Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made or reported without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about! 

All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint FTC Report Number : XXXX as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be no confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

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.

Complaint narrative:
Pursuant to 15 U.S. code 1681b ( 2 ). A consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report with the written instructions of the consumer to who it relates. I declare that I am a Consumer '' did not give any consent or authorization for anyone to furnish, convey or report any of my consumer information. This is abusive practice pursuant to 15 USC 1692 ( a ) as this is damaging my reputation, causing marital instability, to the loss of jobs and the invasion of my individual privacy.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
After losing my job, I attempted to seek assistance from Revvi regarding my credit card account. However, I discovered that there is no valid or responsive email support every attempt to contact their listed addresses ( XXXX, XXXX ) has either bounced back or been ignored. 

Revvi advertises " credit protection '' but offers no meaningful hardship relief. I was never given an opportunity to apply for this protection during my period of unemployment and was later told it was " too late '' to qualify, even though I was still actively experiencing hardship. This is misleading and deceptive. 

Their entire model lacks transparency and makes it difficult for struggling consumers to get real help. Their customer service portal is impersonal and unhelpful, and there is no direct escalation route. 

Despite trying to be proactive and transparent, Revvi has failed to provide any support only sending payment reminders and charging fees without acknowledging the reality of my financial situation.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. 

I was scammed XXXX dollars by a free fraud called Liquidity Farming. 
XXXX XXXX I was made to buy XXXX with my debit card to pay fines and fees to XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX locked up my trust wallet saying if I pay this fee I will get my money back. These fees continued. 

First it's pay XXXX dollar fine then you will get your money back. Then it's pay XXXX dollar fee for this. Then it was another XXXX dollars for tax to the SEC and you will get your money back. After that it was pay this fee and this fee. Finally on XX/XX/XXXX they said that I needed to pay XXXX to SEC for Anti Money Laundering rules, I did not pay this fine. 
The whole thing was scam and lie. 

The SEC told me it was a Fee Fraud Scam. 

All XXXX was paid with my debit card. 

I ended up selling all my assets in XXXX and buying XXXX. Joining Crypto.com to buy XXXX, taking out an XXXX dollars loan with Wellsfargo to buy XXXX, Depositing XXXX dollar check to buy XXXX, depositing a XXXX dollar check to buy XXXX, and taking the cash from my credit cards to buy XXXX. All of this USDC to XXXX XXXX with the promise of my money being returned. 

It was complete fee fraud. I have reported it to the XXXX, FTC, SEC, and others. 

I have tried to do claims for the crypto I bought as fraud with my debit card and all have failed. 
Wellsfargo says it can't take responsibility for me buying crypto to an unknown entity. 

Wellsfargo will not help it's consumer! Wellsfargo told me that my claim was to much money. 

I lost my XXXX in my checking account because of this scam. 
I borrowed XXXX I borrowed XXXX I took out a loan for XXXX I took the cash out of my credit cards for XXXX Wellsfargo refuses to help. It repeats it's rules and regulations without caring about the victim of the crime. Wellfargo whole Claims department has denied me any claims. 

I have been in Claims with Wellsfargo since XX/XX/XXXX. 

The only person that was kind and cared was the Escalation XXXX that set up a claim with their department. That claim also failed! I was sent a final resolution letter on XX/XX/2025 stating that they were sorry I was scammed contact the FBI. 

I have done research into this. Wellsfargo does not want to take the blame for any fraud to help the consumer. Wellsfargo cares more about money then victims of a crime.
