Complaint narrative:
My identity was stolen in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter from the FBI n XX/XX/XXXX notifying me of that fact. Then in XX/XX/XXXX I got a letter from American Express informing me that my credit line was being reduced from {$11000.00} down to {$5900.00} and cash advances of {$200.00} the reason and information was based on information provided by XXXX. My credit score was as high as XXXX. During that time I sent several letters to all of the credit agencies to correct my credit files. I tried to make sure that the agencies had accurate information. After reviewing my old letters, I remembered that I also had at those credit monitoring services one with XXXX and one with XXXX and they really did n't catch anything. I lost confidence in the service because one of the crooks was monitoring my account as well. 

To this day ever since I wrote letters to XXXX canceling my monitoring service and complaining about their service, it seems like I 've been placed on their enemies lists. I do n't know if one really exists, but here 's what I mean. My American Express credit limit is still {$5900.00} and {$200.00} in cash advance. I paid the balance off back in XX/XX/XXXX and nothing has changed since that time. Even after I got the police report and became a confirmed victim of Identity theft and I never missed a payment on any account. Wrote several times correcting everything. XXXX was especially slow about updating my files until I sent a letter saying I was trying to refi my home and all of a sudden they cleaned my file up to an extent. Over the years they have continued to play games, 2 years ago I had another back and forth to remove a lien error. The exchange was brief but I sent a few letter and it really was the only negative item on my file other than card balances. I am refinancing my home now and 2 out 3 credit reporting agencies have my credit history as too short or insufficient. XXXX and XXXX. XXXX has my credit score at XXXX and all of the lenders are using XXXX low score to quote me a loan. I got a quote from XXXX they only used XXXX 's score. I got a quote from XXXX XXXX they are only using XXXX 's low score and key factors on credit score form. Which states that length of revolving account history is too short. 

It seems as though XXXX is retaliating against me and keeping my score at the lowest possible range score it can justify and then also obscure my credit history by throwing in some XXXX like " length of time revolving accounts have been established is too short. '' When they know full well I have an extensive credit history. I have filed a similar compliant but once i looked at my old notes I wanted to add more. XXXX is no saint either. They are telling the same lie in attempt to present me as a risky borrower despite my 27 year excellent credit history. Completely unfair.
