I decided to get my credit pulled due to a couple of bills I continued to receive in the mail. I have never heard from the place before. Therefore, I suspected identity theft. When I reviewed my report, I was caught by surprise on a couple of things that I have never opened in my life. The things listed on my applications are not mine. Please remove these unknown items from my report.

There are two issues that I am dealing with.

( 1 ) I placed an order for {$68.00} but when it was emailed to me it was charged at {$210.00}. I called to cancel and close my account because I had several other problems with paypal. When I looked at my statement they were requesting a payment for the full amount of {$210.00}. So I reported it to my credit card account holder and started a dispute. I once again requested that paypal cancel my account and I took my banking and other payment accounts off paypal to stop their ability to withdraw money from my accounts. They emailed me saying that they would refund my money and cancel my order. 

Purchase ID : XXXX Order date : XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Cancellation Date : XXXX XXXX They are still asking for the funds ( 2 ) The other issue is that I received an email telling me that they had approved a payment for {$1000.00} for a Bit Coin purchase ( XXXX ) dated XX/XX/XXXX. I called to tell them that my account was closed and I had not placed this order. So I decided to contact you. The address on the order s not mine and this is very unusually. 

Since this has become an on going problem I need your help.

Hello, I trust that you can help me quickly resolve inaccurate reporting on my credit reports with Equifax and XXXX. Ive worked with both agencies and the inaccurate reporting still continues. 

Equifax and XXXX  are reporting the XX/XX/2020 payment of my XXXX XXXX XXXX as 30 days late. The creditor has said that they did not report the XXXX payment late, as it was received on time. 

A check was mailed and posted by my bank XXXX XX/XX/2020. Please have XXXX  and Equifax report accurate information and remove the 30 day XXXX late payment for the account mentioned above. I need this done immediately, as it is affecting my ability to secure a loan.

I have been sending numerous letters to the Credit Bureaus for them to remove the accounts and information that resulted due to the theft of my Identity. I started send in Dispute letters to the Credit Bureaus on XX/XX/2022 until XX/XX/2022 with complete attachments of my Personal information, but despite all my efforts, the Credit Bureaus seemed to ignore my appeals and neglect their duty to comply with the FCRA section 605b. In my Previous letters and complaints, I am requesting that the Credit Bureaus investigate and verify the accuracy of the items I am disputing by providing me with documents which bear my Signatures. Since then, I have been waiting for them to respond to my letters regarding then investigation and the documents I have been requesting, but after a time of waiting, the Credit Bureaus sent me nothing. The Credit Bureaus are given ample amount of time to do and finish their investigation but their investigation had done nothin to correct my Credit File. Now, I am submitting this complaint to urge the Credit Bureaus to remove the disputed items with or without proper investigation since the time allotted for the Credit Bureaus to conduct their investigation is already over. Once again, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE CREDIT BUREAUS REMOVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS COMPLETELY FROM MY CREDIT REPORT : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$15000.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance XXXX {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance XXXX {$780.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX ) XXXX XXXX : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX ) XXXX Balance XXXX {$23000.00} XXXX XXXX Balance XXXX {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$1500.00} XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Balance : {$1900.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2022

VENMO - very poor security and they do not care. I had a VENMO account under the ID XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/2022 I received a text from a friend asking me why I was Sending via VENMO {$1900.00}. I told her I had not, I had not initiated any Venmo payments for many days. I immediately reviewed my VEnmo activity and noted that there were three unauthorized VENMO payments of {$1900.00} each, they were initiated by a a VENMO ID XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( not even close to my VENMO ID ). I immediately called Venmo and after jumping thru numerous hoops was allowed to talk with someone who I told that there were threXXXX unauthorized requests by an ID that was not my VENMO ID. I was told I would hear back from VENMO via email within a week. They obviously do not take security breeches seriously. I immediately called my bank and asked them to block any debits from VENMO, at the time there were no debits noted on my bank account. The next morning there were 3 debit attempts of {$1900.00} to VENMO, these were declined by my bank and I went in the next day and CLOSED my bank account. I again sent email and phone requests that I wanted my VENMO account CLOSED. I was told it could not be closed as it was frozen. I received an email that the account was frozen. I called Venmo again a month later and AGAIN requested that my account be CLOSED. This time I was told I could not close the account because I had an unpaid balance ( which was a result of them allowing an unauthorized ID to access my account and attempt to access my bank account ). On XX/XX/XXXX, VENMO without my authorization allowed a friend to mistakenly pay me {$100.00} via VENMO, this was my first knowledge that my account was NOT FROZEN or CLOSED as I had numerous times requested. Talking with them via phone and email via their website, I again asked that my VENMO account be closed, I was told again that they could not close the account as I had an upaid balance.

Fortress teamed up with Special Financing LLC this fraudulent company and they are telling me I still have to pay for amount that was financed even though they didnt do any work on my behalf.

I am writing to report a serious case of identity theft and unauthorized account activity that has affected me. I recently became aware of multiple data breaches that have exposed my personal information, leading to the opening and operation of accounts without my knowledge. I believe this has had a significant impact on my financial well-being and personal security. 

I was initially informed about these data breaches through notifications on my computer browser, indicating that my sensitive information may have been compromised. Additionally, I received information from my former employer confirming that my personal data may have been part of a security incident during my tenure with the company. 

As a result of these breaches, I have discovered that accounts were opened and operated without my consent. This unauthorized activity is reflected on my credit report, causing further distress and concern for my financial stability. I have taken immediate steps to freeze my credit, but the implications of this breach are far-reaching. 

I am reaching out to you in the hope that your organization can provide guidance and assistance in resolving this matter. I understand that IdentityTheft.gov is a valuable resource for victims of identity theft, and I am seeking support in navigating the necessary steps to rectify the fraudulent accounts, protect my personal information, and mitigate any further damage to my credit.
