Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

A dispute letter was sent to Experian regarding the accounts with XXXX XXXX. Experian is reporting inaccurate and misleading information on my credit file. The accounts with XXXX XXXX are in collection, yet the accounts are reporting as open on my consumer report. There were collection offers sent regarding both accounts. I sent a dispute letter to Experian and I also provided copies of the offers from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. Experian responded by stating that they will not take any action on my alleged request because it does not appear to have been sent directly by me or to be authorized by me. XXXX is also reporting inaccurate information regarding the accounts with XXXX XXXX.

Company: Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FNIS) (CA)

On XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX sent me a letter telling me they have shut down my savings account and checking account due to " suspected fraud '' from me. Which meant, I could no longer use my debit card. This incident I explained to them was not fraud committed from me and tried to resolve this issue many times, called and went in person to inform myself. After CHEXSYSTEMS not helping, I gave up and accepted I would not be able to do anything but wait the " up to five years '' that the letter had stated. Recently I called XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to inform myself on how much longer and they said until " XXXX  '' with is 3 years more than was stated in their letter. This is a terrible experience considering I have great credit and not done any fraudulent activities with my credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and which is the only thing I have left. It is genuinely saddening, all I want to do is to have my life in control again and it has felt like it wont happen because they refuse to help. This is not only affecting me, but my families living situation. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A : This law states I have the right to privacy, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX violated this 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A Section 2 : This law states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has also violated this right of mine

Issue: Getting a credit card — Sent card you never applied for
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (AZ)

I was sent a Home Depot Store Credit Card ( Account Number : XXXX ) that I didn't apply for about 4 weeks ago. The day after I received it, I called their fraud department, as on the pamphlet that came with the card, it indicated a " Fraud Protection Guarantee '' that saves me from any liability on unauthorized charges. When calling them, I spoke to a representative who said that there will be an investigation but my account will be closed and I would not be responsible for the {$600.00} balance that the card apparently had. 

Then, 2 days ago ( XX/XX/year> ), I received a letter in the mail from Home Depot regarding my fraud claim. They concluded that I am responsible for the account and the charges and that I opened the account. I never made the account nor spent {$600.00} at Home Depot with the card.

Additionally, the same day I received the Home Depot card, I received a XXXX XXXX XXXX. So, someone must have made multiple accounts in my name at both XXXX and Home Depot that day.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (NC)

I applied for a mortgage with Rocket Mortgage based on the fact that I could get Rocket Money ( based on their commercials and advertising ) for free since I would have a mortgage with Rocket Mortgage. I went through the mortgage process and was happy with the terms, etc. Roughly 1 month after purchasing the home, I was informed that I would not longer have my mortgage with Rocket Mortgage since it had been sold to a new provider-I was also told I would not have to start paying a monthly subscription fee for the Rocket Money application, which was the sole reason I chose Rocket Mortgage in the first place ( I have excellent credit and had MY choice of lenders to go with ). I feel that there has been a bait and switch or I have been duped into taking out a mortgage to get a service for free that I am now obligated to pay for if I wish to keep it. I would NOT have taken out a mortgage with Rocket Mortgage had I NOT been able to get the Rocket Money application for free. I wish to keep using the Rocket Money application but I should not have to pay for it.

It's been more than XXXX days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me.

This company appeared on my credit report as a collection account. Besides the fact that they are NOT licensed to collect debts in the State of NY, per the State 's Attorney General 's Office, I have never had an account with them, signed any applications nor contracts with them.

This company is in clear violation of the law. Under 15 USC 1681b- permissible purpose of consumer reports, THE LAW CLEARLY STATES : ( a ) IN GENERAL Subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a
consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) In accordance with the written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates.

Did I give written instructions to furnish this account on my credit report?

Furthermore, the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT 15 USC 1681 ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) Exclusions from a consumer credit report clearly states : ( 2 ) EXCLUSIONS- Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) Subject to section 1681-3 of this title, any- ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; Upon reviewing my credit report, I have found multiple inaccuracies with the reporting of this account.

As such, I kindly request that these inaccuracies be thoroughly investigated and resolved by removing the account from my credit report entirely. 
Failure to respond satisfactorily with deletions of the above referenced account from my credit report within 30 days of receipt of this letter, will result in legal action taken against your company, as in litigation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to collect {$1000.00} in damages for each inaccuracy as provided by law for : 1.
