According to the FAIR CREDIT REPORTING Everything has to be one hundred percent accurate on my credit report.

The credit bureaus stated my account was properly investigated but how is that possible if there is a credit sale deficiency, it is reporting that this account type as a loan when in fact, this alleged arrangement is acknowledged by the governing laws as a credit sale. This has never or will be a loan agreement in place. Under any premises were goods or money loaned to me, the alleged debtor. It is a direct violation of FCRA to knowingly furnish or report false and incomplete information. 

Also the reporting of the lateness on the credit report is in accurate, it states I was current then 30 days late XX/XX/2018, 90 days late XX/XX/2018 and the vehicle was reposed in XX/XX/2018. 
The date last reported is inaccurate, this is grounds for removal they also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 SECTION 602 A : states that I have the right to privacy 15 U.S.C 1681 SECTION 604 A SECTION 2 : states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written instructions Lastly the reinvestigation has taken more than 30 days.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (LA)

The first time the incident occurred I contacted the company, XXXX XXXX 's credit protection company via email at XXXX for assistance with my Account XXXX XXXX XXXX. As I'd signed up for the insurance protection on my account and had used the benefits previously, the most recent time of need I was denied. The company stated that I did not qualify to use the benefits once I was laid off from my job due to the fact that I worked for a temporary agency. I called and spoke with someone via phone and asked for clarification of my denial because I've worked for the temp agency for over 2 years and also when I signed up for the credit card, plus enrolled in the protection plan at the time my card was approved and opened, I was working for a temporary agency and it wasn't a problem then. I was making my payments on time and now that I needed to use the protection plan I was being denied. Upon searching for more information I found an old benefit request which was granted approved back in XX/XX/2016, I was working for a different temp agency, so why now am I being denied? If you can't work for a temp agency and utilize the benefits you're paying for that should be disclosed before offering and accepting monthly payments or enrollment for this service. If that was the case, then why did they approve my application for benefit usage during another time as a temp agency worker? The problem is that XXXX is reporting negative information to the 3 bureaus for the 2 accounts I'd had with them and they closed ( XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX & XXXX credit cards ). I've disputed both accounts and I've sent in written  explanation via USPS to all 3 bureaus yet they all came back as verified and updated within 1 week. How can an investigation be done that fast and proven ( as they say ) that my account was verified? Not fair and I am unsuccessful as trying to get this problem resolved, please help.

Request for Assistance in Resolving Credit Karma Fraud and Recovering Stolen Funds Dear CFPB I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your assistance in resolving a distressing situation involving fraudulent activity on my Credit Karma MONEY account and the subsequent loss of a significant sum of money from my account. Despite my best efforts to resolve the matter directly with Credit Karma, I have encountered significant hurdles and lack of cooperation in recovering my stolen funds.

I recently discovered unauthorized transactions and fraudulent activity on my Credit Karma account, which resulted in a total loss of {$4000.00} small transactions. I reported this incident to Credit Karma and initiated the necessary steps to address the identity theft issue. However, I have encountered great difficulty in receiving the appropriate support and resolution from Credit Karma 's customer service team.

Credit Karma has informed me that they will not proceed with my case, citing " verified purchases '' as the reason. However, I want to emphasize that these purchases were not made by me, and I strongly believe that they are a result of identity fraud. I have diligently reviewed my financial records and personal information, and I can confirm that I did not make these transactions nor authorize anyone else to do so.

Despite my repeated attempts to provide evidence of the fraudulent activity and my numerous requests for assistance, Credit Karma has been unresponsive and unwilling to investigate the matter further. This has left me in a deeply frustrating and vulnerable position, as I am now faced with not only the loss of a substantial amount of money but also the potential long-term consequences of identity theft.

I am reaching out to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with the hope that you can intervene on my behalf and help facilitate a resolution to this matter. I kindly request your assistance in investigating this case and ensuring that Credit Karma takes the necessary steps to address the identity theft and refund the stolen funds to my account.

Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of relevant documents, including the unauthorized transaction records, correspondence with Credit Karma, and any other pertinent information that may aid in your investigation.

I greatly appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to consumer protection. I sincerely hope that with your intervention, we can bring about a swift and just resolution to this distressing situation.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and guidance on how to proceed further.

Sincerely,
