Complaint sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Close to XXXX XXXX was taken from me from someone having my personal information and using a bank account to receive unemployment benefits from beginning of XXXX to late XXXX I have contacted this bank stated that I did not do those transactions and dont even live at the address the bank account was opened under its in totally different city and zip code as well as the transactions only being atm withdrawals no other transactions I think its ridiculous I have made dispute form sent it to the bank and I have even sent them a police report stating the incident with the best information to my knowledge either the bank doesnt believe me or they are just trying to play me like a fool and not doing their job as a bank to thoroughly investigate before giving a no error status I have been dealing with this since XX/XX/XXXX and no one seems to want to give my money back even though it says my money is FDIC insured up to XXXX but they cant see that someone used my identity to get money that wasnt for them and had access to the bank account as if they were me. I have been able to recover access and get back into account and use card normally but thats after a few weeks of calling back and forth to get a response I dont believe the bank is fully investigating and they are just assuming what they see is correct but do they not understand this is a pandemic and everyone is trying to get money these days including stealing peoples info and getting things that they were not supposed to get similar to my situation. I desperately need this dispute to be resolved I have a family and bills and so much stuff to handle I cant keep dealing with this stress making it harder not knowing if Im gon na get my money back or not
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I received three letters today, XX/XX/2021 from TRS RecoveryServices stating I owe money to XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I received a set of second notices on XX/XX/2021. I called my bank immediately after receiving the first notices because I thought it was a scam. I don't have credit cards with either of these services. I looked up each charge in my bank account and couldn't find any records of them. I am also currently an employee of XXXX XXXX ( a bookkeeper ). My bank researched one of the charges and couldn't find it in my bank record. After telling them about the notices, my bank advised me to ignore them and get a copy of my credit report. 

I called each companies credit service phone number and looked to see if there were accounts with my Social Security number and the result was zero! I have no credit accounts with either of them under my Social Security number. 

I am wondering if this is a case of identity theft or a clerical error. I certainly want an explanation as to why TRS is coming after me. I looked them up and checked the address on the notices on XXXX. Seems they're legit. Honestly, I am afraid to dispute the charges with them because they want me to report my Social Security number and bank account number on a form. Seems they're setting up a trap for me that will cause me a lot more grief than I'm already getting.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Equifax is reporting inaccurate collection accounts to my credit report. I have disputed the company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX multiple times over the phone and through the Equifax website and the information still remains on my report. After constantly disputing the 3 accounts that are being reported under this companys name, each account is now reporting twice! I disputed all 6 accounts once more and Equifax said that all of the information was verified which is impossible because the accounts are not only reporting double times but they are also inaccurate. I requested information from the company itself and they did not validate the debt that is stated on my credit report. My score is being effected and Equifax wont properly investigate this issue. The representative that I spoke with said that he could clearly see the doubles accounts but he was unable to take them off. No other CRA is reporting this company. I am demanding for it to be removed from my credit report and for myself to be made whole.

Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I have called each Bureau numerous times to correct my name and address.They are reporting my name incorrectly also my address. My names has the incorrect spelling. They have address I have never lived. I asked to just update with current address and delete those that I have never resided and nothing happened. I called and sent in letters. I have also sent in XXXX letters requesting accounts to be verified and they mail me back a report stating updated. I requested each bureau proof on paper to be mailed to me of each account showing to be verified and updated. If they can not provide that proof they should delete it immediately. All this is what i sent in my XXXX letter. I received no verification from any account. I want all to be deleted and my name and address to be correct. This is taking a toll on my financial situation. I want what belongs to me and everything that is not mine to be deleted. I want accuracy. I am fighting for my report to be correct and they are ignoring me. I want proof of every account they have, that is supposedly mine. I want my name to be correctly spelled. i want my address to be correct and every address not mine gone. I want the correct social security number on there. I just want accuracy.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem

Dear CFPB, On or around XX/XX/XXXX a representative of Discover Card called my mother XXXX and claimed that she opened a Discover card account in XXXX. My mother is XXXX years old and even if she had a Discover card in the past her account was closed more than ten years ago. 

Despite the fact that my mother denied having an open Discover card account, the Discover representative speaking to her via an interpreter conducted the conversation with an attitude of crime investigator and insisted that a card in her name was opened in XXXX and ( as she understood it ) she was a subject to a fraud investigation. 

I find the behavior of the Discover card associates conducting the phone call unacceptable. I am a discover card holder for about 13 years and would really appreciate that you do not talk to my relatives in the manner described above. 

I would also like to inform Discover that I find it unacceptable to disclose any information about my Discover card account to anyone that I have not specifically authorized to disclose the information to. 

After XX/XX/XXXX the online access to my account was restricted and wen I was attempting to log in into my account I was receiving the message that you can see in one of the attachments. 

It is concerning that Discover not only handles their communications in an unprofessional manner, but it also blocks customers accounts selectively based solely on the fact that the customers are not typical customers. 

As of today my account is adversely affected since I can not enjoy the same level of services as other Discover customers have and Discover has not provided me with any reasons, other than the fact that they have not talked to me over the phone, indicating why my account is adversely affected.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I have always contended that the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account that is reporting on my credit report is reporting incorrectly and I intend to prove this. In the latest credit report that I got from XXXX it says that the account was paid in full and that the last payment date was XX/XX/XXXX and yet Equifax is saying that the last payment date was in XX/XX/XXXX. How can it be that two credit bureaus are getting their information from the same source but are reporting two different payment dates? That makes no sense. Equifax is reporting that the account went into a charged off status in XX/XX/XXXX ( which is false ) and XXXX is reporting that the account went into a charge state in XX/XX/XXXX. How can it be that two credit bureaus that should be getting information from the same source are reporting two different charge off dates and two different payment dates? 
This makes no sense and I have often complained that the XXXX XXXX XXXX account is reporting inaccurately on my credit report and I want it deleted immediately. 
Kindly see files attached proving my point

I filed dispute ( CITI Bank DISPUTE # XXXX ) with CITI BANK issued Master Card ( MasterCard Case # XXXX ) for an Air  ticket/s   booking made via travel agent ( XXXX/XXXX  ) as the airline cancelled my flight due to COVID-19. 

I was qualified for a full-refund by the travel agent through which I booked the flight per the federal regulation issued by US DOT. The airline ( XXXX XXXX ) REFUNDED the FULL Amount to this Travel Agent ( XXXX/XXXX ) on XX/XX/2020. Yet, the CITI BANK refused to re-open my claim against this charge. 

Further, when merchant/travel agent ( XXXX/XXXX  ) has agreed to issue me a FULL REFUND but want an " Official Charge Back Withrawal '' regarding this transaction, the CITI Bank is NOT responding to various requests that I have made over a period of 1 month. It is critical that CITI Bank provides me with an official Charge Back Withdrawal Letter so I can be issued my refund by this merchant. I have made numerous atempts by phone & emails but CITI BANK is not responding.

On    XXXX  2017, I called again to check the status and again was told that bankruptcy was verified. I asked how was it verified and she stated that they do n't verify. They do n't look at any paperwork and that they depend on the computer system to verify any information received. No human eyes looked at the information/paperwork until it is labeled verified into the computer. So I asked, " did you actually talk to anyone and she stated no we do n't, just sent a transmission through the internet. which is a violation of the FCRA. It was all done in less than a day and without accurate verification. I would like this bankruptcy removed due to it being inaccurate and because validation was never received to report this error. This bankruptcy is not allowing me to become a independent person. I have to rely on others for my living situation due to this reporting on credit.
