I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Please be advised this is my SECOND COMPLAINT and FINAL WARNING that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the FCRA to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance.

Despite two written requests, the unverified items listed below still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ). Please be advised that under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Sometime in XXXX I completed a loan application with Transform credit. There was not an option for a " cosigner '' to input their information, they instead have to complete a separate application. Therefore there is no cosigner, this is misleading information. Secondly, they have a signed promissory note already but is withholding my funds. Third, they continue to draft my account despite XXXX not releasing the funds for the loan and me calling them and stating they did not have my permission to do that and I needed to be issued a refund.

Re : Cease and Desist Letter Pursuant to XXXX XXXX Dear Kohls I am writing this letter to formally demand that you cease and desist from any further activities or actions that involve my name, signature, or personal information in connection with any contracts or agreements, in accordance with 15 USC, Title 15, Chapter 41, Subchapter I - Consumer Credit Protection. I am exercising my rights under 15 USC 1602, which defines my Social Security Number as the source of credit used in transactions, thereby making it the basis for any financial agreements entered into.

It has come to my attention that my signature has been utilized without my knowledge or consent in various contracts and agreements. Furthermore, I have reason to believe that these actions are related to unauthorized use of a credit card, which is prohibited by 15 USC. This serves as formal notice that I am rescinding my signature from all contracts associated with these fraudulent activities.

I would like to emphasize that under 15 USC, the credit card referenced is intended for personal use and is not associated with any credit lending or loaning activities. Any representations made to the contrary are inaccurate and, as such, violate my rights and protections under federal law. 

I hereby request that you : 1. Cease any further use of my signature, personal information, or Social Security Number in any contracts, agreements, or transactions.

2. Immediately provide me with any and all documentation, records, or evidence related to the contracts or agreements in question.

3. Confirm in writing, within 10 days of receiving this letter, that you have ceased the unauthorized use of my personal information and have taken appropriate steps to remedy this situation.

4. Return to me all monies paid into or reported on my credit report under 15 U.S. Code 1635 ( b ) within the 20 days specified by law.

Failure to comply with this cease and desist letter will leave me with no option but to pursue legal remedies available to me under the law, including but not limited to seeking injunctive relief and damages.

This letter is not intended to be a complete or exhaustive statement of my rights, remedies, claims, or defenses. I expressly reserve all rights and remedies available to me under the law.

I expect your immediate attention to this matter. Please consider this letter as a final opportunity to resolve this issue amicably and without further legal action. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within the stipulated time frame, I will have no choice but to seek legal redress in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 

Sincerely, All Rights reserved XXXX XXXX XXXX estate Signature on file

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (FL)

Every day ( and sometimes multiple times per day ) I receive phone calls from numbers with seemingly random area codes. 
I am currently looking for a job and can not afford to screen my calls in case one of them is a prospective employer. These calls come in at very inopportune times, often waking me up or waking up my partner who works overnights. I also have relatives with declining health and am an emergency contact for many of my loved ones. I often do contract work that requires me to be on call, and if I do not answer the phone I will lose my contract. 
Having to run out of church to answer my phone is very embarrassing and disrespectful. Getting unnecessary calls while at work looks unprofessional. Interrupting our sleep is affecting our mental health. Every time a number calls that I do not know my heart drops because I am terrified something has happened to a loved one, or that there has been an emergency of some sort. 
To top it off, the callers will remain on the line long enough until a voicemail is left on my phone, which causes the box to be full constantly. If I forget to clear it, I miss valuable and potentially life changing information. 
I have asked these people to stop calling me, and it has been going on so long that I no longer remember which companies are calling me and what the call is about, because if I ask for the purpose of the call, they respond by first asking me to identify myself. If I do not identify myself without knowing the nature of the call, they state that they will try again later, or simply hang up. 

Here is a short list of numbers that have called me, with dates/times : XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Basically this has been going on for a year or two and if they really want my money they should stop interfering with the activities that actually EARN that money. I'm not sure what other information I can pass along that could help and I wish I could remember the specifics about who these people are and what they want but after everything they have put me through I have long since given up on the matter.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CT)

I spent 3 hours on a chat with two representatives from Citi to understand why I had been charged interest on purchases made within my current billing cycle. To provide background, I transferred {$7000.00} at 0 % through XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. This billing cycle ended on XX/XX/XXXX, with a due date of XX/XX/XXXX, and I made a {$1000.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Additionally, I enrolled in a special rate offer of 3.99 % on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  through XX/XX/XXXX. 

During the billing cycle of XXXX  I made several purchases totaling {$3000.00}. The due date for this bill is XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  ( I have made {$3100.00} in payments prior to the due date ). When reviewing my bill, I noticed I was charged {$6.00} in interest. The interest is based on a balance of {$1700.00}. 

When chatting with a representative, XXXX, and the supervisor, XXXX, I was given different answers as to why I was charged interest. I was told I was charged interest for not paying off my balance transfer in full. I was told I was charged interest because I made a payment before the statement was generated. I was told the purchases were made before I enrolled in the special rate offer. Lastly, I was told I was charged because I took advantage of the balance transfer offer, subjecting me to interest on all purchases. It is apparent that I still don't understand why I was charged interest on {$1700.00} or what that amount represents. 

My questions are : 1. What is the {$1700.00} balance that was charged interest? 
2. Why was I charged interest on purchases made during the billing cycle?

3. Is any of the information that was provided to me true? 

Being charged interest immediately upon using the card is deceptive. Additionally, I feel the supervisor did not take my concerns seriously. The information received lacked detail and was inconsistent. Furthermore, when I asked to speak to a supervisor or have a contact number to continue this conversation, I was told to call the Customer Service line to start this all over again. I've been a Citi customer for 15 years and have never been treated this way. I am appalled and disappointed. Yet the supervisor asked me to treat the service I received today as an exception!

All of this is documented in a chat which I expect Citi has retained. I have screenshots of the conversation available upon request. I look forward to a response.
