Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NJ)

I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 100 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Didn't receive services that were advertised
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I learned that I was included in the Equifax Data Breach and immediately enrolled in their TrustedID credit monitoring product. After waiting 48 hours for the system to send me an email notification that my account was set up I immediately tried to login to my account using the user name and password used to establish the account. After several attempts I was locked out at which time I contacted Equifax and was told that they were inundated with requests and their system was down for a few hours and that I should try again later. I waited a couple of days and tried again to be told my login and or password was incorrect. I immediately requested to reset my password and received an email allowing me to so ; unfortunately when I entered my date of birth and the last 4 digits of my social security number I received an error message indicated that this information did not match their records. Since this this happened in early XX/XX/XXXX I have attempted to call Equifax on 5 separate occasions. Most recently today XX/XX/XXXX and Friday XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX after a lengthy 25 minute conversation with an individual in XXXX who could not understand me nor could I understand him I was allowed to speak with a supervisor who told me that everything was reset with my account and it would take 1 hour to be reset. On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to login to my account and received the same error messages with my password and the again when I tried to reset my password. I called Equifax once again and was told for the first time that the date of birth I was entering did not match what they had in the system. Only to be told that the issue was reported and it would take up to 48 hours to get resolved. I am very concerned that not only am I dealing with individuals who don ; t understand how to professionally do their job, I am more concerned that these call center individuals are not handling my Personal Identifiable Information ( PII ) in an appropriate manner. I want Equifax to provide me with the credit monitoring product and service they promised and I want the opportunity to make sure they have the most current accurate personal information on file. I should not have to go through so many hoops and hurdles over the course of 6 weeks to accomplish this process especiall if they were better stewards on consumer PII and not so greedy about cashing in their stock before they made this breach public information. As a consumer I demand that the CFPB look closer at this company and fine them for their incompetence. I still have no resolution or certainty of when resolution will be obtained and my free credit monitoring will kick in. I also have no idea if I have been a victim of fraud.

Good afternoon, I recently made two balance transfers to my Bank of America World MasterCard in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a special offer for 0 % interest through XX/XX/XXXX in a direct mail offer which also referred me to the website to complete the balance transfer. I completed the transfers online after selecting the offer of 0 % through XX/XX/XXXX.

I contacted BOA at XXXX. I was told by the Representative that there were no special offers associated with my account and that there had not been in over one year. I told him that I never would have transferred balances to a card with at 14.99 % APR. I shared that I felt this was a deceptive practice and a UDAAP violation. I told him I felt like I had been tricked into transferring balances to BOA with the understanding of a 0 % APR until XXXX and am now incurring an interest fee of {$120.00} per month. He said there was no promotion offered and there was nothing he could do.

Good Day! I am writing to you guys due to some Inquiries that are fraud and reporting on my credit report. I never authorized any of these companies to run my report. When I called them they didn't have any solutions for me and could not find my information anywhere so why are the credit bureaus reporting these items? Please have them investigate them and delete them from my credit report. I also filed Identity theft/fraud because I did not give them the authorization to run my credit you can see them found attached. Please have these removed asap. I tried contacting them and sending letters and nothing was solved.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (OH)

On XX/XX/2021 I purchased a laptop computer from Best Buy located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, OH XXXX. The salesperson offered me a {$100.00} discount if I opened up a " rewards '' card. He indicated that it was not a credit card, and only a store rewards card whereby I could accumulate points and special deals towards in-store purchases. I stated that I DID NOT WANT to apply for a credit card - the Best Buy salesperson stated that he would tell the person on the phone processing my application NOT to proceed with a credit card application... .only the in-store " rewards '' program card. 

I suspected something was wrong when the salesperson was on the phone with the other person for a prolonged time. He indicated that " my application didn't go through '' and that he could not honor the discount or enroll me in the rewards program. 

I subsequently received a warning from one of my banks that a credit report had been requested in my name ( which I did not authorize ). I then received a letter from Best Buy XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX dated XX/XX/2021 that I had made a recent credit card application, which was denied because of an identity fraud alert on my credit report. 

The Best Buy salesperson misled " tricked '' me into applying for a Best Buy credit card and this led to a credit inquiry on my credit report which may negatively impact my credit score. This practice is misleading and I am reporting this unethical behavior to CFPB.

Company: Critical Resolution Mediation LLC (CT)

On XX/XX/XXXX I was contacted via phone by a person named " XXXX XXXX '' who claimed to be an attorney with Critical Resolution Media ( CRS ) based out of XXXX, GA working on behalf on XXXX XXXX XXXX. This gentleman informed me that I " owe '' a debt on a XXXX XXXX credit card, but was unable to provide the original date or state in which the debt incurred. He said I needed to pay an amount over {$600.00} to make this problem go away. 

I informed him that I had paid off that credit card back in XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX, and that money is no longer owed. He then began raising his voice at me and using " guilt inducing '' language such as " if you 're an honorable, honest person, you will pay this debt right now at this moment '' and made many references to legal trouble, criminal charges, ruined credit, and shame in the community. I reminded him that debtors prison has n't existed since the beginning of the 20th century at which point he became angry, raising his voice and threatening once more that if I did n't pay this debt I would be " setting myself up for a world of legal trouble and ruined credit ''. 

At that point I asked him verbally to please stop contacting me via phone and only send correspondence via mail. I did ask him to send me any and all information he had pertaining to this debt, and he sent me an email containing a completely different amount " owed, '' ( the email says I owe $ 1300+, NOT the $ 600+ he  mentioned on the phone ). The email also detailed that the original date of the debt was in XX/XX/XXXX, which is not possible, as I did not open or possess a XXXX XXXX credit card at that time. There are no debts or collections to XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report, and I can find no public record of any debt that I owe to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

After the email, I looked up CRS on the internet and saw dozens of reviews outlining similar situations. My instinct is that this is a fraudulent company that relies on bullying and threatening tactics to trick people into paying debts they do not owe. 

Today, CRS called my home phone number ( not my cell number that they originally contacted ) THREE separate times, which was answered by my mother. Each time the company called, the same person 's voice identified himself using 3 separate names, and continued to threaten legal action, criminal charges, and ruined credit. At this point, CRS has crossed the line into harassment. They still have not sent me ANYTHING in the mail as I requested, and have provided no real proof that this is a real debt or that they are a reputable company. 

Please do something about this organization! I am not the only person they are harassing for a debt that does n't exist. I will provide their contact information below so they can be easily found : XXXX XXXX Critical Resolution Mediation LLC XXXX Phone ( XXXX ) XXXX ext XXXX Fax ( XXXX ) XXXX
