I never received documentation, just a updated report saying " this account has been verified ''. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a second letter requesting documentation confirming validity of the account. I received the same responses as XX/XX/XXXX from each bureau.On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a third letter and did not receive a response at all. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter requesting method of verification of the XXXX XXXX account and did not receive a response. I contacted XXXX XXXX to resolve the account since it was affecting my score. I was told that they did not have my account it was with a company called XXXX XXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was told they didn't have authority of my account and that I had to contact XXXX. After being transferred between the 2 companies, I was still unable to find out who had authority over the account. I spoke with a rep named XXXX whose extension was XXXX at XXXX XXXX and another rep at XXXX XXXX who got a manager over the phone and he told me that he couldn't do anything because my account was not with XXXX. Two weeks later, I contacted XXXX XXXX again and was told the account was with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . I contacted this company at XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX. I paid the account and expressed that this payment was not an admittance of ownership but that of a weary consumer who was tired of getting the run arounds. I made the payment and was told XXXX XXXX is responsible for removing the account since they are the ones reporting. I called XXXX XXXX the following day on XX/XX/XXXX and was told again that they do not have my account and thus could not give me any information.

As of today, my credit score has decreased badly because of this issue chase has caused and I need this issue to be fixed immediately.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I was a victim of identity theft in XX/XX/2017 in which someone stole person information, filed my taxes and began opening and attempting to open several fraudulent accounts in my name. I have been working with local law enforcement, the three credit reporting agencies and the account lenders. 

In sending in copies of police reports, federal trade commission reports, proof of my ID as the rightful owner and other supporting documents, over the past two years I have obtained little to no success in trying to successfully remove these accounts from my credit report. I have in writing, on several occasions asked that the lenders send me proof of whatever SIGNED documents that have confirming that these accounts were opened by " me '' and they have not responded or sent me copies of these documents per my request. When I speak with the credit reporting agencies, they simply state that the debts were verified by the lenders but CAN NOT either provide me with the requested documents to corroborate their investigations. 

I have been denied job opportunities, other loans, and even bank accounts due to these accounts and at this point I want results. I want in writing whatever documents they have that were alleged signed by me and want these fraudulent accounts removed from my credit reports.
Complaint sub-issue: Charged too much interest

I received a zero percent balance transfer until XXXX 2018. I had my insurance payments charge to this card. I paid these charges off along with the minimum payment each month. I was still charged interest on these charges despite that fact that I paid them off. A representative told me previously that I would not be charged interest if I did this. I spoke to another representative today and she told me that I not only will be charged interest for charges I made, but I would also be charged interest on an additional amount next month that I did not understand. I asked her if they charge interest daily. She said no. But I do n't understand why I am still being charged interest on an amount that I paid off plus more than the minimum monthly payment

I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by Equifax. I requested for an investigation because the accounts have nothing to do with me. I am a victim of identity theft and the accounts are not my responsibility. Equifax failed to give me the result of their investigation. I assume they were unable to verify it. The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete this ASAP, this is very exhausting, nobody wants to grant me a loan because of this.

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

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem

I have a Discover credit card originally opened in XXXX in which I have a {$15000.00} credit limit and have used my limit. My current annual income which has remained the same over the past couple of years is around {$50000.00} - {$55000.00} I tried to contact Discover as I am currently going through financial hardship to see if we can settle on a lower balance as I feel Discover should have never approved me for such a high credit limit based on my income, it was only so they can charge me a lot of interest. I have other credit cards through XXXX, XXXX, XXXX bank, XXXX these lenders have given me credit limits from {$1500.00} to at most {$4000.00}. All the credit issuers use the same criteria such as income and cost of housing so I don't understand why Discover approved me for such a high credit limit which I now find difficult to pay and get out of debt. I believe it was so they could charge me a lot of interest.Back in XX/XX/XXXX Discover raised my credit limit from {$13000.00} to {$15000.00} without me requesting it and also approved me for another Discover credit card in XX/XX/XXXX with a {$4000.00} credit limit. I assume responsiblity as a customer, all that Discover offered me was to lower my interest rate on my credit card to 9.99 %. I feel that based on my income of {$50000.00} - {$55000.00} Discover should have never approved me for a credit line of {$15000.00}. The interest rate being so high has led to all my payments going to towards the monthly interest that ranged in {$250.00} range, making it impossible to pay my balance down. I have been a good customer never making late payments, always at least paying minimum, I believe that offering me a high credit limit was not done for my benefit but theirs, as they knew my income had stayed the same, but increasing my limit throughout the years without me asking them to and charging me a high interest rate, ensures they can make the most money off of me as possible.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Good Day, I am writing to dispute the derogatory credit mark made against me by XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX received a payment of {$2900.00} on XX/XX/XXXX for the XXXX billing cycle. Due to an update to the escrow amount, the payment was short {$57.00}. I did not receive a notification letter nor was there an email or phone call of said change that would warn me that my mortgage amount had updated. After being out of the country from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, I was shocked to receive a letter from XXXX XXXX claiming I was 30 days past due on my account. 

Upon returning from being out of the country, I immediately called XXXX XXXX customer service to understand the matter fully and address it, I was educated by the representative that instead of leaving the funds in suspend ( per XXXX XXXX XXXX policy ), the payment was processed as a principal-only payment. The payment was never noted to be a principal-only payment, rendering my account 30 days late. If the payment was left in suspend, then the following payment of {$2900.00}, received on XX/XX/XXXX would have rendered the XXXX balance to be paid in full. After several calls to their customer service, they ultimately reversed the principal-only payment, acknowledging the incorrect process, but will not reverse the derogatory credit reporting caused by their error. Due to this processing error on XXXX XXXX XXXX part, I do not agree with the negative assessment placed against my credit report. 

In my 3 years of home ownership, I have never missed a mortgage payment, or any other payment for that matter, and my credit score and history reflect that. XXXX XXXX XXXX lack of clear communication regarding the escrow update, making my mortgage payment a principal-only payment, and the lack of ownership for their processing error, makes it clear that they do not care about the average consumer. 

Attachments : 1. I have provided a copy of their statement that explains their " Partial Payment '' policy, in which they did not follow. 
2. I have provided my payment statement that shows XXXX payments processed for the same amount as the XX/XX/XXXX, however, XXXX XXXX processed it as principal-only, unauthorized.

I am outraged and need to know what I should do next. the account was closed in err of CitiAadavtage and they should take the responsibility of fixing this issue.
