Issue: Getting a credit card — Sent card you never applied for
Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation (NV)

Fortiva Credit Card, I received a notice via email I assumed was spam. I didn't apply for a credit card, my credit file was locked with XXXX and XXXX. I received a notice from XXXX and XXXX that a new credit file was added to my account. I looked into my email with the name of the credit file, Fortiva. I did see in my spam messages that this company had noted my good payment history with XXXX, a company they previously did business with, and that from my good credit history they were awarding me the opportunity to open a new credit card with Fortiva. I didn't respond to the invitation. After reaching out to Fortiva, XXXX ( employee ID # XXXX ) on XXXX at XXXX PST, he let me know i was awarded this card due to my great credit history. I let them know I closed out my XXXX account last XXXX with payment in full to XXXX, asked them then to close my account. I was confirmed that was completed. XXXX stated that my lack of response to the email automatically enrolled me into the credit agreement. I did not sign any contract, paperwork, or verbally agree to anything with Fortiva. I didn't even open the email, i assumed this was spam. Fortiva stated 45 days from the original email, no response indicated my approval to their terms and they issued the credit from there. I didn't not agree with their assumption. I did not ask for credit nor did I give my permission to credit or any terms associated with their promotional offer. I called in and had to speak with 3 employees to get them to cancel the credit card they enrolled me in. I asked them to send me a copy of my response that initiated the credit card to be opened with my information, they said they could not send me that information. I asked for the terms where i signed anything agreeing to credit, they said my lack of response was approval for their terms. I don't agree. This must have happened to thousands of others who didn't respond to a random email from a company they weren't expecting any business dealings with. I did not give XXXX permission to pass along my information for any credit card opportunities with different affiliates in the future. I need my complaint filled here.

My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

Equifax Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a Experian & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately

My account has been closed since XX/XX/XXXX. The last payment made was XX/XX/XXXX. The company has reported recent missed payments for the month of XXXX and XXXX of this year ( XXXX ). After months of disputing and sending fax and mail and all the requested documents, the problem is still there. Ive spoken to over XXXX different supervisors and not XXXX of them are able to help me. They keep saying that the " back office '' is who handles credit reporting and the only way to contact them is through fax. Every month since XX/XX/XXXX, the " back office '' or XXXX XXXX  correspondence team has promised that id have to wait until the XXXX for this account to be removed from my credit profile.They are aware that there is no way that there can be no recent activity on an account that has been closed for XXXX. Its been 5 months that I've been waiting for the XXXX, and every time the XXXX passes I call and the supervisors have no idea what I'm talking about. They then proceed to " escalate '' the matter to the back office to which then they respond by saying I have to wait until the XXXX once again. The latest update has my credit report reflecting XXXX missed payments for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. So instead of erasing this account for inaccurate and incorrect reporting, they have made the late payments as recent as possible, causing my credit score to drop over XXXX points through no fault of my own. I am seeing first progress and I need them to delete this account because what they are doing is ILLEGAL.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent. 

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.
