I am making a request to have All Closed accounts on ALL 3 credit reporting agencies : Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX, DELETED from their databases. 

All three credit reporting agencies have not deleted items off my report since I have requested multiple times for them to do so as they have not provided me the Original Signed Documents for any of the accounts that are listed and would allow them to report any of the accounts on all 3 reporting agencies.

items are past or near statute of limitations and bare no such right to be on my reports at all as accounts are Old, Closed, and have not been deleted and resolved upon my previous requests. 

I have attached the disputes I have sent to them showing details of dates, names of accounts etc.. that need to be deleted immediately.

I have submitted a report to the FTC regarding the unauthorized credit inquiry ( XXXX XX/XX/2022 ), which are a clear violation of my consumer rights. I have disputed this inquiry with Equifax, providing evidence and documentation to support my claim that I did not authorize this inquiry and that they are inaccurately listed on my credit report. Despite these actions and the clear provisions of the FCRA, Equifax has failed to remove the unauthorized credit inquiry from my credit report, stating that they are accurate. This response is not in compliance with the FCRA, and it undermines the protection of my consumer rights. I am writing to request that Equifax takes immediate and corrective action to address this issue in compliance with the FCRA. Attached you will also find my ID, and Proof of Address with my most recent bill.

XXXX, XXXX and Trans Union credit agencies have all failed to take a fraudulently opened credit line off my report and adjust my credit. There was a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that opened in XX/XX/2022 that was opened without my knowledge. I called XXXX and they said they would close the account due to fraud and would contact the credit agencies as well. I dont believe they did that but I did open cases with each of the credit agencies. They all came back and said that they found the account to be open legitimately. I dont know what they check because if someone stole my identity, it would look legitimate wouldnt it? But the XXXX credit account was used to purchase merchandise in the state of CT but I live in NJ. The merchandise was never picked up at the store and the company has a policy that auto returns the goods after 5 days if they have not been picked up. Obviously purchasing pick up items in another state is clearly a sign this is fraud. I placed freezes and locks with all the credit agencies but they all still wont fix my credit and delete that account from my profile. Its not my account, it was identity theft and nobody has sent me anything in the mail for me to report this to the police. I want this XXXX account off my credit profile and the inquiries that were made to be reversed. There was also an attempt at XXXX XXXX XXXX to take out a credit card but the card was declined.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

I accidentally mailed a {$720.00} check that was made payable to my babysitter to Capital One. On XX/XX/22, Capital One cashed {$720.00} check, which caused my bank account to be overdrawn and for me to incur overdraft fees, as well as some late fees on other bills. 

Upon, realizing they check that was not made payable to Capital One had been cash by Capital one, I called their customer service to address the issue. Explained the issue to one agent, she didnt understand the situation and kept thinking that I had made the check out to Capital One but had wrote the wrong amount. When I finally got her to understand the situation she said all they could do was refund me the {$720.00}, but that it would take between 10 to 15 days to process and mail me refund check. While I was on the phone with the agent, we had to call the bank that just purchased my bank to confirm that the check had actually been cashed. When it was confirmed, she again told me that all she could do was give me the refund. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with her, then she transferred me to another agent and told me that he would know about the situation. 

When I got the the 2nd agent, he didn't have a cool as to why I was calling or anything about my situation, and did the same thing as the 1st agent. So, I had to explain it all again, and he told me all that could be done was they could refund me and it would take 10 to 15 days to process before they would maile me a check. When I told him I had already spoken to an agent about this, he said " Okay, have a nice day '' then hung up. 

When I called back I talked to a 3rd agent, explained the situation and they quickly transferred me to a 4th agent, named XXXX. I explained the situation to him, he told me that Capital One would refund me the money but that it would take about 20 days before I would get my money. Irritated I said okay, and then asked waht Capital One would do to help with the overdraft fees and late fees I incurred since they had cashed the check that wasn't made out to them. He said that the company wiuld do nothing, but he would give me a {$25.00} credit on my Capital One account for my trouble. I asked if there was nothing better that he could do, he said no. I asked if I could speak to a manager or someone high up the chain of command, he said he was as high as I could go. I asked if he could give me the company legal department 's number, he said that they don't have a number. XXXX asked again if there was nothing better than a {$25.00} credit and if I could get the number to legal, he said " No, and if there is nothing else have a nice day. '' So, I hung up the phone. 

I just don't understand how Capital One cna cash a check that wasn't made payable to them, then make me wait around XXXX to 20 days to get my money back and all they can do is give me a {$25.00} credit.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my gratitude for your prompt action in deleting certain fraudulent accounts from my credit report. However, I am also writing with deep frustration and disappointment regarding the unresolved issues that persist on my credit report, which continue to have a negative impact on my financial life. 
However, my frustration arises from the fact that despite the removal of some fraudulent accounts, several others remain on my credit report, despite my repeated attempts to dispute them. These remaining fraudulent accounts continue to damage my creditworthiness and hinder my financial opportunities. It is disheartening to see that these discrepancies persist, even after providing clear evidence of their fraudulent nature.

Company: Comerica (TN)

The bank allowed a company to take monies out of my account without my authorization. It was on XX/XX/2018. It was 2 transactions on same day. I do have loan with the company and granted I was late paying but never authorized to take any money out of my account. I NEVER made ANY payments with my debit card. I ALWAYS went into store and paid with cash. They only had my account number for proof of income. Also, the bank allowed them to take money totalling more than my payments would have actually been. When I filed dispute with bank, at first the representative seemed to be stalling me by saying they never received my dispute on document ( which I mailed back immediately ). Then ( my opinion ) when couldn't stall any longer, I was told by representative at the bank that one of the FDIC rules were that ANYBODY that had my account number had the legal right to take money out of my account. Of course I contacted FDIC and was told that statement was outright FALSE ( which I actually knew ). On the 3rd time I checked a supervisor at bank told me that my claim was denied because they ( the bank ) couldn't get documents showing my agreement authorizing the company to take my money. This last " excuse '' for denial made no sense to me because THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY DISPUTE WAS I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE COMPANY TO TAKE ANY MONEY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT SO THERE IS NO SUCH DOCUMENT. The company was XXXX XXXX and they made two unauthorized withdrawals from my account of {$41.00} on XX/XX/18 and {$75.00} on same date XX/XX/18. I immediately notified the bank that these withdrawals were not authorized by me at any time. I also notified company that they did this illegally via email. The response was they would not refund " my payment ''. The bank sent me form to fill out to return and let me know it was time sensitive and I complied within the time frame. My assumption of this is my money was taken as if it were a garnishment and my bank allowed it to happen and to tell me that anybody that had my card/account number could " legally '' take my money at ANY time. This SCARES me and shouldn't happen.
