Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I received an alert from Experian that my credit score has a negative change. When I looked into my Experian account I saw that a credit line I had never heard of had been opened in my name and was past due on payments. The creditor is XXXX XXXX and when I contacted them I was told that I had opened the account in XXXX of XXXX  and was past due on payments as of XX/XX/XXXX. I disputed that this was my account and they immediately closed the account to and said they were sending me paperwork about further disputing the fraud ( which has not yet happened ). Experian also followed up with the company but did not resolve the issue or remove the negative account from my credit report. I also opened a police report with the XXXX XXXX police department on XX/XX/2022 ( report XXXX ). Also, while this dispute with Experian was ongoing, someone hacked my Experian account and changed all my personal information : email address, phone number, password, security question, etc. I believe I have resolved this with Experian but it's clear someone had created a fraudulent account in my name and then tried to hide it from me. If it helps at all, the phone number that was entered in the Experian system and which is not mine is XXXX.

Under IS USC 1681CXXXX Block of information resulting in identity theft. THE LAW CLEARY STATES " BLOCK Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agencies shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of- ( XXXX ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer : ( XXXX ) a copy of an identity theft report : ( XXXX ) the identification of such information by the consumer and ( XXXX ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

They have arbitrarily held my money for almost 100 days now. Money my family needs. I am recently divorced and this added stress has admitted me to the XXXX where I was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I explained this to Venmo. They are inhumane and do not care about their consumers. I was told that from TODAYS DATE XXXX they are allowed to hold my money for an additional XXXX at which SHOULD THEY DECIDE I am allowed to have it they will contact me via email..?????? How is this legal????? Please help me. Complaint also filed with FCC as well as Federal Trade Commission.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block these files.
