Recently, I noticed that I am starting to receive collection mails from banks. I called and asked what is going on, and I was told that there are several accounts opened last year with my information. I told them that I have never submitted any types of application to their companies. They asked my address, email address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, and name. Surprisingly, Some of cards mailed to my business addresses, and some of them were mailed to my home in the state of GA. However, I never received those cards before. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, so I couldn't check my mailbox everyday. Maybe someone got access to my mailbox and took the card after they applied for it. But that does not mean that I am responsible for these cards ' payments and outstanding balances. I already informed what is happening, and I also submitted FTC report to Experian, XXXX, and XXXX. It has been about few months now, but I see no changes in my credit report. As a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in other state this year, but with current status of my credit report -- full of credit cards that I have never applied for -- I can't even get any commercial loan. I am not sure what my credit bureaus are doing, but although I submitted all documents they requested ( copy of my driver 's license, social security card, utility bill, and FTC report ), I see no efforts of my credit bureaus. Everything remains same, no updates, nothing. My most recent dispute case closed with the result of " these are correct information '' did not explain anything. I don't know what kind of document or verification document they received from credit card companies, but I never got a chance to look at it. I asked if they can send me a copy of what they have, but they rejected my request and said : unfortunately we can not provide you any documents from creditors due to privacy information. Well, they started dispute case because they were able to verify that I am the one who submitted these disputes. Then how come they can not provide me any proof for privacy issue? Representatives said that they sent out a mail explaining everything, but the result letter did not explain anything. I just saw a letter saying their investigation concluded as " they are all correct information. '' BUT HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO AGREE WITH INVESTIGATION RESULT WITHOUT ANY PROOF? I don't even know how identity thief obtained my information, what kind of information was submitted. I can't understand or agree with their process of investigation. As a result, they made me come to you ( CFPB ) and to ask for help with my current status. I never applied for any credit cards with these companies.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Re : SYNCB/LOWES XX/XX/2023 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to inform you that I am deeply concerned about an unauthorized inquiry that you made on my consumer report. As a responsible consumer, I believe that it is essential for companies to respect the privacy and security of their customers ' personal information. However, it has come to my attention that you obtained my credit bureau report without my permission or a permissible purpose, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681b. 

I have not initiated any transactions with your company, nor do I have an account with you for review or collection purposes. Therefore, there is no valid reason for you to access my credit report. Your actions amount to a violation of the FCRA, which is punishable by law, and I am prepared to take legal action if necessary. 

According to the FCRA, any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined, imprisoned, or both. Your actions not only violate my privacy rights but also put me at risk of identity theft. 

I demand that you remove the unauthorized inquiry from my credit report immediately. Moreover, I am willing to settle your civil liability damages for the violation of my privacy rights for {$1000.00} pursuant to FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681n. If you fail to comply with my request and refuse to settle the matter by making payment in the amount of {$1000.00} within ten ( 10 ) calendar days of receiving this notice, I will seek actual damages, which are greater than {$1000.00}. 

Please send payment immediately via certified funds to XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably without the need for legal action.

" I was shocked and devastated to see credit inquiries without my knowledge. I have reached out to the creditors to ask the following but they have FAILED to provide such.

Inquiry Details : Ask the creditor to provide specific details about the inquiry, such as the date it was made, the purpose of the inquiry and the type of credit product or service associated with the inquiry. 
Application Documentation : Request copies of any credit applications or other documents related to the inquiry. This may include application forms, agreements, or disclosures that you would have completed or received when applying for credit.

Authorization Documentation : Ask the creditor to provide evidence of your authorization for the inquiry. This could include signed consent forms, agreements, or disclosures that demonstrate you provided permission for the creditor to access your credit report.

Communication Records : Request copies of any correspondence or communication between you and the creditor regarding the inquiry. This may include emails, letters, or notes documenting your interactions with the creditor.

Internal Records : Ask the creditor to provide internal records or notes related to the inquiry, including any decision-making processes or reasons for initiating the inquiry.

Identity Verification : If identity theft is a concern, request verification measures taken by the creditor to confirm your identity before initiating the inquiry. This may include verification of personal information or identity documents provided during the application process.

On XX/XX/2023, I sent a letter to the three credit bureaus concerning several accounts that were fraudulently reported and must be removed from my credit report. Unfortunately, I have not received any response from the credit bureaus so far. According to the 15 U.S. Code $ 1681c-2, a consumer reporting agency is required to block the reporting of any information in a consumer 's file that the consumer identifies as resulting from alleged identity theft within four business days of receiving such information. It has now been 30 days, and the credit bureaus are in clear violation of this law, as I am a victim of identity theft. 

I urgently request the immediate deletion of these fraudulent accounts from my consumer report. These accounts should not be furnished on my report, as they are in direct violation of my rights as a federally protected consumer. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b, the permissible purposes of consumer reports do not apply in this situation, as I never provided any written consent to any consumer reporting agency to report such information on my consumer report. This lack of consent constitutes identity theft, and it is my right as a consumer to have these accounts removed immediately. 

I expect prompt action on this matter to rectify the violation of my rights as per the law. Your cooperation in resolving this issue promptly will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

AMEX is refusing to investigate and reverse a charge on my credit card for which I have received NO services/goods from the so-called merchant. AMEX is discriminating against me as a minority. During a call that was recorded with an AMEX agent, the AMEX agent made disparing remarks about me and discriminated against me- including making statements about my job ( even though I never advised the agent what I do for an occupation ). AMEX should not discriminate against minorities.
