Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under XXXX. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under FCA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be claim that constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information. ( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] a person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court.

Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

I have had this card for nearly a decade and it was closed on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX to reopen the card. The agent told me a hard pull on my credit was necessary and they might reopen the card in 5-10 business days. I spoke to the complaint manager in the evening of XX/XX/XXXX and he told me they were not going to reopen the card due to adverse marks on my credit report. There is one card since XXXX with adverse information. This card was opened by a family member without my knowledge and later paid off. I have proof from the card holder XXXX stating as much. The complaint manager said I could submit documentation by mail and I will mail that off later today, but I made it very clear I was extremely dissatisfied with this service. I have had autopay on my Citi cards for years and my payments were always timely. One card not even opened by me should not be grounds for them to refuse to reopen the card I've had nearly a decade. Citi also should be required to email/call customers prior to closing accounts. I am in the process of buying my first house and this is my longest line of credit. Losing it will severely impact me negatively in that process. 

XXXX has already corrected this erroneous balance of XXXX and I have disputes with the other credit bureaus in progress.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

On XX/XX/XXXX I learned of the Equifax data breach. Not from them directly but from a news service I subscribe to. When I checked the website provided ( https : //www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/ ) I  learned that Equifax believed my data had been among the millions stolen. It was suggested I sign up for one year of free credit monitoring and would need to do so on XX/XX/XXXX. I was not going to be sent a reminder and if I missed my assigned date I would not qualify. After much research I decided my best course of action was to Freeze my credit on Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. The best I was able to accomplish was 90-Day Fraud Alert with XXXX. I am furious that a company that took it upon itself to make a profit by collecting and maintaining credit data about me WITHOUT my approval was not able to protect that data.The phone numbers provided by Equifax ( and the online Freeze/Unfreeze form ) would take all my information and then inform me it was unable to process the Freeze. Then only provided by phone the mailing address I could submit my request to, read so fast that after 3 repeats I  gave up trying to write the information down.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

I have Best Buy credit card ( Citibank ), and have been receiving harassing calls after paying my {$25.00} payment - not exactly a huge debt. 

With my husband having been recently been hospitalized, right or wrong, that small payment was last on my to-do list. Yes, I was late ; however, I took the initiative to call them directly this morning ( approximately XXXX on XXXX ) to make XXXX payments ( {$50.00} ), including the scheduling of the next. By about XXXX, I noticed I had missed another call from Citi/Best Buy with regard to my outstanding payment despite having satisfied it. In response, at XXXX, I called Citi/Best Buy again to ensure that my account was up to date, considering I received such confirmation earlier in the morning. She said all was well, and that they 'd cease the calls. 

Sure enough, at XXXX I was called again by the same number ( XXXX ). This time I explained to her that I 'd verified TWICE that my account was up to date, and that this was the second harassing call after having paid. I politely warned them not to call again, but my expectations are low. The representative, in a condescending tone, blamed it on their auto dialing system. She abruptly hung up on me after I mentioned the fair credit reporting act and my intent to file a complaint. 

As someone who worked for a XXXX XXXX institution that took its fair share of penalties a few years ago, I know there is absolutely NO reason that their so-called " dialing system '' ca n't be linked to updated account data. It 's ridiculous and rude. I 'm sure I 'll get another at XXXX and likely again tomorrow. If there is anything that can be done, I would appreciate it immensely. 

I did a little research on the toll free number I mentioned above, and saw similar complaints on XXXX notes-type sites. Apparently Citi and Best Buy are known for this. ( I have accounts with other institutions, and have not had a similar issue. ) Thank you.

My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports.

Upon reviewing my updates, incorrect information was found in my reports. The Equifax Credit Bureau has not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, and continued reporting as unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. Below are the inquiries that are reporting on my Credit Reports : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date XX/XX/2021 ; XXXX XXXX Inquiry Date XX/XX/2021 ; XXXX  Inquiry Date XX/XX/2021
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

This Medical Bill has Violated the Hippa Violations, I have no contract with you, please remove and delete off my credit report Immediately. This is Fraud and I will contact the Postal Service because I believe you are trying to fraud me out of money!
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

On X/X/2017, I was notified that there was a data breach at Equifax and that I was a potential victim according to their website equifaxsecuirty2017.com. This has put me and millions of Americans at serious risk for identity theft. I believe that a single year of free identity theft protection is not sufficient and should be extended to 5/10/15+ years depending on how much information was stolen. Equifax should also take responsibility and reimburse the affected for putting credit freezes on credit reports as well as compensation for time and money lost for getting a new SSN if needed. The company failed in protecting consumers by not responding in an urgent and responsible manner and I would like a resolution that is fair to all those affected.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Hi, I have a Citi XXXX XXXX credit card since XXXX and it had a reward points of XXXX till XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ( as per the statement email received from the Citi bank for the account ending with XXXX ) but when I tried to check online for my rewards points, all of the points were gone. 
I connected with the Citi XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for the same and the executive informed me that the card account has been XXXX and she is raising a request to reinstate the card and asked me to wait for XXXX business days. 

