Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Removal of Unverifiable Account Dear Credit Reporting Department, I am writing to formally request the removal of an account from my credit report as reported by [ XXXX ]. This request is based on the recent deletion of an account by XXXX, one of the four major credit reporting agencies. I recently disputed a charge-o for {$26000.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX The company listed on my XXXX report, and following a thorough investigation, XXXX has completely removed this unverifiable debt from my report as of XX/XX/year> According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), all consumer reporting agencies must ensure that information in consumer reports is accurate, fair, and verifiable. 

Since XXXX has removed this account after its verification process, I request that you do the same and remove this unverifiable account from my credit report. 

Supporting Consumer Laws : FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires that inaccurate or unverifiable information must be deleted from a consumer 's credit file. I am exercising my right. 

to ensure that my credit report remains fair, accurate, and free of unverifiable information. Since XXXX has deemed this account unverifiable and removed it, you must take similar action. 

Additionally, under FCRA Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ), information suppliers must report only complete and accurate information. With XXXX having deemed this information unverifiable, I urge you to align its records accordingly. 
Please provide confirmation of this removal within 30 days of receipt of this request. If the account is not removed, I am prepared to pursue further actions, including filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and seeking legal action under the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including Section 616 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n ), which allows consumers to seek legal recourse for willful non- compliance, and Section 617 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681o ) for negligent non-compliance. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as it directly impacts my credit report 's integrity. Please notify me in writing once this deletion has been processed. 
Thank you for your immediate attention to this request.

Complaint narrative:
They called me at XXXX on XX/XX/year> for a debt that was not mine and confirmed on the phone that they were calling for my sister in law. 

I advised them that I was not the person and would not want to be contacted further since it was not my debt. 

The agent very rudely told me that the only way to get them to stop calling me was to have her call and that they would be calling until she reaches out to them.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint regarding multiple discrepancies and misleading information provided by Crypto.com concerning the shipment of my credit card. Despite multiple assurances from Crypto.com representatives and emails, I have yet to receive my card. Conflicting statements have raised serious concerns about the companys handling of this matter. 

On XX/XX/year>, I received an email from Crypto.com stating that my card had been shipped to my residential address. Upon contacting a Crypto.com representative, I was informed that my card would arrive by the end of XX/XX/year>. However, the card never arrived. 

In the first week of XX/XX/year>, I reached out to Crypto.coms support team to follow up on the issue. I was then told that a new card had been shipped and would arrive within 7-14 business days from XX/XX/year>, as confirmed in an email sent to me. 

As of XX/XX/year>, I noticed that the Crypto.com application was still prompting me to request shipment of my card, which directly contradicted the previous assurances I had received. Concerned about this discrepancy, I contacted Crypto.coms support team once again. Initially, I was told that my card had indeed been shipped and was expected to arrive within 7-14 business days from XX/XX/year>. However, when I provided a screenshot from the application showing that my card had not been shipped, the representative reversed their statement and admitted that my card had not actually been shipped. 

This repeated misinformation and failure to fulfill Crypto.coms obligations raise serious concerns regarding : 1. Misrepresentation and deceptive business practices I was twice informed that my card had been shipped when, in fact, it had not.

2. Failure to provide a financial product as promised Crypto.com has failed to deliver the credit card in the timeframe they repeatedly assured.

3. Lack of transparency and accountability The conflicting responses from support representatives suggest either gross negligence or systemic issues within Crypto.coms fulfillment process.

Complaint narrative:
We were mistakenly charged {$49.00} from Best Buy and never received a statement. Not being aware of the purchase on our Best Buy/City Bank card , we didnt make a payment and we were charged late fees and interest charges. We called Best Buy and City Bank multiple times and received the worst customer service. Within a few days after the late status, our account was sent to collections and we received a voicemail stating that fact. All this because of a purchase that we never approved! We have dealt with multiple credit card companies and were never treated like this before. 
This is a fraudulent business practice of Best Buy charging an account without the consumer approval.
