All my addresses have been in XXXX Except for when I lived in XXXX and XXXX XXXX. In late XXXX and early XXXX. I'm sick to know that someone can do this and not be flagged!! And that money was sent to a bank account that I don't have any clue of what and where! Im sick because it's been affecting my mental health and my finances! Because social security thinks I'm not XXXX! So I'm being audited and doctors contacted medical records pulled! And they suspended my benefits! Until they were able to talk to me! To confirm that I am still XXXX! And the way the representative was talking to me! Made me feel like a criminal! The first thing she said was XXXX you called because your benefits were turned off! I told her that I had not called, that I walked in to the office! That I had been sick! And I couldn't deal with that because my health was so much more important! That's the second time in the last month that a Government employee was rude to me! 
I got a call from the Department of Social Services to renew my food stamps after going to being off for three months. I did everything they asked me to do and they turned me off. Oh XXXX and one of the employees noticed that when I came in there, he said that I had put it in the wrong portal. It was in there he saw it he said so I sent it so they should be able to just you know, turn my food stamps on without a problem, but the lady said no! And it wasn't even my fault! So I asked her if I have to reapply? And she said yeah no I said, so how was that process going to go? How long would it take and she said I would have to sit in there for three hours after being in there for two hours already!!!!! I said I can't do this, and she can look on the computer and tell that I am sickly! And it was no fault of mine!!! People just don't any compassion for the fellow man these days and it's crazy!!! everyone so cold!!!!

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

Complaint:
I found an account for the amount of {$1200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX in my credit report that was apparently opened on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX XXXX. Until this point, I had no idea who XXXX even was. I immediately began to email the company, XXXX, to report that this was not opened by me and to remove this from my credit report and was unable to get any help. I called and they always had phone issues where they could not hear me or somebody in XXXX would pretend that they did not speak English. When I spoke XXXX  to them, the phone connection got worse. This happened multiple times. 

The credit report only showed the first 4 digits of the account and the last two were shown as XXXX I sent a certified letter to the company and their response was that they need the full account number. I once again tried calling to explain the situation and no luck. Bad phone connection or somebody that just didnt know anything. I eventually sent another letter and got a response with the full account number, magically, but that they needed a lot of documents to verify the account. I sent them what they needed : Social security number, pay check stubs around the time the account was opened, credit report showing the account and License. I received no response. 

I've tried many things through varies agencies to try to help me, including Experian, and they could not get ahold of them on the phone either. The latest letter received on XX/XX/XXXX states that all of the information that I sent them matches what they have on file. Of course, it matches, it's identify theft. 

This company has provided little to no information and has not taken any steps to remedy this situation. I have a perfect credit report payment history EXCEPT for this company because who ever opened this account is defaulting on payments.

It is truly absurd to witness late payments reflected on my account, as I have consistently paid this account on time without any instances of being late. I strongly request that you update my account to accurately reflect my payment history. Please rectify this error promptly and ensure that my account reflects the fact that I have always been punctual with my payments.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged an annual fee of {$85.00} by Comenity Bank for a BJs club membership on my BJs club credit card. I had previously requested to cancel my BJs club membership as I had moved to a location where there was no store within driving distance. I received my statement in the mail and immediately called to question it. I was told it would be taken care of before the {$85.00} payment was due in early XXXX. It was not resolved by the day before the payment was due, so I paid the fee, not wanting a negative score on my credit report. I called Comenity multiple times to get this matter resolved. They finally issued me a credit, but only for {$55.00}. I asked why it was a partial refund, and no one could give me an answer. I attempted to dispute thru Mastercard, but they could not help as it was a buying club membership fee. I called Comenity again, and spoke with a supervisor who assured me the matter would be taken care of. This was in XXXX. A credit balance was placed on my account on XX/XX/XXXX, but was told the only way it could be released was if I cashed the {$55.00} check they previously sent. I cashed the check, and a week later, received notification that the credit that had been showing on my account was being deleted. I have been trying to deal with Comenity since XXXX. It is now XXXX. Please help me in recovering the additional money ( {$30.00} ) owed to me.
