Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. 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/remove these files. I found that under section XXXX ( a ) Equifax and XXXX 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 and it requires the following documents and statement to remove the disputed accounts on my file : ( 1 ) Appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) A copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) The identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) A statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) That alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) That is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) The filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$3000.00} and XXXX XXXXXXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$27000.00}. 

If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Complaint sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Date X/X/18 Bank : Comerica Location : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX Hello, The complaint is regarding a small deposit to a checking account made with Comerica Bank on X/X/18. The issue was n't the deposit itself, but cash back received. Made a small deposit with larger bills to a checking account and request a small fraction of it back in smaller bills ( {$50.00} total - 2 {$20.00} 's, 1 {$10.00} ). The teller handling this transaction hands me 3 bills, with the {$10.00} bill being 1/3rd missing ( ripped with right-hand serial number missing ). I 'm just tired of this sort of behavior and although it 's a petty complaint, would like to file it. She knowingly counted the bills and saw the integrity of the torn bill. My mistake was checking the amount but not the actual bills for this type of thing ( ripped ). Anyhow, just requesting {$10.00} deposited back into my account to rectify the situation and will happily return the torn one.
