Complaint narrative:
I am writing to urgently address the fraudulent accounts that have been reported on my credit file. I am a victim of identity theft, and these negative accounts are the result of criminal activities conducted without my knowledge or consent. It is essential that these inaccuracies be rectified immediately to prevent further harm to my credit standing. The fraudulent accounts in question were opened by someone close to me, who stole my personal information and used it to open accounts in my name. After becoming aware of these unauthorized activities, I contacted the respective banks, who have acknowledged the situation and agreed to remove the fraudulent accounts from their records. 
To support my claim, I have submitted the necessary Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and I have attached a copy of this report for your reference. The banks have confirmed the identity theft and are aware that the accounts were opened without my authorization.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately.

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity.

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to settle some late fees from my Sunoco Credit Card, that I believe were charged erroneously and unfairly. I have been a cardholder for many years and have paid my bills regularly and stayed in good standing. Recently my wife and I changed our payment method from sending checks in the mail to paying online, through our bank XXXX XXXX. When I pay my bills online through our bank, the bank and company we are paying process the bill in 1 business day. Sunoco takes at least 7 business days, sometimes longer. I have paid my bills electronically before the due date, but because of the long processing time ( only experienced with Sunoco 's Credit Card ) makes them receive the payment late, and I get charged a late fee ( exorbitant -- starting at {$29.00} ). I have called Sunoco ( and Citi, who handles the payments, I understand ) to dispute this, saying that I have paid for the goods and services ( in this case, gasoline ) on time and am arguing the fairness of charging a late fee to a customer who is paying them before the due date, and their processing time is making the payment late. I am now receiving bills charging late fees on top of the original late fee, even though I have called them numerous times, and spoken to supervisors. The recent bill, dated XX/XX/XXXX, is now up to {$110.00}, which is all late fees. I have paid Sunoco for all the gas we have consumed. In the process of speaking with them on the phone on XX/XX/XXXX, I asked for our Sunoco Card Account to be cancelled, as we prefer not to do business with a company that is punitive, unreasonable, and delinquent in processing payments in a timely manner. The ID number of the gentleman I last spoke with about this matter on XX/XX/XXXX is # XXXX. I wanted to lodge a complaint and a dispute about the recurring late fees on top of late fees, but he would not agree to do that. I am now receiving threatening letters ( sent on XX/XX/XXXX ) from Citi Cards about my debt to Sunoco. The XXXX bill was paid on XX/XX/XXXX and processed on XX/XX/XXXX
