Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I got a preapproved credit offer in the mail for a Milestone credit card. I already have a card with XXXX XXXX. Trying to get my credit better so I decided to to fill out the application & was approved for {$700.00}. The card came in the mail around the XXXX of XXXX, so I went online to activate it & that's when I saw the amount owed for {$170.00} as an annual fee. So on XX/XX/23, I typed a letter asking them to close my account & to tell them I did not want their credit card because I have never in my life heard of a annual fee being that high for a {$700.00} credit limit. So I enclosed the card with the sticker still on it with the letter, took it to the post office & sent it to them via certified mail with signature & card return. Got a letter from them on the XXXX or XXXX of this month stating they will close my account but I still have to pay the {$170.00}. That is XXXX  XXXX because I have no annual fee with XXXX XXXX & my credit increased from {$300.00} to {$1800.00} within 3 months. There was no way I would have signed for Milestone 's card knowing the annual fee was that high. I just got my credit score up XXXX points & now they are trying to make me pay for something I no longer have or want. That's why I am writing you because I am not going to pay them {$170.00} when one, I was lied to, two, I no longer have their card, & three, never used it at all, just sent it back to them with the sticker still on it. All I want is my account closed & them removed off my account because they are fraudulent & trying to rip people off with that high annual fee for that small amount of credit.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the ability of credit bureaus to accurately determine whether a client is a victim of identity theft. While I understand that credit bureaus play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of credit reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that there are certain limitations in identifying identity theft solely through traditional credit monitoring processes. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests.

Identity theft is a pervasive problem in our digital age, and its methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Despite the best efforts of credit bureaus to detect suspicious activities and protect consumers, there are several reasons why it can be challenging to definitively determine whether a client has fallen victim to identity theft : XXXX XXXX  XXXX - XXXX  have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I believe it is essential for credit bureaus to acknowledge these limitations and explore more robust and proactive measures to protect consumers from identity theft. These measures could include increased data sharing and collaboration among financial institutions, more comprehensive identity verification processes, and enhanced monitoring for non-financial forms of identity theft. 

In conclusion, while credit bureaus play a vital role in the financial ecosystem, it is important to recognize the inherent challenges in definitively determining whether a client is a victim of identity theft solely through traditional credit monitoring processes. I urge you to consider these limitations seriously and work towards developing more effective strategies to protect consumers from the ever-evolving threat of identity theft.
