On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (TX)

Please accept this correspondence as a complaint against online bank, Comenity XXXX XXXX  located in Missouri. The only phone number I have for them is XXXX. 
On XX/XX/2020, Comenity XXXX XXXX  was offering a one-year CD at a rate of 1.70 % the rate for a one-year CD. I contacted Comenity Direct Bank and spoke to XXXX and advised him I wanted to open four, one-year CD accounts. Three in the amount of {$25000.00} and one CD in the amount of {$10000.00} all at the advertised rate of 1.70 %. 
However, after numerous failed attempts to complete set-up for all four CD accounts on the XXXX, he put me on hold to get assistance in completing the additional accounts. When he returned to complete the transactions, he stated his supervisor advised him my application had to be approved before proceeding to complete the accounts. 
Every time I have contacted this bank, I have waited anywhere from 30-45 minutes to over an hour before I get to speak to anyone nor has any supervisors call me back the next day to follow up to discuss with me what the ops team or upper management decided on how to resolve this issue. 
Below is a log for every day I contacted the bank along with who I spoke to as well as the conversation I had with each one of the Banks employees. I also requested on two separate occasions to speak to the President or VP of the bank but was told they did not have that information or the online bank did not have a President or VP. I finally located and contacted someone at Comenity Capital Bank and the lady I spoke to said they were not associated with anyone at Comenity XXXX XXXX. I explained to her that at the end of their website it states that Comenity XXXX was a brand of Comenity Capital Bank. She apologized but she just sets up credit card accounts and knew nothing about Comenity XXXX XXXX  nor where they associated with Comenity XXXX XXXX. 
Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. 
Thank you,

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (VA)

I was subscribed to monthly payments from hand and stone spa without my permission. This began in XX/XX/2022 for {$69.00} a month. I tried to get a refund from spa itself and to stop payments but they would not stop, even after signing a termination form. Before this, when I would contact them they would either not send the termination form or say I didnt sign it, when I know I did. I then tried to dispute the charges with my credit card company, Capital One and they said it would be unlikely that I could do that. I uploaded proof that I had been scammed anyway. For this, I sent a copy of the original contract from hand and stone that I never signed, which would show that I never authorized payments. This was still not enough for Capital One and they needed additional documentation that I didnt have because it was fraudulent.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, account or item which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any account or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute item 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. I found that under section 605b ( a ) Experian shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt and it requires the following documents and statement to remove the disputed account on my file : ( 1 ) Appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) A copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) The identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( 4 ) A statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. The dispute item do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) That alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) That is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) The filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Opened XX/XX/14 Balance {$2300.00} If you feel there is a possibility this account belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ).

The Credit bureaus stated my account was properly investigation but how is that possible if the account # is inaccurate, open date is inaccurate, high credit is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is inaccurate and the payment history reported inaccurate. A total of 30 violations with 24 month payment history inaccurate. This is grounds for removal and my rights violated under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions. 
Also the credit bureaus took longer than 30 days to investigate and took longer than 60 days to reinvestigate.

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 my name. This item is UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming this is 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 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 a claim that constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute IsFrivolous 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 [ 15U.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.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NJ)

I am sending this complaint because a charge-off and collection account with XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX has hit my credit report when this account is a business account under XXXX XXXX, EIN XXXX. The issue with this is not the ownership or the debt, but the fact that a business debt that was established an paid for by the business who was also issued a Corp Code with the DMV in the State of NJ to register this vehicle, has affected my personal credit report and even though there was exceptional payment history, your company has chosen to destroy my credit rating by inaccurately reporting this account as a charge-off which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I would ask that your company furnish the document and phone records that show you have previously attempted to have me rectify this debt and also provide documentation that substantiates the debt that is being reported. I also received a letter from a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that is currently being reviewed for any violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and if there is, I would be entitled to {$1000.00} per the FDCPA and any statutory damages that I have suffered as a result of this account being reported on his credit report. The account was previously disputed and marked as resolved and accurate. But after I receive documentation of this account that shows inaccuracies, that will also mean we would have violations of the FCRA which would bring other issues.

Also keep reporting inaccurate information from account opened dates till the actual account number and more. I attached most resent results they continue to keep sending me after keep waiting XXXX days for them to finish with results. Both letters i sent copy off my drivers license and social security card and got it notarized but keep asking me to send it over and over. I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance. Despite two written requests, the unverified with NO PROOF of VERIFICATION items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly but never showed who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation of contract with my signature on it as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & amp ; Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you 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 ( Section 616 & amp ; 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law.
