Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, someone tried to open a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  under my name and Social Security number. And how I found out about this issue is when XXXX XXXX called me that same day, and asked if I opened up a XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was a Hard Inquiry onto my Credit Report. So I immediately informed the XXXX XXXX customer support that I was not the one that applied for their credit card. Customer Support immediately blocked/locked that application/account and told me to call them back in the morning as I just got to work when they called me. I called immediately called back the next day and spoke with another XXXX XXXX customer support, and thankfully enough, there was no account opened up under my name and social security number. The customer support did inform me to contact All 3 Credit Bureau 's, to inform them that I contacted XXXX  XXXX and that they do not have any information under my name and social security number, in order to delete/erase that Hard Inquiry onto my Credit Report. I have contacted XXXX already, and they have deleted the Hard Inquiry. However, Equifax and XXXX need proof of information from me, in order to delete/erase the Hard Inquiry. Please help me out with this issue as I do NOT want this on my Credit Report, as my scores have decreased because of this. Thank you.

Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have a mortgage with citizens bank, back in XXXX of 2020 had a call from citizens saying that COVID is affecting many businesses if there is anything they could do to help. I said if they could do anything let me know. Nothing happened, no calls, until a couple months later. I have 1 mortgage # XXXX it's a rental property and I have an account just for the purpose of I collect the rent and it's on auto withdrawal for the last 12 years. I don't check it often and after 2 months I realized they stopped taking the money out so I assumed I was given a forebearance. Next thing I know my credit score dropped, I received a letter from citizens saying I can't use my lines of credit for my business because of my credit rating. So I made an appointment with my bank XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pa XXXX. She contacted citizens mortgage and he said he would straighten it out. And he would set me up with a loan modification. I waited for paperwork after 2 months went to bank and XXXX recommended I make payments so I call in every month since and make a payment ( I have documents to prove this. So I get a call from citizens notary they have paperwork for me to sign about loan modification, it has my father 's name on it and he's been dead for several years, they have gotten several death certificates and they made me payoff a XXXX line of credit he had. So paperwork couldn't be signed. Months went called about signing paperwork brought it to me with my father on it. So it couldn't be signed again. Then I get a letter from a lawyer saying they are going to foreclosure the property. I called in frantic and they said it was because I didn't sign the paperwork in a 12 month period. But it was because the paperwork was wrong. So they said they would send me a new application I never received it. So I continued to make payments now they stopped accepting my payment. Which means they're going to try to take this property. They stopped taking the payment, they also never got the paperwork correct, they killed my credit, they did give me a forebearance for 18 months so I don't know why any of this is happening Doesn't a forebearance mean the payment gets put on the end of the mortgage, citizens says when is over you all payments immediately. I never received paperwork for forebearance or was ever told how it works The loan modification they are offering me is at a slightly lower interest rate, but makes it a 30 year mortgage when I've already payed 12 years. I've tried to contact them and get nowhere. I tried to get another mortgage and pay them off but I can't because they are sending to the credit agency that I haven't made a payment in over a year which isn't true I have my bank statements to prove it. Please help me if you can, I have called many people looking for help. And I was referred to you. My email is XXXX or business # XXXX XXXX XXXX or cell XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
Fraud charges on XXXX XXXX XXXX Called citibank and supposedly they were investigating Phoned back by supposeed security department they obtained my security word Then new card number was stolen and more charges put on my account. 
Contacted by someone name XXXX who told me he was deputy cheif of security and promised to resolve everything. Obtained my security word again. 
Then when new card number was issued someone in Florida called in and asked for my new card to be overnighted to florida. Citibank would not provide me with that address so I could report it to florida police. 
Citibank 's processes obviously allow the criminals access to steal cards and card numbers easily. 
I have finally completely closed my account and froze my social number on all 3 credi bureaus. 

I am going to subtract the fraudulent charges and pay off my account. 

I want to have all fraudulent charges and interest removed from my account
