Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit while knowing there is a need to insure they exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a RESPECT for the consumers RIGHT TO PRIVACY.

The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting, and these unfair credit reporting methods undermine my public confidence which is essential to the banking system.

I never gave my expressed, written consent for these consumer reporting agencies to report my information, which violated 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and this leads to an alleged identity theft, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

I called the company XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> to settle out the account they told me I can settle the account with an amount of {$200.00} and that they would remove from my credit report. I was also told that the call was on a recorded line. Well like a week later they changed my credit report saying that I owed them a balance so I called them back and spoke to the manager and was also told that it would be corrected to what I was told on a recorded line. So now a few days after that they sent me a email stating that my account was placed on a payment plan which is not true. I want this account removed from my account or I will sent legal counsel because I know my rights and they have violated them.

On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged a return payment fee for {$29.00}. I don't agree with this return payment fee because XXXX XXXX received the statement balance payment in full and on time for that month on the due date. They would not remove this return payment fee so I closed my account out of frustration with being treated unfairly after having flawless payment history with them for nearly XXXX XXXX. I don't think I should be responsible for this fee because no payment was actually returned and they received the full payment. 

There was {$22.00} left in rewards dollars for the next statement on XX/XX/XXXX which was applied on the statement with {$0.00} in interest leaving {$6.00} balance left. I did not pay this remaining balance because they received most of their invalid return payment fee money from my rewards balance, so I erroneously assumed this small balance wouldn't be a problem. 

This {$6.00} balance ultimately caused XXXX XXXX past due negative marks on my credit score and late fees adding up to {$52.00} on the XX/XX/XXXX statement. I contacted XXXX XXXX about this and they removed the balance but would not remove this XXXX XXXX past due negative mark on my credit score that reduced it by almost XXXX points, claiming this is an accurate reporting of the account to the credit bureaus ( see attached letter ). I disagree with this conclusion and I don't think it's fair that {$7.00} reduced my credit score by this much, especially when there should not have been a balance to begin with. This is a problem caused by XXXX XXXX and unfair treatment of a customer. If you review my credit history, this is the only time in almost XXXX XXXX that there has ever been a problem and I think that needs to also be considered in this case. If this was a mistake on my part I don't think I should have to pay this dearly for {$7.00}. I have attached the statements for this narrative. 

In conclusion, I think the XXXX XXXX past due negative mark needs to be removed from my credit score ASAP.

I am filing this complaint because I have noticed several collection accounts on my credit reports that I do not recognize or have any knowledge of. These accounts are inaccurately listed under my name, and my attempts to resolve this issue with the credit bureaus have not led to any meaningful action. 
I have provided supporting documentation requesting verification and removal of these erroneous accounts, yet the credit bureaus continue to report them as valid without offering substantial proof. This has caused significant damage to my credit score and overall financial well-being, and the lack of assistance from the credit bureaus is both frustrating and unjust.
