Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Sc XXXX XX/XX/2023 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, Iowa XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to bring to your attention the issue I have been facing with XXXX XXXX regarding the incorrect and old information on my credit report. Despite my numerous attempts to have the wrong addresses and names removed from my credit report, XXXX XXXX has consistently refused to do so. 

I have been a victim of potential identity theft, and as a result, my credit report has been affected. I have contacted XXXX XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX times to have the incorrect information removed, but to no avail. I have provided them with the correct information and proof of my identity, but they have failed to take any action. 

To make matters worse, my Social Security number is on the Dark Web, which makes it easy for someone else to run my credit. My credit report has over 33 old addresses, misspelled names and phone numbers still on it, which are known to be on the dark web. This is a serious security risk, and I am extremely concerned about the potential for further identity theft. 

I am extremely frustrated with XXXX XXXX 's lack of action and their unwillingness to correct the errors on my credit report. This has caused me a great deal of stress and has negatively impacted my credit score. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX. I believe that they are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and I would like to see them held accountable for their actions. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Complaint:
I have already paid this card off twice. This company makes it hard to even make the payments, because it was through Ulta, and theres always an issue online, which is the only way you can pay it. This account was closed out after I paid this off the first time. I paid it off again because it was reopened and I was tired of my credit score being ruined and tried to fix it, again. They closed the account once more. Then they sold it to the debt collection agency that likes to harass me now. They didnt give them the full history of my transactions or payments and this current company is still asking me for money. When I have asked for statements in the past, they only send me a couple months worth, despite the card being open for multiple years. I have bank statements proving all the payments I made and it was accepted, so why is this still being continually opened in my credit report? Why are you still trying to get more money from with with only a few months worth of transactions. Thats not all of them. All the evidence shows up under their reviews online. Im single mother who is also a XXXX XXXX survivor. Im currently in XXXX  full time and its sick that this company prays on people like me. This company has made my already traumatic life even more traumatic because I cant do anything with my credit score being ruined.
