Complaint narrative:
I XXXX XXXX : I hereby submit a formal complaint against EARLY WARNING SERVICES FOR discrimination, retaliation, bank fraud, wire fraud, and violations of the RICO Act, infringing upon my rights under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), and other pertinent federal laws. III. Active Complaints with FBI, FTC, and CFPB : This grievance is not isolated. The FBI, FTC, and CFPB have active complaints regarding similar issues with EARLY WARNING SERVICES, highlighting a pattern of potentially illegal practices by the company. IV. Allegations of Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud, and RICO Violations : Bank Fraud : I have reasons to believe that EARLY WARNING SERVICES has knowingly engaged in deceptive practices to defraud banks or other financial institutions, which is a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1344. Wire Fraud : EARLY WARNING SERVICES is suspected of using interstate wire communications to defraud consumers, violating 18 U.S.C. 1343. Their actions have not only harmed my financial standing but have also illegally profited by using deceptive practices. RICO Violations : EARLY WARNING actions suggest a pattern of racketeering activity. By accepting financial incentives for reporting, they may be in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations ( RICO ) Act, specifically 18 U.S.C. 1961-1968. V. Discrimination : EARLY WARNING SERVICES has not only failed to unlock my CONSUMER report despite numerous requests but also appears to be discriminating against me based on my race, violating the ECOA. VI. Retaliation : Their refusal to address previous complaints and unlock my CONSUMER report seems retaliatory for filing federal complaints, violating principles of fairness and justice. VII. Discrepancies with Other Credit Bureaus : Other credit bureaus, namely EARLY WARNING SERVICES, have adhered to federal laws by deleting inaccurate information from my credit reports. EARLY WARNING SERVICES refusal to do the same raises serious concerns about their practices. VIII. Legal Action : If these issues remain unaddressed, I intend to escalate this matter legally, seeking remedies for the harm inflicted upon me due to racial discrimination, bank fraud, wire fraud, and RICO violations. IX. Conclusion : I urge the CFPB and DOJ to investigate these serious allegations against EARLY WARNING SERVICES. Their practices have caused significant harm and warrant thorough examination and intervention by your esteemed agencies. I anticipate your prompt attention to this grave matter. I CANT BUY A HOUSE IM NOW HOMELESS BECAUSE I CANT experience OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT EVERYTIME I TRY TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT THEY TELL ME EARLY WARNING SERVICES IS REPORTING NEGATIVELY ON MY CONSUMER FILE BECAUSE THEY ARE REPORTING NEGATIVE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE NOT MINES Find attached an FTC identity theft REPORT as proof I give you 4 working days to resolve this issue as this account status is defaming my character and I have lost a lot of business relationship and ability to business with creditors. Because of this defamation of character, I have suffered emotional and financial damages for years and you have also stolen from me. This is the first time I am speaking in years of suffering and pain as a victim of identity theft. You have 4 working days. Kindly take this seriously. Regards XXXX XXXX.
