Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
****REMOVE THE CONSUMER STATEMENT AND FRAUD ALERT IMMEDIATELY! **** Is this a coordinated attack from XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TransUnion and XXXX  or simply the results of a reckless atmosphere within the credit reporting agencies and towards requirements/laws Congress has clearly stipulated. 

XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion have blatantly committed fraud by adding a consumer statement and 90 day fraud alert on my credit reports, implying it was done at my request, particularly in light of the fact, I had clearly requested to remove all consumer statement and NOT add any additional consumer statements just 10 days ago. 

Summary of Facts : I have been trying to close on a {$600000.00} mortgage since XX/XX/XXXX ( see attached ; inquiry from XXXX XXXX ) and must close by XX/XX/XXXX, otherwise suffer a large financial lose. They will not close with any consumer statement on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I filed a dispute and clearly requested the removal of all consumer statements and that I did not want any CONSUMER STATEMENTS reported in the near future. See case # XXXX XXXX Here is the exact wording : RE :  XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card acct # XXXX x FRAUD! I have no idea what the XXXX is going on. I have a XXXX XXXX Credit Card with a credit limit under {$1000.00}, which I have not used in years. 

*irreversible harm and damages is certain within weeks from today if no action is taken promptly, as the timing of these most recent updates to my credit report could not have come at a worst time. 

*Also ; I DO NOT WANT ANY CONSUMER STATEMENT ADDED TO MY CREDIT REPORT AT THIS TIME AS A CONSUMER STATEMENT WILL ALSO HARM ME. I SIMPLY WANT THE NEGATIVE INFORMATION SYNCB RECENTLY REPORTED REMOVED ( THIS CAN BE A TEMPORARY REMOVAL AS I AM HIGHLY CONFIDENT ANY INVESTIGATION WILL CONFIRM MY CLAIMS AND CONCLUDE FINAL REMOVAL. 

However, I was shocked and bewildered that XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion went ahead and placed a consumer statement along with a 90-day fraud alert onto my credit reports without my knowledge and request. 

I am assuming the credit bureaus will Likely attempt to use my complaint in case # XXXX XXXX as their reason. If that is true, it is further proof XXXX, TransUnion and XXXX do NOT properly read and investigate claims of disputes. Nowhere in that dispute did i request or even hint to add a fraud alert or consumer statement. 

WHY? The fraud I disputed on case # XXXX XXXX took place three ( 3 ) years ago. It is clearly written in the dispute. Further I have ID theft protection through XXXX and a membership with XXXX who claims to monitor and safe guard me from ID theft along with a XXXX dollar insurance policy to cover any cost. Therefore I am in no need of a consumer statement or fraud alert. 

PLEASE remove the consumer statement and fraud alert immediately
