Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the removal of a fraudulent credit inquiry from my credit report. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified an inquiry that was not authorized by me and appears to be the result of fraudulent activity. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX  ), Specifically, Section XXXX ( a ), a credit inquiry can only be made with my explicit consent or as part of a transaction or application that I initiated. Since this inquiry does not meet these criteria, it is clear that it was made without my authorization and is therefore fraudulent.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( XXXX XXXX Code XXXX ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) regarding Citicards CBNA, which is inaccurately reporting payment history on a secured credit card account. 

I opened this secured card on XX/XX/year>, and the account was closed by the credit grantor on XX/XX/year> less than XXXX XXXX later due to fraud on my linked bank account, which was beyond my control. 

Despite this, Citicards CBNA is reporting XXXX XXXX  of potentially negative payment history, including missed payments, which is factually and legally impossible given how short the account was open. 

This reporting is : Inaccurate and misleading, violating FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( duty to report accurate information ) Unverifiable, and remains on my report even after disputing it with the credit bureaus, violating FCRA 611 As this was a secured credit card, and the account was closed due to external fraud, not borrower default, I am requesting immediate correction or deletion of this tradeline.

I've been receiving communication from Ascendium in the mail about a debt I don't owe. I sent a request to them for a signed contract or agreement stating that I responsible for paying them and that that I gave them permission to share my personal information with credit bureaus.

I didn't consent to that and they are harassing me. I am not going to pay this debt and I request the cease and desist all communication of this debt including the collections of this debt. They have not and can not produce any signed contract or agreement from me to acknowledge responsibility of this debt. What they did send does not bear my signature and isn't very legible.
