I was mailed two cards from NETSPEND that were not requested by me. I was able to go through the banks online prompts to opt out of their mailing list and to deactivate one card, but could not do that same for the second card. The customer service tried to get me to activate the second card and when I would not told me to call the FTC and report identity theft. I pushed for them to close the account and after being placed on hold I was told the account was escalated and that in 5 - 7 days I could call back. It is clear they mail out cards and hope people activate them or they fail to have adequate internal controls to stop fraudulent accounts from being opened.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
