Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
There are two accounts and some inquiries on my report that after contacting the company and trying to get more information they were unable/refused to give me info to verify the account because whoever set up the account used information that I don't know outside of my personal information so they said i had to file a ftc report XXXX Not sure how its to protect me if I am telling them that I am me and i never set the accounts up. I have attached a copy of the Identity Theft report as well as copy of my ID. The car dealer ran my credit multiple times without my consent, see below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquired on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX ran my credit on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX inquiry on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX inquiry on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  inquiry on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquiry on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX XXXX XXXX inquiry on XX/XX/2022 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX inquiry on XX/XX/2022 ; XXXX inquiry on XX/XX/2022 The only thing that makes sense is someone at the lending company misused my info because I was preapproved when i purchased my home so I never gave my info to have them to check for financing. When I called the lender they confirmed they never tried to run my credit because I had a preapproval that covered the cost of the home. With that being said, inquiry law that applies here is 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) ( i ) ( 3 ) To credit reporting agency The inquiry was not authorized. Did not consent to unauthorized inquiry.

Complaint:
I had an opened dispute with Citibank for the charges {$4000.00} from the merchant XXXX XXXX XXXX back on XX/XX/XXXX. And I had multiple supporting documents where it shows this company is scam and they were selling defected and wrong product. Citibank had all my supporting documents and all these months I was hoping they will resolve this fraudulent charge and they will credit back the amount to my account but after 8 months dealing this problem with merchant and with Citibank I got a letter from Citibank on XX/XX/XXXX where it says they are closing the dispute and I'm responsible for this charges. 

Me and my sister had the same problem with the same merchant and my sister had a XXXX XXXX account and she opened the dispute with her bank at the same time as i did and we both had the same supporting documents and proofs, she got her money back already a long time ago and her case was closed in her favor but my bank, Citibank, within these 8 months didn't give me any reasonable explanation why they couldn't resolve this issue in my favor. 

Please investigate this matter and if you need any additional information please contact me at XXXX. 


Attached you'll see all supporting documents for this transaction.

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 4-5 months.

Complaint:
I have contacted Experian twice asking for investigation on a credit account appearing on my credit report twice from XXXX XXXX. After two rounds of disputes sent to Experian the account keeps coming back verified with several late payments which is incorrect. These late payments from XXXX XXXX continues to report negative which is costing me thousand of dollars in interest. I personally called XXXX XXXX and provided my name and social and there is NO account listed under my name or social. I have asked for this account to be deleted from my credit file as this account is being listed twice resulting in 12 late payments per account. Experian hasn't properly verified this account and continues to remain on my file.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Commonwealth Financial Systems Inc. is reporting an outstanding collections account in the amount of {$1000.00} on my credit reports. Not only do I not owe this amount in medical debt, after researching, I found that this company is violating Texas ' Licensing Requirements. I have attached a screenshot of the company 's license info that I've retrieved from the Texas Secretary of State Debt Collector Search. I would like this debt removed from all of my credit reports with all three credit bureaus immediately. I would also like to be updated on this process. This debt is not only a violation, it should not be on my credit report. On the date of service, I was covered medically under XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  Military Insurance ) insurance and I provided this information at this time. XXXX was never billed by the provider. This is a provider error and has wrongfully been placed in collections. The date of service has reached 7 years and is too old to be on my credit report as well.
