Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues.

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621.

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts.

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so.

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person.

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine. None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

Complaint sub-issue: Denied request to lower payments

I have tried to work with Ally Auto to manage my payments due to Covid-19 loss of income. I have filed numerous complaints against Ally and the Executive Management Team tells the CFPB that they are trying to work with me. LET ME BE CLEAR-THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY CONTACT WITH ME. They are lying to you guys and not calling or attempting any type of communication. Now, with that said, their collection department calls me EVERY DAY AT WORK. I answer and tell them EVERY DAY TO STOP CALLING MY WORK NUMBER. They do not listen, one guy laughed and they continue calling my work number every single morning. I have tried to get them to stop calling from the collection department to my work number. Again, they do not listen. If they are doing this to me, they are doing this to many other people. 

Also, do not believe that their executive team works with the consumer when a complaint is filed. They have not attempted to reach out to me at all. If you all have other complaints to Ally Auto, I would reach out to the other consumers and see how well their complaints are handled. As I said above, no one has bothered to reach out to me except their collection department to my work number even though I ask them to stop calling my work.

Complaint sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Citibank has twice determined that we are responsible for a fraudulent charge on our credit card. They advised that we are responsible because the card was in our possession at the time of the charge. Per the bank, the transaction occurred on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX CST, in XXXX, XXXX. We can prove that we were in the United States at that time and we have provided that proof to Citibank. 

We visited XXXX from XX/XX/2021 to XX/XX/2021. We made a purchase at a t-shirt shop while in the XXXX on XX/XX/2021. During that purchase, the shop owner took our card out of the store for 10-15 minutes saying she could not get internet reception on the card reader. We think that somehow the card was tampered with during that transaction. My husband tried to use his card after that and it did not work. 

The disputed charge was for {$7300.00} from a liquor store in XXXX. We did not enter a liquor store while we were in XXXX. Furthermore, we left XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to go to the XXXX, and then flew to XXXX XXXX 8hrs from XXXX XXXX, and then flew back to the US from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, the day prior to the charge. This charge was completely out of character for us ; we have never spent anywhere close to {$7300.00} while out of the country. In addition, a second charge was made after the first for {$7700.00} from the same company. We received a text regarding this charge and immediately advised that we did not make the charge. We called Citibank as soon as we received the text and cancelled our cards and obtained new cards.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

on XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment. I expected the payment to be applied to my balance with a 0 % APR that expires on XX/XX/XXXX. At the time, I had three promotional balances. One at 0 % APR expiring on XX/XX/XXXX, one at 0 % APR expiring on XX/XX/XXXX, and one at 3.99 % expiring on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I expected my payment on XX/XX/XXXX of {$3300.00} to go towards the promotional rate expiring on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. But it was instead applied towards the balance with a 3.99 % rate. I called Sears credit card customer service, and they informed me that the payment is always applied towards the highest interest rate. So I did research, and I found several articles stating that the CARD Act requires payments to be applied to the highest APR first, then towards the remaining balances. But I read that the last two payment before the expiration of the promotional rate would be applied to the expiring balance. 

So on XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment {$3300.00} expecting the payment applied towards the promotional rate expiring on XX/XX/XXXX. But when the payment was applied, it went towards the promotional rate expiring on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I again called Sears Customer service, credit card is issued by Citi Bank, and again the representative told me the payment is applied towards the highest interest rate first. I was unhappy, and I requested to speak with a manager. The manager came on the line and I explained that I wanted to apply my last payment towards the expiring promotional balance. The manager, told me the same thing that the payment is applied to the highest rate due to the law. He said my balance was not a promotional balance, but a balance transfer, so the payment would apply to the highest APR balance. He kept emphasizing that I had balance transfers and not a promotional balance. But when I check my account online, it is clearly described as a promotional balance. 

By not applying it towards the expiring APR balance, the interest rate will jump to the standard interest rate will be 26.74 %. The manager explained that I could have waiting for the expiration date to pass and then my payments would have been applied to the balances I wanted. But this is not right. I want to apply the payments to the expiring promotional balances. 

I've recorded the call, and I have screen captures of my account clearly stating that these are promotional balances. 

I have already informed the manager that I will pay off the balance and cancel the credit card.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

On XXXX I sent a letter regarding inaccurate things on my credit report. it has now been 30 days and my requests have not followed up with. Section 611 ( a ) plainly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been 30 days so they should be removed promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation do the stress you called me. I was also effected by the Equifax data breach and my information may have fell into the wrong hands.
Complaint sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

I have seen this incorrect information in my credit report several times over the years. 

I have never worked at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX CA. 

Please remove that employment information from credit reports. 

Thank you
