Complaint narrative:
This is one of my numerous complaints that I am a victim of identity theft and I write to dispute certain accounts in my file resulting from the crime. The account I am disputing does not relate to any transactions obtaining any possession of goods, services or money that I have made or authorized. This account is unknown to me. Also, the information you provided on some account is DELETED from other bureaus and I have doubts in their accuracy and the reported payment history on some account is a mystery to me. Please block the reporting of any information in my credit file that resulted from an alleged identity theft.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 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. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
My savings account with Apple / Goldman Sachs has been frozen, leaving me unable to access my funds. 

Multiple attempts to remedy this via their support channels have been unsuccessful. 

Currently Im waiting on a telephone call from their ID verification team but they have no time estimate on when I can have access to my funds. 

Theyve previously verified my ID via phone call only 1-2 weeks ago when a similar problem arose with my attached credit card and so I have little confidence that unlocking my account will provide me with stable access to funds. 

This has been incredibly disruptive and I plan to withdraw all money from the account the moment Im able to.
