Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
XX/XX/2022 they unilaterally closed my card. Then they added a charge that indicates " refund check '' in the amount of - {$600.00}, I have not received or cashed any check. 

I continually ask them to remove the charge. They said they closed my " old account '' and credited the amount back to the " old account '' which I don't have access to see or use. 

I repeatedly ask them to credit it to the account I DO have access to, if any. Alternatively I ask them to actually issue the refund, they keep telling me to wait and nothing is happening. When I call back they repeatedly have no records of my previous contacts. When I ask for a way to write them in writing, they argue or don't speak XXXX well enough to hold a conversation. Now they're claiming I owe them money in the amount of {$240.00}, when its the other way around, they owe me {$600.00} ( less the {$240.00} balance on the new card ). They advise me " just don't pay your bill then, if you get a late fee we'll just refund it '' ... however it is my position they are holding my money in deposit illegally without interest.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report, To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
While monitoring my credit reports I found several fraudulent inquiries on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Experian. Even though I paid to have all three credit agencies to lock or freeze on my reports, to my dismay, someone was still allowed to solicit credit in my name and was granted a XXXX cable/internet account in my name in XXXX XXXX. This is despite the fact at the time I had a valid XXXX account in my home in XXXX, which had been active for years. Needless to say I no longer use XXXX.

I called each company and informed them of the fraud. I also asked them why they did not contact me in accordance with the credit locks that were in place. I asked all of the companies to remove their inquiry from my credit report. I also contacted XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Experian to inform them of the fraud and requested the inquiries be removed. I also disputed the inquires via one of these agencies online form to no avail. XXXX 's and one other creditor honored my request and removed the fraudulent inquiry.

The majority of the fraudulent accounts were initiated with a XXXX  XXXX address. I contacted XXXX PD and reported the fraud to their Financial Crimes division. They opened a case.

Months later XXXX  discontinued my service and claimed I owed them over {$900.00} for service in XXXX   XXXX. I explained to them that I contacted their office in XX/XX/XXXX about the fraudulent inquiry. Yet it turns out they gave the perp an account in my name despite my informing them. After trying for more than a week to have XXXX  correct this issue, I filed a complaint with the XXXX   Attorney General. XXXX   eventually apologized and removed the collection from my reports.

Currently I still have several fraudulent inquires on all three credit reporting agencies even though I have asked the companies and the agencies to remove them. I would like to have every fraudulent inquiry removed.

XXXX XXXX   fraudulent inquires : XXXX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  fraudulent inquiries : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX  XXXX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX EXPERIAN fraudulent inquiries : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Please note, I currently have an active XXXX XXXX Card and an active XXXX XXXX  Card. The fraudulent inquiries cited above are NOT associated with my current active accounts. One of which is more than 14 years old.

Thank you.

Complaint:
I have never received a bill from the original company this is due from. I do not know where these bills are coming from and why I owe them. I have also never received a bill from BC Services. The only reason I know that I " owe '' is because it shows up on my credit report. I have contacted them to send me something so I know what it is and why I owe. I have only been told how much I owe over the phone and that it is a medical debt. BC Services has failed to assist me in the debt and just want to collect the debt that I am not even aware of owing.

Complaint:
I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor.

In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Complaint:
I was approved for a Business Line of Credit with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2019 and as a requirement to keep the BLOC active, there policy is that you have to open a business checking as well. So the banks policy is to use XXXX to check you consumer report with lexis nexis. Upon opening the account in XX/XX/2019 there was no freeze on or any other issues showing on LN. So on XX/XX/2019 I tried to cash a check against the BLOC at the bank and was informed that they couldn't because XXXX showed a frozen account with LN. I called them several times and they reported that the freeze takes 15 mins to be removed. Each time I called them back they said the system showed it was removed ... however after contacting XXXX, each time they said there was a consumer freeze. Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter I received from XXXX XXXX  showing the freeze current as of XX/XX/2019. Also I'm including a series of emails of me requesting the freeze being removed and showing LN,  admitting that there was an issue on their side and infact the freeze was still showing. This has been going on for a couple of months. This has placed financial strain on my company, because XXXX XXXX has closed my business checking account and refunded me the money I opened the account as well as closed my Business Line of Credit. I'm enclosing both emails to LN on removing the freeze ... one will show that I responded to LN that I will be filing a complaint against them and one shows me just recently requesting and update and again they repeated the same lie as in the past. Note on that email correspondence at the bottom, that they categorized it as closed. So what does that mean, closed. This mis handling of my account has caused me financial harm and weeks of wasted time trying to get this matter fixed. I want this matter resolved immeadiately, or we will be taking more serious measures.

My XXXX  always got the mail, I never even had the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Now I am getting stuff from companies and I dont even understand what it all is.
