These accounts are : XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  I believe these accounts were opened fraudulently in my name. I have never applied for, nor have I authorized anyone else to apply for credit products with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  or XXXX XXXX. 

I request that these fraudulent accounts be thoroughly investigated and removed from my credit report as they are inaccurately reflecting my credit history and negatively impacting my credit score.

15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MA)

When trying to make a payment at XXXX XXXX XXXX this morning my {$27000.00} limit XXXX XXXX XXXX  card was repeatedly declined. I had no current balance, pay my card monthly and had just processed a payment to the exact same vendor the week prior. 

The charge of {$4400.00} was flagged for fraudulent and I spent nearly 30 minutes at the animal hospital attempting to remove a block on my card via the app and calls to two different agents. Ultimately I had to use another card, just so I could leave and get on with my day. I still needed to call yet a third time a few hours later to get the block removed because the earlier attempt didn't work despite the agent saying I was all set ( after I'd left the XXXX XXXX ). 

My dog is sick and large payments to vets on this card are not unique. I'm not sure why this charge got flagged but due to Bank of America 's convoluted process for addressing the issue I was unable to apply a payment to the card for XXXX airline miles. In fact, there is nothing they can do for me now because I had to put the charge on another card. 

I'm very unhappy with the lack of resolution in this case. 

I've attached a zip file with screenshots of the texts as I was trying to remove the block as well as the form email sent after the fact. Not helpful.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem.

My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

This is in fact another complaint about Equifax and is in reference to the following XXXX already submitted complaints. Reference XXXX, XXXX, XXXX & XXXX. See these previous complaints for the full details. This complaint is for you to look at the XXXX complaints all the way back to 2021 and nothing has been done about this company and there are so many people complaining about the same thing I am complaining about. Their unprofessionalism, their fraud and the fact they are not working within the United States! This should concern whoever is reading my complaints and every person in the US including people in high ranking security levels. If they are working outside of the United States we are in a major security breach with them having access to everyone 's financial information, including all the places we have lived and currently live, and our occupations. This is a very serious matter and quite frankly could ruin the United States by them selling our information. 

I am telling you if whoever is researching this did a little digging you will find no " customer service reps '' that their first language in English?! This is a major problem and keeping a lot of people from getting credit. 

Please, Please for the love of ALL thing HOLY investigate this company thoroughly!!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is furnishing inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies. The reporting of such inaccurate information has caused severe damage to my character, my reputation, my general mode of living, and my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. XXXX XXXX charged off the account for which they recieved a tax break and did not SEND ME MY FORM 1099-C they should have sent it when they Filled the account as a canceled debt. The IRS Clearly defines a charge-off as Gross or Ordinary income, INCOME DOES NOT GET REPORTED ON THE CONSUMER REPORT which makes the reporting of the account inaccurate! By Definition, The IRS Clearly says a Cancelled debt or Charge-off is Income. The reporting of this account as a debt is inaccurate.

Not only did they do such an act, but they also sold the charged-off account to a third-party collection agency which is now harassing me to pay a debt that I do not owe them. All of this constitutes tax fraud and I will file a 3949A form with the IRS IMMEDIATELY. 

I requested original documents and procedures from XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX because they keep updating the information when disputed as verified and they did NOT provide me a copy of ANY original documentation required under 15 USC 1681g ( a ) ( 1 ) & 15 USC 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under 15 USC1681i ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA they are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified. 

As a consumer, my rights have been violated entirely, these organizations will fully and fraudulently withheld pertinent information to suit their agenda.

According to the information given to us from the Bankruptcy Court, they do not report the bankruptcies.to the credit reporting agencies, per ( 17 ) ( CFR ) ( 160.7 ) ( FG1 ). Therefore, we hereby refrain from sharing our non-public personal information. Additionally, we request that you provide us with an updated privacy policy that reflects our opt out preferences and an updated copy of our credit reports from all three ( 3 ) credit agencies. See letter from Trustee Agency below. 
*************************************************************************************************** XX/XX/2024 Dear XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, I wanted to correspond regarding our previous conversation on the credit bureaus, the trusteeship, and your completed bankruptcy case. Upon the completion of a XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy plan the standing trustee files a Final Report and Account with the Bankruptcy Courthouse. The trusteeship does not report to nor correspond with the credit bureaus. After the Trustees final report is filed with the court, the presiding judge will discharge the trustee from the case and officially close the bankruptcy. As the status of the case changes based on the orders from the corresponding judge, the updated status become available through the courts electronic records. It is often the use of these electronic court records through which relevant parties are made aware of the status of a particular bankruptcy case. In addition to the courts electronic records, each creditor listed under the bankruptcy plan is also notified by the court of the discharging and closing of the case. Some of these creditors will update their own records with the credit bureaus so that the completed status of the case is reflected.

I've learned that the creditor didn't provide the necessary 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have given me enough time to process payments and avoid late fees on these accounts.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CT)

I did not receive my bonus for opening a Merchant Services account. 
The terms and conditions were that I had to settle {$2000.00} of funds over 5 transactions according to the terms and conditions. 

I contacted Chase Bank customer service in XXXX after I settled over $ XXXX in 5 transactions. The customer service rep directed me to email the representative that opened my account XXXX XXXX. 

I tried to call XXXX multiple times last week and even left a voicemail. XXXX sent me an email describing new terms and conditions. He told me that the Marketing department requires the deposits to be made in different batches ( no language of batches or deposits described in the fine print ) According to the fine print, the requirement was to settle the funds over 5 transactions, there is no mention of batches. 

This is clearly deceptive marketing as the goalposts are being moved after I fulfill the requirement. 

Attached are correspondance and the Bank Fraud that is trying to take place.
