Aqua Finance open an account in my name without my consent using false information. I never authorized Aqua Finance to pull my credit nor did I sign a contract. The information listed on the contract is not correct. They listed my military rank and salary wrong on the application and I never signed the contract. I have reached out to them on several occasions to have this information remove off my credit report. I contact a XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX about my credit been pulled and she couldn't locate my account but told me to call XXXX Ext XXXX. I was told if I filed a police report this would remove the account off my report. I filed a police report Case # XXXX and sent this information over and the report is still showing on my credit causing my score to decrease. The electronic signature was not done by me and I never spoke with a representative or the person listed XXXX XXXX, about pulling my credit or trying to establish credit for me. I have been working on my credit and I wouldn't allow someone to pull just my credit. On the contract XXXX XXXX listed my military rank as an XXXX XXXX  and I'm an XXXX XXXX  He listed my gross salary at {$5000.00} which is also incorrect. I would never claim to be of rank that I haven't earned in the military that's a frown on my Integrity. Also, I joined the military XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX show on this contract that I've served for 18 years. XXXX XXXX listed my husband as Retired military and gross salary XXXX. My husband has never served in the military. He's received SSI monthly. On the contract he listed him as XXXX XXXX XXXX and my husband doesn't have a middle initial. All this Information is incorrect and XXXX XXXX never spoke with me about my military career, salary or if he was authorized to pull my credit. The signature on the contract wasn't signed by me and I had no knowledge of this account until I received an alert that my credit was pulled.

Complaint sub-issue: Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer

I bought a visa prepaid visa gift card for {$100.00} plus a {$5.00} activation fee at Kroger in XXXX, TN on XX/XX/21. The cashier gave me the receipt and activation receipt. Later that day when I went to use the card I found out it declined. I called the provided number on the back of the card at XXXX to find out the card had never been actually loaded by the card. They advised I go back to Kroger. I immediately went back to Kroger and Kroger advised that the card was loaded properly since it did have an activation receipt. I called again the XXXX number on the visa card and they said that I could submit a fax of the activation receipt, Kroger receipt, front and back of the gift card and fax it to XXXX, which I did immediately at XXXX XXXX. They said that this occasionally happens and that as long as I had proof of activation, it would be resolved through their end ( the prepaid gift card company ). I called the XXXX number on the back of the card multiple times over the next few days and every time was told that it was being investigated by their team. Eventually, I was told they lost the fax I sent and that I need to send it again and start a new process, wait 3-5 more business days etc. I have spent HOURS/DAYS of my life now trying to get this resolved and can not keep going through this cycle of false information they keep feeding me.

Complaint sub-issue: Information is not mine

I disputed an address I have n't had since the XX/XX/XXXX which tied me to an erroneous collections item, which I also disputed. I received a letter back from Equifax agreeing to delete the address I lived at over 30 years ago with my ex-wife ; however, they said the collection item was still mine. The collection item was with XXXX XXXX and their XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX I explained that for the last 27 years, I lived in XXXX, XXXX with my wife and then moved XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX, XXXX. Unless there is an issue of someone using my social security number, there is no way this account can be tied to be based solely on me living there XXXX some years ago with my ex-wife. I have tried to resolve this issue with XXXX, the collections agency and the credit bureau but to no avail. XXXX XXXX, Executive Customer Relations, XXXX, XXXX XXXX recognized that the social security number on the account did not match mine.

'' Also to be noted, there have been several XXXX addresses and an XXXX, XXXX address added to my credit report since these collection items have been added to my report. I suspect they are now blending my file with someone else 's. In any case, I will continue to pursue this error. I have XXXX so I can ill afford to pursue a legal remedy as my next course of action, but I have successfully gotten help from my Congressional Representative in the past and will likely pursue this avenue next. I 'm hoping though that your Agency can resolve this since your role is to oversee the fair practices of the Credit Bureaus.

