ) 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ( a ). Federal Law, was ignored by both XXXX XXXX and XXXX  and Experian. 

XXXX  XXXX turned these accounts for collection over to the law firm XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
The law firm filed lawsuits against me for collection, and won default judgments for XXXX XXXX. 


XXXX  XXXX, is still sending credit report updates on these accounts to the credit bureaus on a monthly basis and the credit bureaus are updating these accounts. XXXX XXXX and XXXX  are ruining my stellar credit rating, by posting this information. 

The law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me if XXXX XXXX and XXXX  fail to comply to Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend to turn this matter over to an attorney for review and possible legal action. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincere regards XXXX XXXX XXXX : FTC Identity Report.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/22, I alerted the consumer reporting agencies that I am a victim of identity theft. 15 USC says that you must remove and block any information from the file of a consumer that the consumer says is a result of alleged identity theft within 4 business days. It has been well beyond 4 days and the accounts remain. Also XXXX XXXX and XXXX have charged the fraud accounts off and sold them to collection companies. It is illegal for a company to report a charge off. The IRS considers this income. This is tax fraud. This is also a violation of 15 USC 1681 e b by not reporting accurate information. USC 1681 section 694 a section 2 says that you can not furnish an account without my written consent. I have not given anyone written permission.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2021, I found out my father took out a loan in my name. I began receiving notifications through my credit reporting agency that my score had been affected because of this. I reached out to the original creditor ( XXXX/Synchrony Bank for Car Care ), and the collection agency they referred the debt to, XXXX XXXX. I explained this was not my debt. My father had even admitted to the debt being his, had called XXXX XXXX directly, and signed sworn statements verifying this debt. The account was not mine, has never been mine, I do not even own a vehicle in order to take out a loan like this. Both agencies refuse to remove my name from the account. Additionally, XXXX XXXX has been calling me nonstop even after they have been told to only correspond with me via email or snail mail. I have made this request to them in writing several times, yet they continue to call me everyday.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I requested an online wire transfer payment through Bank of Americas Online Bill Pay service for my Company Credit Card on Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$1200.00}. The online page and their general credit card guidelines state that the payment will be applied within XXXX business days- which should be by XX/XX/XXXX ( Friday ). 

On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX in the morning the transfer was completed from by business checking account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, when checking the BofA Business Credit Card transactions this payment has not been posted. Upon calling BofA Customer Support they say they see the payment in Online Bill Pay but dont expect this payment to post until Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX. This is both frustrating and maddening that {$1200.00} from my business is floating in the ether and is inaccessible for my business. This is absolutely unacceptable and BofA is either incapable or uninterested in appropriately handling my business funds. As far as customer support escalations I was offered to submit my complaint via the customer feedback survey. Which has no ability to appropriately fix this lack of oversight or control of funding in a timely fashion.

Complaint:
I purchased the vehicle when I had just started my job back in 2018, working part time. I was given an astronomical rate due to being miss informed and a young minority in a desperate situation. After a few years I lost my job and was unable to regularly maintain paying my car note. Especially after I had to replace the engine within the first few days of owning the car and replace the Transmission in the first year. I contacted the creditor and informed them of my situation and they were unconcerned to say the least everytime. I was threatened with late payment and repossession. At a point my vehicle was physically taken but never repossessed. I payed the owing balance. My car was also in a auto accident that still isnt settled. So I paid my car off my self. I've disputed the multiple lates the account created I am hoping to have the account totally removed from my credit history due to the misreporting of information.

Complaint:
I just noticed on my recent XXXX  credit report and also when I pulled my credit on XXXX XXXX that XXXX XXXX XXXX is NOT reporting my paid loan which I have had with them and paid on time for three years now!!! They were reporting it!!! This is causing my credit score to drop as it looks like I have only had credit established for a year and a half which is untrue and it is also pulling my score down due to looking like I don't have a auto loan plus my perfect pay history for this amount of time is also pulling my score down, which is causing me to have to borrow at subprime rates when I have paid perfectly for most of my life!!!!! 

I am going to sue them and all of the credit reporting agencies and WILL contact XXXX XXXX to help me do so if they don't get my accounts corrected NOW and going forward!!! it is the CFPB 's job to make sure they are all reporting correctly and if they do not to sue them themselves and fine them for breaking the FCRA!!!! FIX MY REPORTS and sent me a physical copy of each report from XXXX, Experian and XXXX  showing all is correct as well as a copy to the CFPB for my file with them, do not close this complaint until all is correct!!!!!! This will be the last car loan I will take out with XXXX XXXX XXXX due to all of the problems associated with it too!!! I want the credit reporting agencies held accountable for their mistakes as well, financially!!!!!

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX. Fraud early warning system went into effect and blocked an important purchase I was attempting to make in the amount of {$1800.00}. All three representatives I spoke to including a supervisor refused to lift the block on the account despite having provided them with the correct account information and security questions information. The supervisor even said 'he didn't blame me ' when I told him that I would be reporting Citibank to the CFPB. This company is deplorable with the worst and most antiquated policies. Phone numbers should not be the only means of determining card ownership. I am tired of going through this with them. I want the credit score restored from the time before they pulled a credit check in XX/XX/XXXX. I hate this company and want my credit restored at once.
