I applied for a Discover credit card that was offering no interest for 21 months, I found the offer on the computer and called the company over the phone and talked to their representative, and went ahead with the offer this was in XX/XX/XXXX, and I should have had zero percent interest till XX/XX/XXXX, now I get my statement and they are charging 23 % after 6 months, I called them XX/XX/XXXX and they now claim I did n't read the fine print about the zero percent was only for transfers and that purchases are to be charged interest after 6 months, THIS IS CLEAR BAIT AND SWITCH, and was not what I was told on the phone when I got the card. How can you let them get away with this???

Despite my multiple efforts to address the presence of fraudulent, inaccurate, and misleading items on my consumer report, the issue remains unresolved. The inclusion of these items has had a profound impact on my life, causing immense stress and anxiety. It is crucial to reiterate that I never authorized any of this information to be associated with my name, as I have fallen victim to identity theft.

This is my 9th request that I have been a victim of identity theft and that no one seems to care, that I want to dispute the specific account in my credit file that does not belong to me, or that I have signed any agreement. The account I'm challenging has nothing to do with any transactions I've done or authorized to gain products, services, or money. Please remove this account immediately.

My name is XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, someone claiming to be me, opened an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX through XXXX online using my ssn, birthdate, and address which were available on the dark web after the XXXX Target breach. The person used my maiden name, XXXX XXXX, which I haven't used since XXXX and took out a loan for {$16000.00}. I called XXXX and XXXX after receiving the welcome packet for the loan saying this was not me, and they said not to worry about it as they put it in their fraud department. Later I got a letter with a late fee. I called again and they seemed to act like they understood. Then I was sent a letter from a collections agency. I called and said that this was fraud. They sent the case back to XXXX. Now XXXX is asking me to prove that it isn't my account. They asked for my identification, a dispute letter from identyTheft.gov and a note from TD Bank proving fraudulent activity. I gave them all the information, except the note from TD Bank because that is not my account. They said we looked it up and your name is on the account. TD Bank has tons of accounts with the name XXXX XXXX. I called TD Bank and they did not have any accounts open with my ssn, phone number, or address. Because my information did not match up and XXXX had only given me the last 4 digits of the account number, they could not help me. XXXX won't listen and says I have less than 30 days to prove that is not my TD Bank account or they will assume that the loan for {$16000.00} is legit. XXXX allowed a person to take out a large loan without asking for anything but a name, birthdate, address, and ssn. They did not ask for identification. I asked them and they confirmed that they don't with online loan requests.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MN)

XXXX refused to permanently remove late payments shown for three XXXX XXXX loans that I took out in XX/XX/XXXX for each of my XXXX sons. The first basis for my request for removal of one loan showing in collections and all showing several months late -- severely damaging my credit -- was that I have several private student loans being serviced by XXXX. I am currently a XXXX XXXX. When XXXX advised that my " private loans '' were in repayment, and I began a payment plan, I reasonably understood that ALL student loans that were supposedly due were included in the repayment plan. Secondly, XXXX insists that the loans were not for my children despite that my children 's names are on the loan documents as the benefactors of the loans. Third, I argued that the negative entries had to be removed, as a matter of federal law, because I was never notified that the XXXX XXXX loans were in arrears. Finally, I filed Bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX in the XXXX District of Oklahoma. Many Circuits, including the XXXX Circuit wherein the XXXX  District of Oklahoma sits, recognize that XXXX XXXX  loans are commercial loans and not student loans that are exempted from Chapter XXXX bankruptcy. My last conversation with Navient evinced their attempt to conceal that they were collecting on the XXXX XXXX loan because the agent referred to the loans by either loan number or another acronym -- never calling the loans XXXX XXXX loans. My dispute with the credit bureau resulted in XXXX removing from my credit report the XXXX XXXX loan that is supposedly 18 months or more in arrears and in collections. Within a month of that retraction, XXXX and the credit bureaus added the loan that was in collection back on my report -- -reflecting me being {$7000.00} past due. 

My primary issue is with XXXX. However, that the credit bureaus allow me ( and others ) to initiate a dispute only to resolve said dispute by taking the furnishers ' " verification '' at face value without providing me a copy of the certification furnished denies my right to due process and to further challenge the issue. I would like for the CFPB to ( 1 ) intervene in the investigation into this particularly nuanced case regarding XXXX XXXX Loans i.e. loans taken for a third party and ( 2 ) initiate an action aimed at requiring credit bureaus to make their dispute process transparent and provide the person making the dispute with a copy of the documents upon which the Bureau relied to confirm or modify the information furnished BEFORE such action is taken

I am writing to dispute an account fraudulently opened in my name. I am a victim of identity theft and did not open this account .I am a victim of the XXXX  data breach.
