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 specific records in my credit file that do not belong to me, or that I have signed any agreement. The accounts I'm challenging have nothing to do with any transactions I've done or authorized to gain products, services, or money. Please remove the following accounts.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MA)

The original debt was charged off in XXXX, and is not even on any of my credit reports. How can a charged off debt over 10 years old be purchased? It was not purchased and this collection post is a complete fraud perpetuated against Experian, and an abuse of my rights under FCRA and FDCPA. The attached post on my credit bureau claims that a debt was purchased by a third party. At no time from my initial dispute was a debt validated. Under Federal Trade Commission guidelines, a debt must be proved, showing actual hard copy transfer. That does not mean a letter of transfer, but an actual transfer with signature backup. The debt purchase industry is the largest scam ongoing against the American consumer. Both the collection agency/debt purchaser are in violation of their subscriber agreement with every credit reporting agency. At no time was the debt validated, and the initial timeline from the original creditor has been cut off, and thus the debt is illegally being re-aged to benefit both the original creditor and the illegal debt collection process. Both the original trade line must be removed along with the invalid collection process. This problem will continue to exist since the XXXX v. XXXX XXXX XXXX Supreme Court decision of XX/XX/XXXX, whereas the third party purchase  voids the individuals rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Since there is no proof of true hard copy transfer and ownership, the collection is VOID and the collection process must cease and my file for both accounts must purge. These items must be deleted permanently and my files need to be purged. My information was obtained through a debt pooling process that should be terminated by the Federal Trade Commission. XXXX XXXX has committed a fraudulent act by even posting my antiquated information and there should be sanctions taken against this company. Now XXXX XXXX is extending the fraudulent activity to a fourth party collection service called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. There is absolutely no connection to a valid debt, and my name must be deleted immediately from all corresponding files. All credit bureaus are being aware of this problem as now two debt collection agencies/debt buyers are in violation of their subscriber agreement across the board with the major credit bureaus. The credit reporting as well as the debt collection is 100 % fraudulent and needs to cease immediately and permanently.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AZ)

Over 56 hours ago I discovered that BBVA had put a block on my account while trying to process a transaction at a grocery store. I have spent many hours on the phone with their hold music and customer service reps who refuse to pass me off to management, refuse to offer solutions and put me back on hold for extended periods of time. I have been told that policies that currently will not be extended to me because they have the knowledge that I am fighting to recover my funds and close the account. I am fighting for every loophole to get my money back. The block was added to my account with no direction from me. Today I was told by CS that I was the one who put it on hold " maybe for security reasons '' he said to me. I did not in fact put my account on any kind of hold for any kind of reason. They have successfully removed the hold on my account but now refuse to let me withdrawal my monies and close the account. I have missed payments, accrued fees, among other things. This has cost my greatly financially and emotionally.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to the 3 Credit Bureaus was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized.

Experian received a claim around XXXX with approx XXXX items to be disputed. Upon receiving that claim, Experian only selected XXXX items to review and ignored the rest of the letter as provided. 

Experian was again notified of their failure to accurately handle a FCRA request and noted their violation. They also received additional information regarding the claim from XXXX, XXXX. Again, Experian did not review the data provided and just contacted the furnisher who continues to affirm that the information is accurate, even with provided proof to Experian. 

Experian was contacted again, and they did not provide any additional information as to why they are refusing to correct the inaccuracy, even with multiple records submitted. 

We have provided multiple official statements to Experian as well as the creditor. We have provided proof of emails showing the auto payment is set up.

A month ago, I submitted a complaint to these Bureaus, but the incorrect information on my report is still there. I haven't heard back from them, aside from your notification that the company has replied to my complaint. How can I trust that they've properly investigated the inaccuracies? What steps did they take to verify the accounts? This entire situation is really frustrating, especially since it's been over 30 days since I filed my complaint.

On XX/XX/2019, I made a claim requesting my money back from a check which was cashed out by unauthorized person. The check was destined for rent and landlord 's name was on it. Clearly, whoever cashed out the check was not using any legal documents to prove his identity. Moreover, the teller from any financial institution should be held accountable for violate the right procedures to cashing a check without the right endorsement which was needed in this particular case. It's been almost two months that Citibank has not given me any satisfactory response to resolve this situation.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (TX)

Following the closure of case CFPB Case id # XXXX and beyond the feedback due date, I received an advisement from Synchrony Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX that this entity characterized their refund activity as cancellation of debt. 

After speaking to accountants, my position is that I should immediately object to cancellation of debt because the original activity was unauthorized and perhaps fraudulent. In my case this closing activity is not normal forgiveness of debt which is a taxable event, per my accountants. 

I hereby request the CFPB to contact the Synchrony Bank to request that they re-categorize this history so that XXXX XXXX does not receive a 1099 from the bank which he and his accountants feel he does not deserve. All of the circumstances, including no printed statements for one, support XXXX XXXX assertion. 

XXXX XXXX maintains his XXXX account and is in good standing on other accounts with Synchrony Bank. Thank you for your time and consideration.
