This is my first attempt to notify credit bureaus that I am a victim of identity theft and that I want to query certain records in my documents that resulted from the crime. The documents I'm looking at have nothing to do with any transactions involving goods, services, or money that I've made or approved. Assuming no one cares, remove any material in my credit report that was obtained through alleged fraud or extortion.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (NY)

I applied for Navy Federal Credit Union membership over the phone. As part of my application, I was read a credit report disclaimer. When I asked if this would be a hard pull or inquiry on my credit, I was told by the phone representative it would be a soft inquiry. Navy Federal performed a hard inquiry. When I received notice of the inquiry, I called Navy Federal and was told that as part of my application, I was read a disclaimer. I asked the representative to listen to the recording of my call. Upon review of the recording by back office personnel, it was determined that while I was read the disclaimer when I applied, I was also told that the inquiry would be a soft pull. Navy Federal has communicated that they will be suppressing the inquiry from my credit report and at my request, Navy Federal indicated that they will be communicating this to me in writing and that updating this with the credit bureaus can take 30 days.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

Hello, I was the victim of a blackmailing  attack on XXXX from an account under the name XXXX. This individual had compromising photos of me and demanded payment so that the photos would not be distributed on XXXX to my peers ( Im a high school student ). After all was said and done, I ended up sending {$1000.00} dollars to the scammer, with some of the transactions pending for around XXXX hours time before completing. Unfortunately, when I attempted to call the fraud department at Chase Bank less than an hour after the payments were initiated, I was informed the department was closed. The next day, my bank was able to stop one XXXX charge of {$100.00} after I went to a local Chase branch for assistance. The charges on XXXX totaling {$900.00} were still sent through. 

The first {$400.00} on XXXX went through quickly, but the other {$500.00} was pending for over a day. When I went to the bank branch in person, they opened a case and said they would see if they could cancel the payment. However, the payments went through and were never cancelled, it appears to me that the bank did not move quickly enough to cancel the charges. 

When I called the bank recently to ask why they did not cancel the pending charges, a customer service representative said that they could not cancel the charges since the money had already been sent. However, given that the charges were pending both on my chase bank app and XXXX XXXX, its evident that this was not the case. I was hoping to get reimbursed by my bank since the banks fraud department did not take my call initially and since the bank did not move quickly enough to cancel the charges when they opened their investigation the following day. Additionally, in general, I find it quite strange that XXXX does not have the same measures in place as XXXX for example. With XXXX, I was able to get my money back since they have safety measures in place to prevent scammers from stealing money in situations like this.

According to www.justice.gov, Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person 's personal data in some way that involves fraud or deception, typically for economic gain. The Department of Justice prosecutes cases of identity theft and fraud under a variety of federal statutes. In the fall of 1998, for example, Congress passed the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act. This legislation created a new offense of identity theft, which prohibits " knowingly transfer [ ring ] or us [ ing ], without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or that constitutes a felony under any applicable State or local law. '' 18 U.S.C. 1028 ( a ) ( 7 ). This offense, in most circumstances, carries a maximum term of 15 years ' imprisonment, a fine, and criminal forfeiture of any personal property used or intended to be used to commit the offense.

Schemes to commit identity theft or fraud may also involve violations of other statutes such as identification fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1028 ), credit card fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1029 ), computer fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1030 ), mail fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1341 ), wire fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1343 ), or financial institution fraud ( 18 U.S.C. 1344 ). Each of these federal offenses are felonies that carry substantial penalties in some cases, as high as 30 years ' imprisonment, fines, and criminal forfeiture.
