This is my final warning! I recently conducted an investigation into my credit report, and it left me in XXXX XXXX. I unearthed numerous unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and highly questionable items that your agency has failed to ensure are reported accurately. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, it is imperative that every detail on my credit report is 100 % accurate. Yet, it's evident that under both 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ), these accounts are blatantly violating this requirement. I am attaching copies of all previous correspondence for your immediate attention. Consider this your last chance to rectify this egregious error!

I applied to XXXX XXXX  for the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX ( using XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( using XXXX ) XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX All cards were denied for the reason of not ring able to verify my identity, for the business cards it stated my business name could not be verified. Information was provided to contact XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX in the denial letter. I called XXXX and verified with them, as they walked me through how to access my XXXX  report that the business name is correct. XXXX was wrong. XXXX, at the time of application, for All applications mention above sent me a link and I had to make a video of my face and also take a photo of the front and back of my drivers license. I did this and continue to attempt many times. There kept being an error with accepting the license. It state it was too close then too blurry I kept trying until the link timed out, I then called XXXX  bank  to report the glitch and was told Id get a letter in the mail. Once I got the denial letters I asked for another way to verify my identity I was told that u had to apply again. My credit was pulled 4 times. Im trying to build my business credit and I wanted the XXXX and XXXX cards for this. The XXXX but now pay later was a personal application. Only synchrony gives me the identity error. My credit report for all bureaus has an alert that prompts creditors to call my cell phone to verify I gave permission for a credit pull. Some companies ask for ID and proof of address to be sent via an encrypted email, Ive never had an issue verifying my identity. Its simply unfair to give me credit pulls if the link that was sent was faulty and did not work. I should be told to apply again, this isnt fair to consumers. I was told by a XXXX  bank rep that my number for my business ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) did not match my application. She informed me that XXXX XXXX was used. I asked her why the Denial letter cited XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. My XXXXinformation is correct so XXXX XXXX needs to be updated. XXXX  bank used a faulty link to verify identity it would not accept my drivers license yet I get a denial and cited for unable to verify identity. I had pre approvals for the business XXXX and commercial XXXX card

I am utterly disappointed right now, you complete disregard your own stated timeline. In your memo dated, it's explicitly stated that the results of the investigation would be provided to me within 30 days. That deadline has come and gone without a single word from them regarding the status or findings. 

This lack of follow-through and blatant failure to uphold their commitment is unacceptable. You are the bureau and you have ample time to conduct your work and there is no justified reason for this excessive delay in sharing conclusions. In your memo built an expectation that I relied upon, and your inaction represents a breach of that assurance.

I was making extra payments and they were not being applied to the next months statement. They would still send me a bill. I called them once about it and said they ca n't do that and they need to return my extra payments. They sent me a check for around {$2300.00}. They never reversed interest on the years I have been doing that. They just refunded my last few extra payments. 
It just happen again. I sent a {$500.00} payment for XX/XX/XXXX and and extra {$2500.00} that one would think would be applied for XX/XX/XXXX. I just spoke to them and they said thats how they do it. 
I would like to know why they are allowed to do this and where is the protection for the consumer from these predators.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( XXXX ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
