Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Im a victim of identity theft and fraud. I have notified the creditors/agencies several times that the accounts & inquiries are fraudulent & do not belong to me. I have not in any way received goods or services from these companies. I have provided the proper authorities my FTC ID THEFT AFFIDAVIT with a sworn statement regarding the fraudulent accounts and inquiries. The documents have been submitted to all credit bureaus as well. Again, I was not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715 719, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. 
Therefore these items must be deleted immediately. 
The FTC report ID number is XXXX and XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Im reaching out because I tried formally disputing inaccurate and incorrect information that was reporting on my personal credit file. I have reached out several time with the last time being XX/XX/XXXX but XXXX  Equifax and XXXX  are still deciding to report illegal information on my credit file that could be as a result from my identity being compromised from Equifax data breach- that Im apart of or a mixed credit file of another consumer. This is an automatic FCRA violation of not properly handing my dispute properly because I provided them with documentation on my identity, which shows my address and full social security number. 
I never received any mail in response to this either. It like I am being ignored! From a XXXX search I know I have rights and reporting this information is a direct violation of my rights. The following needs to be deleted.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I just received an attempt to collect a debt from Discover bank. I have never authorized this debt with Discover and I have never received any type of communication related to this fraudulent account as well. 
Therefore, I'm filing this complaint to get further assistance from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Enclosed with the complaint are FTC ID theft report and police report. I hope the matter can be amicably settled.
Complaint sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

A leasing agent that I am attempting to use states that there is an outstanding balance showing due through XXXX for an Apartment complex. I have attempted to contact XXXX but no one seems to know what I am speaking of. Apparently the debt is being reported to XXXX but everyone I have spoken to does not know what I am referring to. This is technically not my credit report but it is affecting my ability to rent and I have not way to view the report so I am unable to dispute the charge.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX # XXXX is reporting a 30 day late to my account in XX/XX/20 that should not be on there. I had made my payment online and thought it went through and I did not realize there had been a system error until I got a late on the account. I would like this late removed, I have had this account for a very long time and have never been late before and this late was not my fault.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I recently obtained a copy of all 3 of my credit reports and noticed numerous unauthorized fraudulent accounts and two that should have been paid off. I disputed these accounts with each bureau and received very quick responses in less than two weeks saying they were either updated or remained. 

I do not believe they actually physically investigated them. I have recently resubmitted disputes informing them of my identity theft manually since it was not efficient electronically. 

I have also filed a complaint/report with XXXX XXXX County Sheriff ( Waiting on Report Number ) and the FTC Report Number XXXX. I submitted copies of social and id, police report, and FTC report along with dispute letter and notice of my identity theft. 

I 've also requested fraud alerts on all of my bureaus. 

I have attached the letters I sent each bureau along with proof of my identity ( social and id ), police report, and ftc report.

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

Thank you for reading my request about my accounts. I am writing today because during my quarterly review of my accounts listed on my credit report, I noticed that a number of accounts were charged off with XXXX XXXX XXXX_Equifax, XXXX. 

I am requesting that these companies please forward me a copy of the 1099-C that was issued by there company when they charged off this debt with the IRS which is required by law for all debts over {$600.00}.

I continuously asked to do so and no one has sent anything. IT looks as if they are looking for a way not to remove this from my report if this was told in error initially it should not be altered to stick on my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Fee problem

I opened an HSA account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX in XXXX. In XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX sold its XXXX accounts or business to Optum Bank. As part of this transfer, Optum Bank provided the existing XXXX XXXX Bank HSA accountholders with its assurance that the transfer of accounts will be seamless, which included an assurance that the current XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX fee structure would continue to be applicable to our accounts. This fee structure provided a fee waiver in the event your HSA account ( cash and investments ) exceeded {$5000.00}. I have attached a pdf of the Frequently Asked Questions flyer prepared by Optum Bank evidencing this representation. 

