I have had several bank accounts that I found out were frauded. The person who I was dating hacked my phone and was doing fraudulent activities with my bank accounts, XXXX XXXX and my credit cards. I have never had any fraudulent activities problems with my bank accounts, credit cards, etc until recently. I found out he was making transactions such as XXXX transactions to my bank account and then sending the money through my XXXX, which was also closed out. I had not given any authorization for this to be done. I also found out he was doing the same thing with my credit cards. I have my passwords and other information saved in my phone and he hacked my phone to get this information. It was not me doing the transactions. I could not figure out why my accounts keep getting closed until I decided to ask the last bank why they were closing my account. They said due to XXXX activities they were deciding to close my account. I had not done any XXXX activities so when I went in and looked at my XXXX, XXXX XXXX  and credit card activities, I realized that he was doing these things with my accounts. Now I feel I'm being punished for his actions. I will admit that I may not have paid off my credit cards or bank what I owe them, but I have never done fraudulent activities. You can look at my credit history with my credit cards, bank account, etc. I'm asking that you please take this information into consideration and remove this information which has prohibited my in keeping or getting a new bank account. I now have to use pre-paid debit cards, which I have not had in a longer time. I was told by banks that I could never open up a bank account with them again, which now I understand why I was being told this. Thank you. 
The banks were XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  and Truist Bank

I see some items on my credit report that I dont know. It looks like someone might have stolen my identity because I didnt approve these accounts. Ive talked about this before, and now Im asking for these accounts to be taken off my report quickly. Having these accounts on my report is causing me stress. They dont show my real credit history or how I handle money, and its been hard dealing with this. If we cant fix this, Im ready to go to court to protect my rights and find a solution. These wrong items on my credit report are a big problem for me. Theyre stopping me from reaching important money goals, like buying a house and supporting my family. I hope we can fix this problem soon.

I am writing to dispute an unauthorized inquiry that has appeared on my credit report without my consent. According to my recent credit report obtained from Equifax, there was an inquiry made by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on without my knowledge or authorization. As per my understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other relevant consumer protection laws, this action on XX/XX/2023 violates my rights as a consumer.

I would like to bring to your attention that I did not provide any authorization or permission to XXXX XXXX XXXX or any affiliated entities to perform a credit inquiry or access my credit report. 

As a result of this unauthorized inquiry, my credit file has been affected adversely, potentially impacting my credit score and overall creditworthiness. The unauthorized inquiry has the potential to have far-reaching consequences on my financial credibility, which is a serious matter that requires immediate rectification. 

I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter and the removal of the unauthorized inquiry from my credit report. Moreover, I am entitled, under the FCRA, to receive documentation verifying the legitimacy of this inquiry within 30 days of this dispute. 

I kindly request that Equifax and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX investigate this matter promptly and provide me with written confirmation of the removal of the unauthorized inquiry from my credit file. Additionally, I request that any adverse effects on my credit score or creditworthiness due to this unauthorized inquiry be rectified.

My mortgage loan with XXXX XXXX was in forbearance from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. At that point when it ended, I was assigned a SINGLE point of contact by the name of XXXX XXXX. He initiated me to contribute forms I needed for loss mitigation to assist with mortgage payments. I have sent forms to them multiple times, 2 to be exact via fax and they somehow never received them. I have had to send forms via fax and mail, for them to only say they don't have it. Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX received the documents and starts his review. XXXX was aware I had an alternate address but did not tell me that I needed a letter or explanation. He also had me send the wrong documents for the wrong program. They stated via phone that XXXX had placed me in the wrong program. For months we are attempting to apply to a program that I was never to be placed into. XX/XX/XXXX, I sent another letter detailing explanation of address, and emailed XXXX to please tell me if anything else is needed as he stated before nothing else was needed. After complaining and changing out point of contacts to XXXX XXXX, they approved a loan modification XX/XX/XXXX. I say this all to say they have reported late payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I was dealing with someone, an employee of theirs ( XXXX XXXX, who not very helpful or clear on which program he had placed me in.
