On XX/XX/2023, I received a call from XXXX Bank, calling to confirm if I had submitted a new credit card application. I informed them that I had not, the lady on the phone was very nice and stated that they would send a report to the credit bureaus to erase the hard-inquiry. 

On XX/XX/2023, I received an email from XXXX congratulating me on my new credit card. I immediately called XXXX and informed them that this was a continuation of the identity theft, and that this was not me. They immediately closed the account, and again, stated that they would have the hard inquiry pulled from my credit report. 

I check my credit report on XX/XX/2023 on Experian, and they still have these hard on my credit report. The other credit bureaus, do not have this hard inquiry on my credit report.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of utmost importance regarding my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I have identified several unauthorized accounts that have negatively impacted my creditworthiness. I strongly believe that these accounts are the result of identity theft and require immediate attention and resolution. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX - XXXX and XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I want to clarify that I have not initiated or authorized these accounts in any way. These accounts have been fraudulently opened without my consent or knowledge. I have also attached a copy of the Identity Theft Report filed with the FTC for your reference. 

I kindly request that you conduct a thorough investigation into the validity of these accounts and take the appropriate actions to remove them from my credit report as they are not the result of any legitimate transaction or credit application made by me. 

Confirmation that you have initiated an investigation into these accounts. 
Copies of all documents and evidence related to these accounts, including the application and any supporting documentation.

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.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records. Please block/remove these items.

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (VA)

Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to file a formal complaint against Discover regarding the recent closure of my credit card account ending at XXXX. I am deeply concerned about the unfair and inaccurate actions taken by Discover, which have not only caused unnecessary stress but also put my credit score and financial stability at risk. 

I have been a loyal customer of Discover for XXXX years and have consistently maintained a strong payment history with them. However, On XX/XX/2023, I encountered an unexpected issue when attempting to use my Discover credit card through XXXX XXXX. To my surprise, the card was not functioning on the platform. This prompted me to contact Discover 's customer service to seek clarification regarding the matter. During the conversation, I was informed that my credit card account had been closed due to miss payments for the last two months. I immediately contacted Discover 's customer service to address this issue and clarify the situation. 

Upon speaking with their customer service representatives, I was informed that the payments were returned due to insufficient funds in my bank account. This information contradicted the reality of my financial situation, as the payments were indeed deducted from my account on the specified due dates. To further validate this, Discover reached out to XXXX XXXX, the financial institution from which the payments were made, and confirmed that the payments had been received and processed promptly. 

I firmly believe that the closure of my credit card account was unjustified and based on incorrect information. I have diligently upheld my financial responsibilities and made consistent payments on time. It is disheartening to see my efforts to maintain a positive credit history undermined by this incident. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action to rectify the situation. I am seeking the reopening of my Discover credit card account, as well as a correction of any negative impact on my credit score resulting from this unjust account closure. It is my hope that this complaint will help shed light on the questionable practices and decision-making of Discover, and prevent other consumers from facing similar issues in the future. 

I have attached supporting documents, including bank statements showing the timely payments made and correspondence with Discover 's customer service representatives. I am more than willing to cooperate fully with any further inquiries or information required to resolve this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will uphold its commitment to consumer rights and fair business practices. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
