Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: BMO Bank, N.A. (OH)

I received a letter in the mail from BMO Harris Bank in late XXXX, XXXX, that stated I had opened up a new account for a BMO Harris Bank Platinum Rewards MasterCard ending in XXXX. I had never even heard of BMO Harris Bank until this point, and was not in the market for a new credit card and did not request new credit nor apply for new credit. 

I then received in the mail a letter from BMO Harris Bank stating that a balance transfer request was made on the new account. Again, this is not something I had requested. 

I finally received a third letter from BMO Harris Bank indicating there was a {$7700.00} balance transfer on this account along with {$310.00} in fees. 

I have called BMO Harris Bank now XXXX different times to discuss this matter. All XXXX  times, they kept transferring me around to different people, finally stating that I needed to go to a physical bank branch of theirs to verify my identity so that they could close the account and mark it as fraud. However, I don't live anywhere near a branch, and find it very concerning that they let someone else open a fraudulent account in my name, yet can't seem to close the account without me driving XXXX hours to a branch. 

I have also reached out to all XXXX credit bureaus to let them know of this fraud, and have frozen my credit report until further notice so that nothing else can be done. However, my credit score has dropped significantly because of this issue.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

My account with TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Company: FIRST PORTFOLIO SERVICING INC (AR)

I contacted this company REVVI there was an inquiry from them on my credit report as I know I never applied. The credit bureaus supplied me with their phone number and when I spoke to them I found out there was an entire account recently opened under my name. I LET THEM KNOW I NEVER AUTHORIZED THEM OR ANYONE to open any accounts under my name and social and to remove that immediately. And also never lived at the address they have repeated to my credit report either attached to this account! 
Especially since I caught it early via the inquiry. 
Now weeks later they still have the account OPEN and had actually placed it on my credit report even AFTER me contacting them about the fraudulent account KNOWING that it is fraud. If they do not remove me out their system and delete this FRAUDULENT INFORMATION off my credit report I will take legal action against them as they have been TOLD already and have done NOTHING except proceeded to place account itself on my credit profile and keep the account OPEN. I willl be filing a complaint with The FTC and all other government agencies due to the unethical practices of this company, should they not remove me out their system and off my credit reports as they are supposed to.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

My consumer credit report is updating incorrectly in violation of 15 U.S.C. 1681g. I dispute the XXXX XXXX account in a Charge-off status and past due balance. Specifically, the account shows as closed and opened on XX/XX/XXXX, with a balance that was updated on XX/XX/XXXX. 1 ) Statute violation : FCRA Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). I am contesting the accuracy of this information and requesting that you remove the account from my credit report immediately. I believe that the creditor 's reporting of a charge-off account with a balance is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. According to the FCRA, a creditor is not allowed to continue to report a charge-off account with a balance. This violation further supports my request to have the account removed from my credit report.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

I tried calling, but everybody 's a robot that keeps redundantly asking the same questions and getting me to no agent, then hangs up in my face. 

There's a delay and I certainly do not need this. 
Today opening my email, I discovered some weird message, ( although Experian offers to see your credit score for free ) that I do not have a credit score or a score that is missing some points in the up direction.

I have screenshot my score on prior occasions, have 3 accounts, one paid off, that I paid off, a huge big payoff that I paid that one, that auto account closed now as satisfactory and my Mortgage in which I still pay as well as a credit card. I have enough credit to establish a score and a good one at that and my Lenders report to Experian.

If the credit score is offered for free on Experian, then I should see it from this point on as I have in the past. This certainly would not help trying to establish any future credit since Experian Vantage is what most lenders look at and also I am certainly not sure why Experian is doing this, need answers and the restoration and resolution. 

There may be typos, excuse and also I have written this email to the best of my knowledge.

On XX/XX/2023 I completed a Balance Transfer from Capital One to XXXX. I did not have my Capital One card on me at the time, so I used my virtual Capital One card number for the transfer. 
Capital One claims to have never received the payment of {$700.00} that XXXX supposedly sent them. I now owe a balance of {$700.00} on my Capital One card AS WELL as my XXXX card. Neither company will resolve the balance. XXXX took the {$700.00} onto my new card and left the {$700.00} balance on my Capital One card. 
Disputes were filed, cases were opened more than once ( by both companies ) and both companies claim the cases are closed now. I have now doubled my {$700.00} debt.
