I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (FL)

I received an pre-authorization offer for a personal loan with Discover Personal Loans through XXXX mail with a potential interest rate as low as 6.99 %, as I am a current Discover Card account holder in excellent standing and with excellent credit. 

After going through process, I was quoted an interest rate of 16.99 % - XXXX more points than the pre-authorization. 

I only had XXXX hard inquiries on my credit, before Discover. Being a Discover Card holder, I am not sure why a hard inquiry was needed, when a soft inquiry would have been sufficient. Now I have XXXX hard inquires on my credit report. 

Discover 's hard inquiry, alone, dropped my FICO score by XXXX points. I had a FICO score of XXXX before Discover did an inquiry. I am asking that the hard inquiry be removed from my credit reports. Had I known that my credit score of XXXX received an interest rate of 16.99 %, I would have never applied for the personal loan to consolidate my other credit cards ( with interest rates of 12.99 % and 10.99 % ). Nor should Discover have needed to pull my credit, seeing as I am a current customer in good standing. 

I have asked Discover to remove the hard inquiry, but am not making progress with Discover.

I checked my credit score in XX/XX/XXXX and it was in the high XXXX 's. This last week, I was applying for a construction loan and my mortgage loan originator told me my credit score dropped about XXXX points due to a charge-off from Citibank Credit. I had paid off my Citibank Card in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX balance. Citi at some point in the XXXX tacked on on {$4.00} in interest, but I did not know. They closed my account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and did a charge off for the {$4.00} which dramatically affected my credit. I had been a loyal and faithful customer since XX/XX/XXXX but this kind of practice is absolutely absurd. They should have either a ) canceled out the remainning balance on good faith since I 'd been a good customer or b ) notified me that this balance remained so I could quickly pay it off. I need this report to be corrected so that the credit agencies can bring my score back up to the high XXXX 's and I can move forward with this mortgage loan.
