Complaint:
I hereby file this CFPB Complaint regarding a fraudulent entry on my credit report, which has surfaced recently. I did not authorize or participate in this entry, and it has significantly damaged my credit score, causing severe financial harm. Although I have made considerable efforts to challenge this fraudulent account with both the credit reporting agency and the creditor involved, their response has been unsatisfactory. Despite providing compelling documentation and evidence of the fraudulent activity, this account remains on my credit report, inflicting ongoing damage on my credit score. I am convinced that the fraudulent account resulted from identity theft, and I am deeply concerned about its potential long-term consequences on my financial well-being. I, therefore, formally request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take immediate action to ensure that this fraudulent account is expunged from my credit report, and my credit score is restored to its previous level. Specifically, I insist that the following account be removed from my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance : {$10000.00}. The fraudulent account on my credit report comprises a credit account that I did not open, as well as various charges and loans that I neither initiated nor received. Its total amount is significant, and its impact on my credit score has been negative.

Complaint:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

I applied for a short-term loan from XXXX. The terms of the application said NO hit to my personal credit would happen. This is not the case. I received information that Headway Capital ran a credit report without my authorization.

I never contacted Headway Capital directly nor gave them permission to check my credit. I had never heard of the company until I received their rejection notice stating my personal credit was not up to their standards.
