Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX someone made 2 hard inquiries with my info to MoneyLion. On XX/XX/XXXX a {$600.00} line of credit was issued to that person. I check my credit every week online and i promptly reported this with ML and the bureaus. As of today XX/XX/XXXX ML still had not reported the fraudulent account with the bureaus. I need both inquiries AND the fraudulent account to reflect my credit accurately. I spoke with XXXX  at ML and XXXX at XXXX  today and they may be working on it, but I have had an additional two months of inaccurate scoring and i am trying to get a HELOC and all this nonsense is holding us up. There is no reason this should still be ongoing. The glendale police has already provided affidavits, etc. It has already been proven as fraudulent yet my scores and reports are not corrected. Also, if an account is found to be fraudulent, why does the consumer have to babysit the INQUIRIES? It is obvious that if the account is fraudulent then the inquiries that got the account open are also fraudulent. I am not happy that the info given to ML was so inaccurate yet they approved the account. the person who used my SSN and name and address used a FAKE phone number, FAKE email, FAKE work name and FAKE work number. If ML had done due diligence to check these things then the fraudulent account could have been prevented. and i would not have to keep making sure it is correct.

Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 we received a telephone call from a person identifying himself as being from Georgia Pardon and Parole stating our son was scheduled to be released from prison but he needed an electronic monitor which there was not time for them to provide. He requested we send this money so they could proceed with his release. He requested {$1500.00} which I sent via XXXX off my Discover card. He then said his supervisor would send the request for me to pay. When the request came through, it was for {$1600.00}, and I did not catch the discrepancy before approving the payment. When this transaction went through, I was told they could not just make an adjustment, I would have to send the payment again for the correct amount and they would refund the incorrect amount. His supervisor again sent a request to XXXX for the correct amount and I authorized the payment. I now have two charges on my Discover card, {$1600.00} and {$1500.00}, which includes a transfer fee. The caller then stated this payment did not go through and requested I purchase a XXXX XXXX reload card to send the money. I was told this amount would also be credited back to my account. I sent my wife to XXXX and she had to purchase three XXXX XXXX  cards at {$500.00} each. I have disputed these charges with XXXX and Discover. 
I learned this was a scam the same day and disputed the charges with XXXX and Discover. I canceled my Discover card and requested a replacement the same evening. I just received the decision from Discover that I will be responsible for these charges because I authorized the charges even though Discover acknowledges this is a scam. 
This is a scam that is being used to defraud families of incarcerated individuals. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. This constitutes elder abuse and I should be refunded my money. I have not received any merchandise. I have filed a police report that can be provided if needed and have included an attachment describing this scam. Discover should reverse these charges and remove them from my account.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/2019, I received alarm notice from Experian, stating it could not connect to my bank account to perform Experian Boost. I was anticipating score increase today due to recent utility payments, and immediately followed Experian 's online instructions to fix the problem. No luck, so I called Experian. Was told by first rep to disconnect my bank account and then reconnect. According to her, any points deducted from my score during this process would be reimbursed as soon as I reconnected my bank account. Although I was not comfortable with any of this, I disconnected my bank account. My credit score instantly decreased by 13 points. When I tried to reconnect bank account, Experian site again consistently prompted " Bank Unsupported ''. I called Experian 2nd time. 2nd rep told me to try to reconnect " at a later date ''. UNACCEPTABLE. I asked her to, at the very least, return my 13 points to my credit score. She wouldn't, and would not connect me with someone who could. At great personal cost, I have been rebuilding my credit. I am XXXX   XXXX and chronically ill. It is extremely difficult in my condition to jump through hoops consumers are put through by credit reporting agencies. Additionally, Experian insists on having your bank log in information, password, routing #, etc., which consumers are advised NEVER to furnish to anyone. My social security benefits are direct deposited into my bank account. I am worried to death about my money now. Due to XXXX XXXX, I am unable to physically get to bank today to take out my money, nor do I want to. I can not go to supermarket in person, so I need to keep my money in the bank in order to pay for groceries, as cash is not accepted by online grocery delivery services. Additionally, the frustration of credit score decrease instead of score increase through Boost which should have been done today is causing me to have a colitis attack which could very possibly put me in the hospital. I want my 13 points back. I want to know what Experian considers a " later date '' to reconnect my bank account. I want today 's Boost to be done - increasing my credit score.

Complaint:

Now, XX/XX/XXXX my account has been closed, with XXXX late payments, and months away from the XXXX XXXX  interest payment being. Most importantly, this shenanigan was intentional, by this unscrupulous company.

Complaint:
To XXXX EQUIFAX XXXX To whom it may concern. 
I recently received a copy of my credit report and found that you are illegally reporting inaccurate information about me. XXXX # XXXX has verified the date and stated that they are reporting correctly that any inaccuracies would fall on fault to the 3 bureaus. I filed many disputes about this issue with no results. As it continues to cripple my financial obligations to other credit companies and violate my civil rights while we try to figure out who's at fault here. 
I received a notification that I had another late payment added to my report today. No charge off account should have late payments attached to it. It is late by default. And this is a very serious violation seeing this has went on so long. EQUIFAX has XXXX late payments attached to it. This is a deformation of my character and against several laws. Along with that each Credit Reporting agency is reporting a different balance as you will see in the attached photos and all have a different date of last activity. This account was verified and validated as being in compliance to the FCRA but how? 
This is a violation of the FCRA and is also in violation of requisite Metro 2 Compliance reporting standards. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act I have the right to a fair and accurate credit report, therefore any information that is not true, accurate and verifiable is required to be removed. 
I demand you each remove the inaccurate account immediately to avoid further persecution from the CFPB and Federal Trade Commission. Please send me an updated copy of my credit report snowing your compliance with all FCRA and Metro 2 Reporting requirements. 
With Great Sincerity, XXXX XXXX
