Complaint narrative:
I am reporting an account that was fraudulently opened in my name without my knowledge or consent. The account in question is listed as XXXX, reported by TransUnion, and shows as a secured loan opened on XX/XX/year>, with a balance of {$520.00} and a worst payment status of 6089 days late. The account was closed on XX/XX/year>, but continues to negatively affect my credit report. 

I have no knowledge of this account and never authorized or applied for any secured loan through this creditor. This is a clear case of identity theft. I was not living in or conducting any financial business in XXXX, TX at the time this account was opened, where the listed creditor address is located ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX ). 

This fraudulent account has been marked with derogatory payment history, including multiple late payments, which are severely impacting my credit standing. I have since filed disputes directly with the credit bureaus and attempted resolution with the furnisher, but the account remains on my file.

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out because theres an account showing up on my credit report that does not belong to me. This account appears to be the result of mixed or merged credit information, and it is very clear that this account is tied to someone elses identitynot mine. 

I want to make this absolutely clear : I have no association whatsoever with the account in question. I did not open it, I have no connection to the person who did, and I should not be held responsible for their financial activity. Somehow, my credit file has been inaccurately combined with another persons information, and this is now negatively impacting my credit profilethrough no fault of my own. 

This is not just a mistake ; its a serious error that violates the accuracy standards required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under the law, you are obligated to ensure that every item reported under my name is XXXX XXXX accurate and verifiably connected to me. In this case, that standard is not being met.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: NCB Management Services Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Five years ago, I financed a XXXX vehicle and was making regular payments. Unfortunately, the vehicle began to overheat and eventually stopped working. I initially took it to a mechanic but was advised that the issue required dealership intervention. Upon taking it to the dealership, I was informed that a key component had failed and that the part was no longer being manufactured at the time, with an estimated wait time of 3 to 6 months.

As you can imagine, it was not feasible for me to be without a vehicle for such a long period. I had no choice but to purchase another car and return the XXXX to the dealership. The vehicle was picked up from my apartment, yet I was later told I still owed nearly {$5000.00}. I refused to pay this amount because I believe it is unfair, the situation arose through no fault of my own, and the lender was unable to provide a timely solution. 
At the time, I was told I would have to continue paying for a vehicle that was no longer operational, which I found unreasonable. Nearly five years have passed, and this alleged debt continues to appear in collections on my credit report, severely impacting my creditworthiness.

I have disputed this account multiple times with the credit bureaus, but the item remains on my report with no resolution in my favor. I do not intend to pay for a vehicle that was defective and for which I received no viable repair solution. I was forced to incur additional costs by purchasing another car due to the circumstances.
