Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this letter. My name is XXXX XXXX and I am requesting a goodwill adjustment to remove three closed accounts from my credit reports. 
Im writing this letter because back in XX/XX/XXXX, I was fired from my job due to my employer firing me because I brought up that they were miss paying me. I was a full-time employee working 40 hours each week, I got paid every 2 weeks, but my paychecks were only for one week of work. For two and a half years this was happening to me, I was getting missed paid. I brought this to their attention, and I was fired because of it. Before this happened, I never missed a Credit Card payment, my credit score was great and was saving for my future. 

When I lost my job I still needed to pay my bills and I got myself into debt {$11000.00} with three different accounts, ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) I do understand that I could of handle the situation better and I do take full responsible but at this time was XXXX years old and was the sole provided for brother and sister who was living with me and still in high school. As soon as I was aware of my debt and I knew I couldnt handle it on my own anymore I enrolled in a debt relief program back in XXXX of XXXX, to help me get a grip on my payments. I completed the program as of XX/XX/XXXX never missing a payment, paid my debt back and got back in a good place with my creditors by opening a new credit card with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) back in XX/XX/XXXX and never missing a payment. I also was able to get an auto loan with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) back in XX/XX/XXXX and paid in full back by XX/XX/XXXX. 
I have tried everything to fix my credit, but it seems like I am stuck and must wait 7 to 10 years till they are removed from my report. I am almost XXXX now and trying to buy a home and start my own family but I keep running into issues because of my credit report and score. The negative impact of these accounts could result in a denial for a loan or a much higher interest rate that could cost me a significant amount of money. If you could make the goodwill adjustment requested by removing the three closed accounts from my report, I believe it will significantly improve my chances of approval and save me unnecessary costs in the process. 
Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to equifax about removing my fraud alert after being a victim of identity theft. I spoke to a representative named XXXX XXXX who had me verify my identity by providing my social and id. We had an email interaction while doing this ( his email was XXXX ). He mentioned that there was an issue with my report but that he had successfully removed my alert and freeze but that he would call me in 1 hour to confirm. I never received the call during those times so I decided to check my account on equifax to see if it was resolved. I noticed that the report was not longer showing the alert/freeze HOWEVER, my report had complete incorrect information!!! 

- An account that I been an owner for XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX WAS NOW - SHOWING AS AUTHORIZED USER WHICH WAS INCORRECT. 
- An account that I had removed XXXX XXXX  XXXX was back in my report! 
- Total of 4 inquiries were now ADDED to my report from the past!! ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAD 1 AS OF XX/XX/XXXX!!! 

This means that whenever this representative corrected my information, he changed the account status of my account and also added these inquiries that did not belong to me and were no longer there as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called multiple times on XX/XX/XXXX but i could not get transferred to the same representantive! I also could not anyone to understand my issue and they all kept saying that it was correct however this was not the case. 

I have attached a report pulled from the equifax website as of XX/XX/XXXX which was showing the correct info. I also attached the CURRENT INCORRECT report which shows all of these incorrect changes! 

I demand an explanation of the miss handling of my report immediately and my account to be corrected. 

I demand these old inquiries to be removed XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I demand the account XXXX XXXX  to be corrected as OWNER and NOT Authorized user. 

I also demand compensation, I have spent countless of hours trying to recover myself from being a victim of identity theft and I have received nothing but inexperienced customer support. This is not affecting my financial situation and its not acceptable. It is clearly a violation of my FCRA RIGHTS.

For 5 years I have been requesring a copy of the signed and dated permissible permission used by Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) to access my credit report in XX/XX/2017. I require this to use in court of law. HOWEVER, Experian refuses like a " hot potato '' and sends to XXXX who labels requests as duplicates or sends me requests for more of my personal information to do a fraud investigation. WHEN I was just requesting a valid copy of the permissible permission. WHY are Experian and XXXX ignoring and refusing me the valid copy of this permissible permission?????????? If neither have it, just come clean and tell me instead of acting like childish attorneys.

Complaint narrative:
Signed up for the Chase Freedom cash-back credit card as they offer 5 % cash back on travel bookings. Booked 4 significantly expensive flights at {$2200.00} and {$650.00} only to find out that I didnt receive the 5 % rate since, I did not book through Chases travel portal website and instead got 1 %. No where was this stated so I missed out on the larger percentage. This is incredibly misleading and frustrating! Since the whole reason I went through the process of getting this card including dinging my credit score for an inquiry, was for this very travel purchase. When I called Chase, they told me nothing could be done and in the future to use the portal to get the 5 %.
