Complaint:
I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction and frustration regarding the presence of fraudulent/negative accounts on my credit report under your bureau. It has come to my attention that these accounts, which have already been deleted by other credit bureaus, still persist on your records. This situation is not only unacceptable but also damaging to my financial standing and reputation. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests.

I find it perplexing that while other credit bureaus have taken swift action to rectify this issue, your bureau has failed to do so. It is crucial for you to understand the urgency and gravity of this matter. I demand immediate and aggressive action to remove these erroneous entries from my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  - XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable.

I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

These discrepancies are not only inaccurate but also tarnish my creditworthiness and financial integrity. I expect your bureau to uphold the same standards as your counterparts and promptly address and rectify this situation. Any further delay in resolving this matter will be considered a gross negligence of your duty and a blatant disregard for consumer rights. 

I have attached supporting documentation, including letters from the other credit bureaus acknowledging the removal of these accounts. I demand that you treat this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves, ensuring that my credit report accurately reflects my true financial standing. 

If these issues are not addressed promptly and satisfactorily, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter through legal channels and file complaints with the appropriate regulatory

Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
XXXX Credit Reporting agency was granted injunctive relief to not report public records such as bankruptcy which has resulted in my credit report missing information and/or inaccurately reported information. Some accounts have been reported as charged off, included in bankruptcy filings, and/or other erroneous information. This injunctive relief is being requested XXXX XXXX XXXX to be lifted and will be submitted to the court of record ( s ) for the following reasons.

Attached is the immediate credit report following the discharge of the Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy with all of my accounts being listed. Some information remains incorrect such as a co-borrower who was also discharged on the XXXX XXXX XXXX   account. Some accounts that were revolving accounts and directly drafted from my bank account such a XXXX debt amount reported may be inaccurate or contain fees, etc as this was a line of credit. XXXX XXXX  who previously stated that this debt was included in the Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy was not an actual debt included and the surrendered vehicle in the second XXXX account should have been offset by any sale as well as the trade-in ( s ) after lease agreements expired, etc.

Given the fact that this is the closest to accurate credit report and the only report that is supported by a Chapter Bankruptcy order, with no order in XX/XX/XXXX, the default order in XX/XX/XXXX will be requested by consumer XXXX XXXX XXXX to govern her credit history and the request will include indefinite reporting of all credit history to alleviate misinformation to the public and potential creditors. XXXX has not released a free credit report as it pertains to XXXX XXXX XXXX in two years.

Complaint:
Black Hawk Network has lost {$800.00} of my money.

On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to make a purchase at a grocery store using each of the 4 Black Hawk Network gift cards. 
All 4 purchases were declined with a " Not Authorized '' message displayed on POS terminal.

I immediately checked the balance of each Black Hawk Network gift card using the phone number & website on the back of the cards.

All 4 cards ' balances were XXXX dollars. 
The merchant confirmed that the purchases were declined and no money was charged to the Black Hawk Network gift cards. 
I waited 2 days for the funds to be automatically returned to the cards. The funds were not returned. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called Black Hawk Network to ask for assistance. They instructed me to file a dispute and told me that I will receive a dispute form by email. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I received the dispute forms after calling Black Hawk Network again to request the dispute forms. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted 4 dispute forms ( 1 for each card ), photographs of all cards, and an explanation of the declined transaction & disappearing money problem to Black Hawk Network by email. 
On XX/XX/XXXX Black Hawk Network verified by phone that no additional information was needed from me to process the dispute. 
On XX/XX/XXXX Black Hawk Network advised me that their investigation will take 90 days and that they may not return the {$800.00} they lost to me. 

This is a wide-spread disappearing money problem showing the " Not Authorized '' message ( declined transaction ) involving specifically Black Hawk Network MasterCard gift cards at many different merchants. 
Please assist me in requesting Black Hawk Network to send me four {$200.00} replacement cards. Thank you.
