Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In early XXXX, maybe around the XXXX or XXXX, I received a new credit card from the Home Depot in the mail. I thought it odd I got a new card. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the new card had a different account number than my original card. I went online to check my account and noticed new charges that I did not make. I disputed the charges online. Then more charges occurred so I reached out by phone to discuss the issue with Home Depot customer support. After talking with one of their security representatives, I found out that charges had been made on my actual account and disputed those. Additionally, this new account had been opened in my name without my knowledge and was being charged as well. I was told that the accounts would both be closed and investigated. The charges on my original account were reversed. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Home Depot saying that the new account was determined to be my responsibility and I would need to pay those charges. I intend to file an appeal. I have frozen my credit and placed a fraud alert for one year on my credit as well. I also filed a police report about the suspected Identity Theft. However, I read that I should file a report with CFPB, especially now that Home Depot is attempting to hold me responsible for a credit card account that they allowed to be opened fraudulently using my personal information.

Be advised this is not a refusal to pay OUTSTANDING Until verification or the result of the investigation is completed and sent to the individual, we are requesting deletion ( s ). If you are unable to provide me with the proper PROOF ; then you must stop attempting to collect this alleged debt and remove it immediately from my consumer reporting agencies ( CRAs ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the multiple unsuccessful attempts to remove unknown inquiries from my credit report. I have diligently followed the dispute process outlined by your bureau, yet the unauthorized inquiries persist on my credit file. 

I first became aware of unauthorized inquiries on my credit report during a routine check. 

I submitted multiple dispute letters providing all necessary documentation to prove that I did not authorize these inquiries. 

Despite my repeated attempts, the unauthorized inquiries remain on my credit report. 

I have attached copies of the dispute letters, along with the supporting documents, for your reference. 

This situation is not only causing undue stress but also has the potential to harm my creditworthiness. I am particularly concerned about the negative impact this may have on my ability to secure favorable terms for future financial transactions. 

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and provide a detailed explanation for the persistence of these unknown inquiries. Furthermore, I expect prompt action to rectify this issue and a confirmation of the removal of these unauthorized entries from my credit report. 

If this matter is not resolved withinthe exact timeframe from the date of this letter, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint to relevant consumer protection agencies and legal authorities. 

I believe in the importance of a fair and accurate credit reporting system, and I trust that your bureau will take the necessary steps to address and rectify this situation promptly. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent inquiries in my credit file XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
