Complaint:
I think the first contact I received was around the Fall of XXXX.

She informed me of a credit card that was overdue for payment. I explained that I had never applied for XXXX XXXX. In fact I have a XXXX account that only had my personal debit and local bank card attached to it and that I didn't need a paypal credit card. I asked her what the charges were for. She stated XXXX services for the amount of {$4900.00}. I told her that I live in a rural farming community and XXXX isnt accessible. Furthermore I have my own vehicles and don't need XXXX services. She asked if I had ever used XXXX ever. I stated I had in XXXX one weekend and in XXXX, but my XXXX account is only connected to my personal bank account. We went back and forth. She asked me if I thought this was fraud. I stated yes. I never heard back until XXXX of XXXX. I again explained the situation. I was asked if I would be willing to fill out an affidavit and I said yes. I did that, had it notorized and returned it. I never heard another word until XXXX of XXXX from Financial Recovery services. At that time I forwarded the affidavit. I followed that up with a letter from an attorney and they have never replied. I would like to get this issue resolved. I would like my credit cleared and I am getting no where.

Complaint:
I am writing to file a complaint against a XXXX account appearing on my credit report with a balance of {$24.00}. I have been disputing this account with TransUnion and XXXX since XXXX and attempting to contact the creditor without success. Despite several attempts to contact XXXX over the phone to resolve this balance, each representative told me they could not locate any matching account in their system. 

This is causing me an immense amount of stress and confusion. I have sent them letters requesting more information about this debt, including a breakdown of the balance and copy of a contract but never received any reply. Further, I have disputed this with TransUnion and XXXX who have not conducted a proper investigation or supplied me with any results. 

The only response from XXXX was dated XX/XX/XXXX. It had the customer number field blank and stated that it could not find my XXXX XXXX Credit Account . I don't understand how this can be on my credit report if my information can not be matched to any account with XXXX . Additionally, when I called to follow up on XX/XX/XXXX to the number listed on my credit report XXXX there was no way to get a hold of someone other than an automated message.
