Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

I recently received a mailing from Commerce Bank that stated " {$300.00} cash bonus for opening a new Commerce Bank checking account, when you establish a recurring {$500.00} minimum direct deposit, with two deposits within the first 90 days. '' I opened the account within the allotted time period and followed every procedure as requested. My statements show the repeated direct deposits. <P/>Initially I had a very hard time just getting online, it took several weeks to fix a glitch in their system just so I could view my account online even though it was funded the day I opened the account. After two months or so I asked when the deposit would be made, they said after the account had been opened for 90 days. During this time period I had a hard time logging in so I called the online banking and asked what the problem was. They said that since I had written a check for all the funds in the account to another bank they had closed the account but it was automatically reopened on my next direct deposit. I asked the customer service representative why they never told me that they would close an account when a balance reached XXXX. I have had accounts at dozens of separate banks over the years and never had any of them close an account because of a XXXX balance and that I should have been informed of such a policy. I also asked if it would affect the bonus I was promised and the individual said no, it would not affect the bonus and I would still receive it. I called back again in XXXX and was told that I would be paid in during the third week in XXXX. I called after the third week in XXXX and was told it would be after the end of XXXX. Still there was no {$300.00} bonus. I called the bank branch I opened the account with directly again in XXXX and the lady I spoke with said she would research why there was a problem and contact me again. She called me back and said they input the bonus code wrong when I originally opened the account but said they had fixed the problem and I would see my bonus within a week. I received a phone call today, XXXX XXXX and was told there was no bonus because the account balance had gone to XXXX at some point. I stated that this was never a requirement, the only thing was that there be {$500.00} or more in monthly direct deposits. I asked to speak to a manger but was told he was busy and he would call me back. I waited all day and never received a phone call. <P/>Dealing with this bank has been a nightmare, all I want is what they promised me, the {$300.00} bonus.

Equifax and XXXX are reporting incorrectly a balance due of {$6800.00} on the XXXX XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page 12 of the attached credit report. ) On XX/XX/2019 I went to the XXXX XXXX precinct and filed an identity theft report. While checking my credit report, I discovered that an unknown individual opened several accounts and did about 30 inquiries with my personal information. I have moved several times and at one point I lost my drivers license and social security card. I did not open this account nor did I give anyone authorization to use my personal information to open and account. I have attached a copy of the police report prepared on XX/XX/2019 along with a copy of the signature page. This incorrect reporting is harming my credit score and these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to resolve this, however I have not been successful.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status

I do not, and am not disputing ownership of the Trade line contained in this. 

XXXX XXXX Account account is reporting inaccurately, and incompletely. Please update its data to report correctly - or DELETE the account. 

This Collection account is reporting as if they are Credit Grantors, when in fact they are not. And as such, They are expected to be reported in the ( XXXX and XXXX ) segment allowed for such reporting, Collections. Please see page XXXX - of the attached sample Equifax credit report., from equifaxes ' own site. 

This collection account, and all others showing on my files- allows this debt collector to report this activity as if - I have/had an " OPEN '' type ( reserved for XXXX, utility companies ) - where a contract for services exists and that such contract allows for payment when billed. They as debt collectors - can not report in this manner. 
FCRA - 623, is the section in which this complaint, is being filed 1. Because of the way in which this is reporting, and ORIGINAL CREDITOR must exist, and does NOT 2. This account is showing as an " INSTALLMENT '' Type of credit line, when they can not as Debt Collectors 3. Is inaccurate - as even as it resides in this segment of my report - lacks its true Pay Status, as they can only have " PAID Collection '' or " Unpaid Collection '', or check, of which this account is not. This instead has " In Collection '' when this value is dedicated to Credit Grantors only. 
4. Stores a date of First Major delinquency, which the Debt Collection CAN NOT own or report after it bought or was assigned this account. This - is owned by the Original Creditor - and is wholly inaccurate 5. Has a High Credit - which is wholly inaccurate, there is no HIGH Credit with a Debt Collector, only - the Original Creditor 6. Even existing on this record in its current state - the record is wholly incomplete A credit Grantor must supply the Creditor classification, this is blank c. The Balance History would then be mandated, and this is blank 7. This is a paid collection, and there is neither a concise closer status nor a date. 
I hereby acknowledge that I am the author of all data within this complaint, and I am the owner of all accounts identified within this complaint. I am the author of all text within this complaint - as well as the intellectual owner of the identified data issues on my file. There is no credit repair agency involved, simply myself - a consumer who is being educated through all of this activity. I, as an American Citizen - have an entire right to have this dispute, heard, managed and resolved through this portal.