Optum Bank honored its commitment until XX/XX/XXXX. My HSA account had a balance greater than {$10000.00}. In this month, Optum Bank charged my account a {$2.00} monthly maintenance fee and a {$3.00} investment fee. I contacted Optum Bank to contest the fees assessed with a reference to the prior representations made my Optum Bank. My request was denied. 

In order to prevent the continued erosion of my HSA account through this aggressive fee schedule, I closed my account ( allowing Optum Bank to charge me a {$20.00} transfer fee ) and transferred my account to XXXX. 

I have been diligent about monitoring my HSA account for fees that included at least one prior instance that a fee was assessed and subsequently reversed. I believe Optum Bank should be held accountable to honor its representations to the former XXXX XXXX HSA accountholders and they should be required to investigate and make public its findings as to any fees erroneously assessed on the former XXXX XXXX HSA accountholders and to make to pay any appropriate refunds and penalties that are deemed warranted.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts?

Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under 15 USC1681i ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under 15 USC1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly REPAIR all information which can not be verified.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

On XX/XX/XXXX I paid a few bills on my credit report, one for XXXX XXXX with an outstanding balance ( Confirmation : XXXX ) for {$1300.00}. About a week later I signed up with XXXX XXXX to help repair my credit. After a month I noticed that charge was still on my report but being reported by Jefferson Capitol. I called them to try to give them the confirmation # and the gentleman yelled at me that " You shouldn't have paid XXXX that should have gone to us '' He told me to send over my bank statement that I had paid this so I did. Fast forward months in time and I'm still no closer to getting this taken off. I've called XXXX and Jefferson Capitol multiple times to try to get this resolved. The collection agency keeps telling me that it doesn't matter if I've paid XXXX that I still owe them another {$1300.00}. I've since sent all documentation to XXXX XXXX to send disputes to XXXX XXXX and XXXX but even if it's removed it could still show as something owed. I was told to contact you to hopefully get this taken care of. I'm trying to build my credit to help my kids go to college and I'm running out of time. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

Ally relies on a network of dealerships that serves as intermediars who originate financing deals with customer. However, Ally Finanical controls all aspect of the loan process. The dealer has no role in approving, making docmenting, funding, holding, servicing, or collecting the loan. Auto lenders are required to follow standards that ensure borrowers can repay their loans. No paystub, employment, and etc was required to open this loan because if due diligence was done Ally wouldve known that I never had a job in my life. How can a loan application get approved if the customer has no way to repay the loan. Ally has predatory lending and deceptive debt collection practices. XXXX XXXX XXXX was sued for the excat same predatory lending and deceptive debt collection practices. The AG of PA should follow. Delete this account from All XXXX  ASAP!

Complaint sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Hello, my name is   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   and I 'm contacting you on behalf of my grandmother  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX . My grandmother is  XXXX  and she is getting ready to retire from a  XXXX  so she has me trying to get her finances square to do so in relative peace. So I inquired about her credit cards that she has had sin ce  XX/XX/XXXX  a  nd  XX/XX/XXXX  and t hey have accumulated a few thousand dollars in interest debt even though she barely used them if at all, even not having a physical card. She was making her payments that were printed on the bills but she did n't realize that the cards were charging interest on the interest and compounding ove r two decades. Sh e is n't asking for a hand out but it is n't right for thousands of dollars to accrue from just interest on the interest before just to keep an account. Another amazing thing I found out when I contacted them is that when she opened the account  ( s  ), that they assume d one thousand dollars in  debt and charged 29.99 % interest on it even though she had n't used the card. They have lowered it down to 16.99 % percent but the damage to the account has already been done. Even with the debt she has a good  credit score a nd plenty more of actual available credit but she just wants to retire with a clean slate and as lifetime   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  . Also wants some semblance of justice or reconciliation on this matter. To her its a moral matter more than a financial one.     Thank you for your time,  XXXX  and  XXXX   XXXX
