Life has been really hard since the pandemic hit and I need my credit report to to apply for loans but I can't get approved because these fraudulent accounts and inquiries. Please remove them ASAP. This is my last shot in life. I have reported this to the credit bureaus but they don't seem to care.

It was an unauthorized charge. They don't want to support me. So I keep disputing it. That blood money was paid in full directly to the branch manager XXXX XXXX. He can vouch for this. I have attached the proof as well. I have contacted XXXX XXXX about their situation. I have the statements proving that there was 2 years between the first charge and the one in question. They have opened another dispute about it. Also I called XXXX  bank to see if the manager was still there that I worked with. But he wasn't. They don't even know the account I'm talking about. How can they put a bad mark on my credit if they don't even have an account number??? They said they would try to help. But I'm not gon na hold my breath.
