Complaint narrative:
FTC REPORT PERSONAL STATEMENT : I am filing this FTC Identity Theft Affidavit to report due to fraudulent accounts that show on my consumer FICO credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which result from identity theft and fraud. I demand that the previously mentioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease according to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. This is preventing me from being able to get approved for my home loan and I am in disbelief. 


CFPB PERSONAL STATEMENT : This CFPB complaint has been filed to request under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Experian credit reporting agency , block and remove information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. 
This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of a few Personal credit card accounts. 
Account name : XXXX XXXX opened : XX/XX/year> Account name : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Date opened : XX/XX/year> These accounts have resulted in fraudulent hard inquiries and collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report, leaving me with so much stress. I demand that the previously mentioned fraudulent items be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease according to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all previous consumer credit accounts, closed accounts, collections, and hard inquiries result from identity theft and fraud.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am formally disputing the inaccurate information listed on my credit report. In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681b and 15 U.S.C. 1681c, I did not authorize the reporting or release of my personal information to the companies listed below. This is a violation of my consumer rights to privacy, as they have no legal basis to report anything under my name.

Furthermore, there are unauthorized inquiries on my credit report that I did not initiate, which constitutes a case of identity theft. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 8, I do not owe any debt to these entities, and I demand the immediate deletion of the items in question to correct my credit report. 

Please address this matter promptly and confirm the removal of the disputed entries.

After speaking with the Credit Card Department of Truist, their repeated response to my concern was, our disclosure that you signed indicates the time it will take for funds to transfer. No where in the disclosure does it indicate I would begin the billing cycle, leading up to an interest charge, before I ever receive the funds requested.
