Experian and XXXX both received my complaint on XX/XX/2022. I also asked the consumer reporting agencies to block and remove this account from my consumer report. XXXX has since removed this account from my report. Experian has not. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 - Block of information resulting from identity theft ( a ) Block Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of 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 have sent all of that and Experian has not removed this account from my consumer report as of XX/XX/2022. It's just showing account is under dispute. Remove this account.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I have received my credit report which suggests that I may have owed you something in the past or present. However, there is no evidence to support your claim, so I request that you dismiss all claims and remove any harmful reports against me. Specifically, I request that you remove any current reported items that are potentially lacking mandatory physical document evidence to verify the truth and accuracy of the claim, as well as any evidence of compliance with the certified Metro 2 format reporting standards.

I would like to make it clear that I am aware that you can not force me to interact with you in any way without legal authority or a written agreement between us. If you continue to harm me, it will be considered harassment or even extortion, which is a criminal offense in my state of residence. Any such behavior will compel me to take appropriate legal action. Therefore, I request that you rectify any fraudulent or deceptive practices related to my current consumer credit profile history by removing any delinquent reported items.

They recently used credit card utilization to diminish my score and have in the past, also removing and adding a derogatory remark multiple times and then I was forced to call this company and pay them half of the balance to stop reporting it even after claiming this wasnt my account this was XXXX XXXX, and equifax they locked my account and caused multiple hard inquiries on my report after trying for a mortgage I I asked why my account was locked they said I requested it and when I said that I didnt and asked for proof and dates of me doing this and they couldnt give it to me, multiple times I tried to contact them I gave them all my information including new information about my loans and still couldnt verify my identity even though I gave them enough information to steal my identity, so I was forced to mail in paperwork, I cant stand talking to either bureaus because they dont even speak XXXX Im over this already Ive been trying for months to get a mortgage so I can put my family in a house but Im constantly battling these discriminating CD bureaus that make it impossible to get something in life.

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
The Discover card was opened in XXXX. 
Around XXXX of XXXX, I took a cash advance of {$100.00}. 
When I made this transaction, I thought a cash advance was considered a transaction like a purchase. 
While making payments on the credit card balance, I thought the cash advance was being paid with my monthly payments. I didn't realize there is a separate interest charge for cash advances. 
Over the course of 17 years, none of my payments have gone to pay this cash advance. Apparently, none of the monthly payments made are applied to the advance, until the balance of the purchases is paid in full. 
This {$100.00} cash advance now shows as a balance of {$8100.00}. All interest charges for the {$100.00}. 
This account is enrolled in auto withdraw from my bank, and I rarely use the card. 
When I was declined to make a purchase recently, it caused me to go back and look at my statements. 
This is where I saw the outstanding balance for the Cash Advance, that I am now over my limit, and my payments are continuing to increase monthly due to the interest. 
Being over the limit is now being reported to my credit report and my score is being affected. 
Initially I thought I was a victim of fraud. 
I reached out to Discover to discuss this issue. This is when I realized that I was not a victim of fraud but was a victim of predatory lending. The {$8000.00} was a result of the {$100.00} cash advance. 
I was told their records only go back 7 years. The best they said they could do was credit me back 3 months of interest paid on the advances and offered to put me in a payment plan. 
I do not abuse my credit cards ; I only have a {$910.00} purchase balance on the card. 
My payments are always made on time. 
If you look at the last payment made of {$220.00}, {$200.00} went to the cash advance interest, only {$13.00} went towards the interest for the purchases. At this rate, the advance will never be paid off. 
Each month my minimum payment continues to increase. 
If they can not document the XXXX cash advance made, how can they continue to charge interest on it?
