Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date 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 submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per XXXX and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
On Sunday XX/XX/2018 at XXXX XXXX. I was purchasing a XXXX gift for my wife from my on our XXXX CHASE Visa ( XXXX ) but they declined my transaction from XXXX XXXX online for {$450.00}. I had the card in my possession. They text my wife fraud alerts to her cell phone. That was unfortunate but I get it. I called into their fraud depart. After getting a fraud rep on the line, I completed authentication via IVR and Rep. My wife is the primary and I'm an authorized user on the account. After the rep put me on hold for 10 minutes, the person said they can't help me because I didn't call in from my wife cell phone. I escalated to a manager XXXX in XXXX, IL. After authorizing me again, advised that only the primary can make changes. I was just trying to find out why the put my account on hold. I have more than enough in my credit line and authorized on the account. I then asked to obtain their CRM transaction number and she would not provide this. I asked how to file an official complaint online or on the phone but she advised that only way to do this is by sending a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX. When asked who reference numbers I can use she said none. She then put me on a 25 minute hold to come back to say she can't help me. Both the team member and the supervisor where unprofessional and could not explain the policy to me to correct the situation. They said they could only talk to the Primary. So I went ahead and woke up my wife and instead of authenticating her, they said they will not and she will have the fraud department call us back. Why, well they never said on advised of any internal policy. I totally understand fraud issues and want to work these out with the company but this was way out of bounds and they could not advise me on how to clarify the situation. So, special thanks to XXXX Chage Visa for wrecking my wifes XXXX   gift. I asked that someone from your organization could help out to correct the situation so no consumer runs into this problem again.

I've sent multiple letters to this agency about this not being my account. After being advised by identitytheft.gov, I've completed and sent a fraud affidavit via certified mail.

My information was used to obtain an apartment, cell phone, and an auto loan with my ex-partner. I am a victim of identity theft and have put this off for too long. I've completed the proper steps, 1. notify creditors 2. police report 3. informed the state of Texas. The individual I've suspected for this theft is now deceased, and the police department said to contact the federal trade commission to seek relief. These companies disregard laws and dont care whos credit or lives they impact.

Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I recently discovered that I am a victim of identity theft. So I am writing to request an EXTENDED FRAUD ALERT to be immediately placed in my credit file so that no new credit will be approved or issued until the lender first verified my identity.

Fortunately, in accordance with the FCRA Sections 605B,615 ( f ) and 623 ( a ) ( 6 ), an identity theft report can be used to permanent block fraudulent information that results from identity theft, such as accounts or addresses from appearing on a victims credit report. Identity theft reports can prevent a company from continuing to collect debts that result from identity theft. Pursuant to the FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), please BLOCK ALL INFORMATION RESULTING FROM IDENITIY THEFT, except as otherwise provided in this section A, in which a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer identifies as information resulted from an alleged identity theft, NO LATER THAN 4 BUSINESS DAYS after the date of receipt by agency.

I ask that you comply with the Federal Laws in place, and swiftly and permanently block the accounts, addresses, inquiries and other information that you are reporting listed on the Identity Theft Report List of Fraudulent Accounts. I am also requesting to be mailed a new credit report to my address of record above.

Enclosures : a. Identity Theft Report b. List of Fraudulent Accounts on my Report c. FCRA Sections 605,609,6011 d. Proof of Identity To Whom It May Concern, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. I am writing to dispute fraudulent accounts opened without my consent.

I did not open these accounts, nor did I give anyone authorization to do so. I am requesting that the accounts are removed and blocked.

I am distressed that you have included the information attached in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The attached information therefore needs to be investigated.

I respectfully request to be provided with proof of these alleged items, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my wet signature.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I applied to refinance my car, immediately after a collection account was placed on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a debt I have no knowledge of as if the company has something which alerts them to when someone applies for new credit. I tried to dispute with all 3 credit bureaus, and I received notification that the investigation has been completed and found to be valid as of XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to follow up with the dispute as I do not owe any collections or have any past due debts. I have 100 % on time payments reporting for all of my credit history. When trying to follow up I was requested to send a copy of my social security card and drivers license to add a fraud alert, however this is not fixing the issue of the invalid collection which has been added to my credit report without being verified or researched. This collection needs to be deleted as it has not been verified.
