Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 an inquiry was placed on my credit report that I did not authorize and it is fraudulent, it is in fact hurting my credit. I have tried getting them removed but I have had no success. The fact that it is supposed to stay on my credit report is a violation of my right under the FCRA. I have not supplied proof under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, Engelhardt v. Gravens ( Mo ) 281 SW 715,719, I may presumethat no proof of the alleged debt, not therefore any such debt, in fact exists.

He reported the fraud immediately and the bank took action to cut of the card and notified him in a letter stating he was not responsible for those charges, which were all made in different states far outside our area.

Complaint narrative:
Dated on XX/XX/2022 via Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) complaint ID : XXXX Ally stated Ally Bank ( Ally ) had a permissible purpose to access your credit file in connection with evaluating credit transactions involving you. I, XXXX XXXX, Consumer, strongly disagree. Since Ally admitted such, now what Im going to need for Ally to do is ( 1 ) I demand Ally to provide me with Documentary evidence in regards of everything Ally stated mentioned above and ( 2 ) If Ally fails to do such, that will validate that what your stating is just heresy and will not be sufficient in Federal Court if we had to. Ally are you aware of transferring another person information without consent is a violation of 18 U.S. Code 1028A - Aggravated identity theft? And that Ally can be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years. Are you aware that Ally? As long as that is fine with you, its fine with me Ally. As you stated Ally Bank ( Ally ) had a permissible purpose to access your credit file now Im demanding that you prove to me with what lawful authority Ally had permissible purpose to have access to my credit file, transfer my information without any of my consent. Ally YOU stated this, So Im holding that to be your truth, these are your words, not mine Ally. I XXXX XXXX, Consumer, encourages Ally to read 18 U.S. Code 1028 - Fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents, authentication features, and information. Again, as long as Ally are aware of their actions and fine with it, its fine with me and all actions necessarily will be taken. Failure to comply with requirements mentioned above will result in fines. Thank you, and best wishes Ally!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I called Experian after I purchased a credit report from XXXX on XX/XX/2022. After receiving a copy of my report, I saw these UNVERIFIABLE items on my personal profile, I noticed that there were Names : Addresses : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX Accounts : XXXX XXXX on my credit report which are UNKNOWN to me. This is disappointing because I have been paying Identity IQ to get a report every month and I have been disputing fraud items on my credit report all this time. One of the staff told me to visit https : XXXX and Report the Fraudulent accounts and have them BLOCKED OR REMOVED from my credit file. Ive attached a copy of the identity theft report ( FTC report # : XXXX ), and guess what I found? Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B ( a ) the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days with ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

A copy of my Utility Bill, drivers license, and Social Security Number are all included in this complaint. I want you to know that I am telling the truth and by Experian not blocking these items are inadvertently resulting in me being extorted.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Since starting back in XXXX until last year XXXX ( last certified was sent on XX/XX/XXXX ) I have been trying to get TransWorld System Inc to provide proof that an erroneous debt that they are trying to collect on and has put on my credit report is indeed my debt by showing proof of a contract and not by validating with photo copies of a bill ( s ). To this day and as you can see from past complaints, they have still failed to provide the proof. I have sent numerous certified letters asking them for the information to send accurate proof and all they continue to send is a photo copy of a bill. They have this account in collection under their company in the amount of {$610.00} to this day reporting, but again can't prove that the erroneous debt in fact belongs to me. Providing a photo copied bill is not proof of validation anyone can do this with technology nowadays. It is a violation for TransWorld to continue to report after without being able to provide the proof after a certain amount of time and continue to report to the Bureaus without the proof.

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America closed all my accounts after 12 years as I was a victim of account takeover and identity theft. They did not give me much information only that they received a letter from another bank that a wire that I initiated was not valid but it was valid. I believe I may also have a charged off account with them. I would like to work with Bank of America to get me a checking account with them since I will be initiating a mortgage with them also and you can get a lot of relationship bonuses.

Complaint narrative:
In the latter years before he passed. He had XXXX as well as a manipulative GF that milked him dry. I don't know who came up with the idea, but XXXX XXXX from 2 companies ( XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  ) I only use XXXX and XXXX and XXXX XXXXs as long as I can remember. Then high limit cards appearing and finally they merged our reports. I never lived in XXXX 's XXXX, my father did. I never had a XXXX XXXX XXXX either but it's on my report and I had a near 800 score before I started checking my credit more often and kept seeing it drop. It wasn't until I was getting late payment notices.. over limit card notices. Poor utilization as welI.I rarely go over 30 % utilization. But suddenly I was getting overwhelmed financially. I didn't know for sure what was happening. Until I received a collection for an ambulance ride from his house to the local hospital. Then it started making sense. Nobody wants to believe that their dad is stealing from them but while I had notions. The Ambulance ride unfortunately secured my conviction that it is or was just my father and his XXXX XXXX  GF. He'd never do that on his own because I would have gladly bought him a new phone.. but not her.. I think that was the beginning of using my SS # to apply for credit. It's sad it came to this but I've been rebuilding my credit to little or no success. What is my next option, please?
