Complaint narrative:
On the statement, a notice appeared stating that if I wanted to switch cards to a no fee card, I could call them and do so. When I called I was told that I needed to " apply '' as a new customer, but with a notation on my account that my existing credit line would automatically go to the new card. I did that, and the application was rejected. Barclays told me that I could switch cards, then after I asked to switch I was rejected. I sent two letters asking for an explanation, and received ZERO replies. The letters are attached.

Complaint narrative:
I have done everything by the book with disputing these accounts. Ive contacted the bank in regards to this matter. They claimed its been resolved. Ive contact the law enforcement agency and filed a report and affidavit. They claim they identity theft report is valid. And lastly, Im contact the credit reporting agencies. XXXX and XXXX have removed the accounts per legal requirement. But for some weird reason TransUnion feels Im not following all the steps. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX I know the consumer laws and the courts are very lenient with the banks and credit reporting agencies so filing a lawsuit is a waste of energy. Seeing Ive submitted my claim with TransUnion for over 6 months, Im at wits end. This is the 6th complaint Ive filed against them and every time I get the same ridiculous response. They make some absurd claim that the documents Ive submitted are not valid. Id like the CFPB to honestly look closely at this case because it seems this is a lack of their legal requirement to process the identity theft report. 

I have filed it with a law enforcement agency. Identitytheft.gov is a federal law enforcement agency. Id like to see this matter handled properly. All this grief of identity theft and not having any access to my credit is creating a ton of emotional and physical distress. Its cause a great deal of strain in my work and personal lives. I literally losing my mind because I have no other recourse

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Firstly, the notice was sent to the wrong address. I believe I confirmed with the agents my actual address. Please listen to the call recordings to confirm. They listed " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I listed my address as " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

On XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX, I called Ally bank ( XXXX ) re : I had noticed that an 'application inquiry ' had been posted to my credit report ( via XXXX from XXXX ). This call was made at XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX and lasted XXXX. 

XXXX  was one of the companies that this occurred with, XXXX XXXX was the other ( not affiliated with XXXX ). I called XXXX  promptly ( the XX/XX/XXXX call I mentioned ) to ask that this be marked as fraud. I specifically asked, more than once, that this application be withdrawn and cancelled, prevent the card from being sent, and that they inform the credit bureaus. I was assured that this would happen. The pre-message to this call said that it would be recorded. 

I called the same number again ( again, from my credit monitoring service ) on XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXXXXXX XXXX  central. I had been notified that my credit balance had changed. 

Turns out that whoever got this card, charged nearly the maximum to " XXXX XXXX '' within the week of XX/XX/XXXX, in XXXX, Idaho. 

I moved out of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to move to XXXX, TX. 

From this call, they launched an investigation, but refused to provide the 'sign up email ' and 'application phone number ' from the original application as it was 'under investigation ' ( understandable ). 

I feel that I gave them a fair opportunity by calling to ask Ally to cancel the application when I realized that I had not submitted it, as I lived XXXX miles away when it was filed and I had not been to that house in some time. That house is where my ex-husband lives. We have been trying to be amenable, and he is totally willing to help with gathering information. 

His name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX, he goes by XXXX. His number is XXXX and he has been alerted to a possible contact and wants to help.
