I'm reaching out because of Bloomingdales/ Citi bank there is a chargeoff listed on my credit reports for {$1100.00} I don't remember this account and I created an identity theft report via the Federal Trade Commission , Citi collections refuse to accept it, I've also requested the original signed contract and all statements since the account was open and was told it would take 6 weeks plus. this is outrageous, I then even offered to settle the account to be done with it, but was told I couldn't do this. seems to be against the law under The FCRA. I have asked for an address to send my documents. and was told I can only fax.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC)

Truist bought my bank, BB & T.

Unable to access my account online.

Online help unsuccessful, had to call, hold time + 1 he.

Finally got human, mentioned I recorded all calls, he refused to talk to me & hung up. 
I record to avoid confusion & miscommunication. History of head injury & XXXX disorder. 
My state, North Carolina, is a one party consent state.

It is legal here to record calls without the 2nd parties consent.

This is a problem not just for today 's issue, but also any future conversations.

As an aside, in the past, recorded conversations with other companies has proven to be a major benefit in disputes.

I personally consider one party consent laws to be both a consumer protection issue, as well as a much appreciated aid for memory & accuracy, for both XXXX & non XXXX persons.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NY)

On XX/XX/2021, I was the unfortunate victim of a XXXX XXXX data breach in which malicious actors were able to gain access to two factor authentication methods to make unauthorized charges on XXXX  customers credit cards. They did it via a method called SIM Swap. XXXX has acknowledged this but has done nothing to help me. On XX/XX/2021 I lost access to my phone connection for that evening and that was when this happened to me. Someone tried to make various purchases on a TD credit card that I havent used in quite some time. They tried making purchases at XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The dior ones were declined but for some reason they were able to successfully purchase an XXXX at XXXX XXXX and make it look like it was me. I have attached the receipt and transaction total. I immediately contacted TD to file a fraud dispute and close my card. TD says they are investigating but I also want to file this complai because TD has yet to reverse the charges. TD has told me that it is going to time to resolve the claim but i am growing increasingly concerned about the charge on my credit card for {$1300.00}. This has been a very upsetting situation for me as a single mother on a very fixed income. I am asking you for your help to recuperate my loss. I did not make this charge and I am saddened that I was a victim and potentially liable for this charge. I have sent you all the information that I have. I also went into the XXXX  store in my neighborhood and they went into my account and saw that someone infiltrated my account on XX/XX/XXXX under the guise of it being me. I have not heard anything from TD bank regarding my claim, no letters, nothing. When I call TD to ask about it they say I have to wait. In the meantime they are demanding me to make minimum payments on my credit card which I can not afford, and adding finance fees and late payments to my account. It is in dispute so they are not supposed to be adding on fees. I am suffering from XXXX because of this and am turning to you for help, please. I did not make this charge and TD has done nothing to help me. I need this charge reversed so I can move on with my life. I have attached some information that will help you make sense of this including a news article about sim swap fraud. they were able to gain access to the point that they posed as me to make a purchase at XXXX XXXX without my consent. TD allowed this charge to post. I am furious and saddened beyond belief that they allowed this to happen to me.

XX/XX/XXXX Subject : Complaint Regarding Inaccurate Late Payment Entry on Credit Report Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding an inaccurate late payment entry on my credit report that has not been resolved despite my attempts to rectify the issue. 

Account Information : Creditor 's Name : XXXX Account Number : XXXX Dates of Late Payments : XX/XX/XXXX Nature of Complaint : On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Equifax disputing a late payment reported by XXXX. I referenced the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) ( 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( b ) ) in my dispute, explaining that the reported late payment was inaccurate for the following reasons : My payment was made on time, as evidenced by my bank statements and payment confirmation receipts from my bank account, which clearly show that the payment was processed and sent before the due date.

Despite this, the late payment was inaccurately marked on my credit report.

I provided this information along with supporting documents but despite my adherence to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax have failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 
Despite providing this information and adhering to the dispute process within the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Equifax has failed to resolve this matter satisfactorily or remove the inaccurate late payment from my credit report. 

As a consumer, I have rights under the FCRA and TILA, including the right to accurate credit reporting. The continued presence of this inaccurate information is negatively impacting my credit score and financial well-being.

Requested Resolution : I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that credit reporting agencies adhere to the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Truth in Lending Act.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to your prompt response regarding the investigation of my complaint. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