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I again connected with the Citi CustomerCare ( XXXX XXXX ) executive on I was informed the same that the card account has been disable and the previous request was denied, so she is raising the request again with the notes. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I again connected with the Citi CustomerCare ( XXXX XXXX ) someone called " XXXX '' and told him about my concern. He ( XXXX ) also said the same thing that the card account has been disable and the previous request was denied from the department, so he is raising a case this time ( Case Id : XXXX raised on XX/XX/XXXX ) and asked me to wait for 5 business days. 

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I again connected with the Citi XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) and narrate the entire incident to the executive. She gave the same comments and then I I asked her to transfer he call to the floor manager. The floor manager ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  from XXXX XXXX team ) informed me that the account has been inactive for the last 1 years so the rewards get forfeited and the account gets closed. 

My question before closing my account, I was not updated by the Citibank through any email or mail. How can they close my account without my consent or without informing me and forfeit my rewards points. 

So I would request your support in this matter and highly appreciated your time. 

Thanks,

Complaint sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

On XX/XX/2021 I called Jefferson Capital because they were calling my personal cellphone repeatedly and I did not know who they were at first. When I found out and called them they asked me if my phone number is ( XXXX ) XXXX and I said " no that is my work number and you guys are not allowed to call that number. '' I then gave them my personal cellphone number and told them that is the only number they are allowed to contact me at. Today, XX/XX/2021 they called my work office and spoke with my boss. They told her they are a debt collector and are trying to collect a debt from me and needed to get ahold of me and that the work number was the one they had. This was not true and I told them specifically they were not to call me at work prior to this. I called them back on my personal cellphone after my boss told me this happened and I told them that is not a number for them to call me at as it is my work and I told them before they were not allowed to call it. They said " we will note the account '' but then proceeded to call shortly after I had ended that call with them.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Ive reached out to Equifax in a recent dispute and asked for the account with XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX to be verified to its completeness and if it couldnt be to 100 % fullness ; to delete the account from my credit report. I received notification that the reinvestigation was accurately completed, but there still remained errors that werent satisfactorily verified. Credit reporting laws ensure that credit bureaus report only 100 % accurate information and that every step must be taken to assure the information is completely accurate and correct. The following information, therefore, is not. The law states that, in general, after every reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete the item of information from the file of the consumer, or modify that the item of information as appropriate based on the results of the reinvestigation. After the reinvestigation, Ive noticed that the date of last payment is incorrect and that the last due amount, actual payment amount, high credit amount, date of last activity, monthly payment, account status, creditor classification, balloon payment date, balloon payment amount, deferred payment start date, date closed, scheduled payment amount, and charge off amount remains incomplete, in which is inaccurate.
Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

I had someone steal my identity and they tried to get personal loans with two companies on XX/XX/2019.

The two companies that the loan requests were made to are : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I do n't understand how I can be submitting multiple pages of proof to the credit bureaus proving that these accounts are inaccurate and must be removed and yet, XXXX XXXX did not remove these accounts! Congress clearly states in XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX that the burden of proof is on the creditors and the credito bureaus and NOT me so how come nothing isbeing done to assist me? What other proof is required of me to show that these items are not reporting per federal law? 

I 'm attaching the lawsuit that clearly spells this out as well as my credit report and my actual disputes. I do n't understand who allows them to do this ( governement, etc. ) but this is a complete violation of my rights under the FCRA! 

XXXX XXXX XXXX You need to delete this account because its reporting so inaccurately, that I have no clue how its still on here. You didnt verify, correct or delete it, the issues are still there and you need to delete this immediately. 
Limit : XXXX XXXX XXXX/Equifax and XXXX  {$0.00} Past due : XXXX and Equifax $ XXXX {$65000.00} XXXX shows that I paid on time for XXXX XXXX an yet you show that I was late! How can that be? 
You are also still reporting late payments that make no sense! You state that I was late in XXXX of XXXX, and XXXX and XXXX or XXXX while Equifax clearly shows that I paid on time. Delete this account at once!
Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I don't know where else to turn so I am hoping your company could possibly help me. The credit reporting agencies Equifax, XXXX and XXXX are reporting information on my credit file that I believe to be past the statue of limitations. I have disputed it directly with all three bureaus and requested information directly from the companies in question but no one is providing me detailed information so I do hope by your company stepping in I can get clarification on several accounts. I really need your help and I would truly appreciate anything your company can do to get this resolved.

Hello, On XX/XX/2019, I opened a checking account and an investment account with MoneyLion Inc . The fine prints mentioned that as long as I make several direct deposits into the accounts, I will be entitled to a welcome bonus up to {$690.00}.
