Complaint narrative:
Please also refer to attached documents that I have sent over countlessly to all three credit bureaus by verified mail and fax and the below credit card companies by fax. I have documentation of ALL of this, so they can not dispute any of it. In XXXX of XXXX, I went to try to purchase my first car by myself. Upon applying, I was told that I needed a cosigner because my credit score was not high enough. This greatly confused me since I had never missed any payment on anything and have a no debt outside of XXXX loans. Therefore, I began to investigate and saw on my credit report several credit cards under my name, some with no balance and closed and others with balances totaling $ XXXX XXXX {$4000.00} in furniture from XXXX which was never paid by my parents and sent to collections. I called each card company and they told me that XXXX and XXXX XXXX, who are my parents, opened the cards and were making payments, but on the XXXX XXXX XXXX, Chase, and XXXX cards they STOPPED MAKING PAYMENTS. These accounts first started to be opened TWO MONTHS AFTER I TURNED XXXX XXXX XXXX!!!!!!!! I contacted XXXX XXXX first, since two accounts were under them, and they investigated and found that the accounts were fraud and were opened by my parents. The collections agency also did the same for the XXXXXXXX XXXX However, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, Chase, XXXX, and ALL THREE CREDIT BUREAUS are REFUSING to investigate or remove these accounts from my name and credit report after 3+ times submitting disputes, documentation, federal and police reports, etc. WHY CAN XXXX XXXX DO THEIR JOB BUT THE OTHER COMPANIES CAN'T? MY PARENTS WERE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THESE ACCOUNTS PER THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES SO WHY CAN'T THEY SEE WHAT ACCOUNT WAS BEING USED TO PAY THESE????? ISN'T OBVIOUS THAT MY PARENTS WERE USING THEIR DEBIT ACCOUNT TO PAY OFF THESE CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS?????? WHY WILL THEY NOT INVESTIGATE THAT ESPECIALLY AFTER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN SEE THAT XXXX XXXX AND XXXX XXXX OPENED THE ACCOUNTS????? I AM TIRED OF GETTING THE RUNAROUND AND LIED TO.