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

EQUIFAX I have sent certified letters on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX asking them to remove the unverified accounts listed here : ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$600.00} and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$300.00} ), that remain on my credit report in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681. They are required under the FCRA to have properly verified the accuracy of an account listed on my credit report. In the results of each of their re-investigations, they stated that they verified that these items are being reported correctly. 

Where are the documents that they used to verify these accounts? What is the name of the person in their company who verified these accounts? What documents did they use to verify them? I have asked them to provide me with the name of that individual, their business address, and telephone number. 

XXXX Law Dictionary, 9th Edition, 2009, defines Verify as, 1 ) " To prove to be true ; to confirm or establish the truth or truthfulness of ; to authenticate. '' 2 ) to confirm or substantiate by oath or affidavit ; to swear to the truth of. '' and Verification as, Confirmation of correctness, truth or authenticity, by affidavit, oath, or deposition. Affidavit of truth of a matter stated and object of verification is to assure good faith in averments or statements of a party. 

This means that their company must be willing and able to produce a document in their files that proves the account ( s ) in dispute belong to me and the information being reported is accurate and they must be able to do this in a court of law if I file a lawsuit against them. Someone in their company must authenticate the documents in their files that were used to verify the disputed accounts and to do this they must have 1st hand knowledge of the alleged account ( s ) and all that has ever transpired for the alleged account ( s ), under oath and under the penalty of perjury. 

As I am sure that they are well aware, current Federal case law states that, Consumer Reporting Agencies bear grave responsibilities to ensure the accuracy of the accounts they report on and their responsibility must consist of something more than merely parroting information received from other sources. The Courts have also ordered that a Reinvestigation that merely shifts the burden back to the consumer and the credit grantor can not fulfill the obligations imposed by 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ). 

They have ignored my requests to provided me with the documents that they have in their files that they used to verify the disputed accounts which means that they have NOT verified or they can not verify any of these accounts and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA they are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent noncompliance ( Section 617 ) if they fail to comply with this Federal Law
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint sub-issue: Can't close your account

Reason : 1. Get U.S. Bank written approval letter for purchase gift card on XXXX XXXX. The account was closed on XXXX because I purchase gift card. Request : The U.S. Bank ( the Bank ) has closed my credit card account because " excessive or patterned purchases of cash equivalent '' in Cardmember Agreement, but the define of " excessive or patterned '' are not clearly stated. A large number of account closed cases indication that the Bank is not ready to issue high return rate credit card, but they ca n't change terms in first year because law prohibit, so it looks the Bank try to using fuzzy Cardmember Agreement terms to evade its own legal responsibility and fraudulent to user deserved Rewards, these term allow the Bank can arbitrarily close the account and refuse to pay any of legal customer rewards. For example, they can say {$1.00} is " excessive '' amount, so close the account. Moreover, for a frequency business travel in between of two city, the ticket full price always same, so they can say it is " patterned '' Futher, the maximum amount of gift card is {$500.00}, so if user necessary totally {$1000.00} gift card, the user have to split purchase into two of {$500.00}, they also can say it " patterned ''.
If you wanted, we can find more similar scenario. In my case, my business trip need booking over {$3000.00} tickets per month, so I think {$2000.00} is not a large amount for my personal business travel ( please remember, the Bank give my {$21000.00} credit limit ). For avoid risk, I contact the Bank customer services to explain why and how to use these gift card in before more purchase, the Bank written approved these gift card purchase, but the Bank suddenly closed my account after I purchase gift card. I am heared many similar stories in near days ( for example, my friend 's account was closed because he purchase a XXXX {$2000.00} laptop with his U.S. Bank credit card ). I was request them answer above details by help OCC help in XXXX, but the Bank are arrogant not to answer, the Bank simple response as " decision was unchange '', I have reason to believe that the Bank did not read the above questions before response to OCC. I would like request CFPB to review these Cardmember Agreement to save more victims, and I also want the Bank to release explain the specific definition of " excessive or patterned '' ( and all of fuzzy terms ) to the publlic field, and also mail it to every customer to avoid the Bank abuse on Cardmember Agreement.
