Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal 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 XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint:
This consumer reporting agency as defined by law has violated my rights under the FCRA for not assuring me 100 % possible maximum accuracy. Every automated complaint that comes back says items are verified when they have not done a reasonable investigation of the items in question Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681e - Compliance procedures section ( b ) says whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it follows reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates. To my understanding, the only investigation that credit reporting agencies do is a simple communication with the E oscar system to request verification. Verification could be as simple as a phone number address and name all of which are public information and is not the maximum possible accuracy which would mean that you are in violation of the FCRA. 
These are the Inaccurate tradelines that I disputed that have not been removed or investigated properly.

Complaint:
Aspire will not allow me to make a payment towards my Aspire credit card. Yes, you heard that correctly.. 
I have been in the hospital for the last 3 weeks. Returned home on XX/XX/23. My aspire credit card was set on Auto pay but the payment of {$53.00} was returned as a result of me not having access to my bank accounts due to being hospitalized. 
Therefore, today XX/XX/23, I logged into my account to cover that payment using my debit card. I received a pop up that I could no longer make online payments. 
I used the Live Chat and they could not give me a reason, just stated I had to call to make a payment. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX, just out of hospital and due to bad hearing I get a lot of anxiety trying to discuss things over the phone. Plus why would I not be allowed to make an internet payment with a DEBIT CARD. SInce those payments are processed immediately. 

Seems Aspire is trying to make it difficult to pay my account then charge me hefty late fees. 
I have had a few payments returned but always covered them. Plus Aspire sufferers ZERO harm if a payment is returned. I am the one harmed with high return fees or late fees. 

This policy Aspire has refusing to allow me to make an online payment is absolutely harmful to me, is discriminatory and violates Federal policy.
