Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, an individual who was previously employed by me as my right hand man, breached and stole my identity and gained unauthorized access to my credit, even resorting to accessing my mail. It is with a heavy heart that I recount the events that led to this unfortunate situation. 

XXXX XXXX was employed by me in the position of XXXX XXXX at my company from XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX. During his tenure with our organization, it became evident that XXXX XXXX had several character flaws and engaged in dishonest practices, which ultimately led to his termination. 

Dishonesty : XXXX XXXX displayed a consistent pattern of dishonesty during his time at our company. This included making false statements, manipulating financial records, and failing to adhere to company policies and ethical standards. 

Anger Issues : XXXX XXXX 's conduct also raised significant concerns regarding his emotional stability and anger management. On multiple occasions, he exhibited outbursts of anger and aggressive behavior towards colleagues, creating a hostile work environment. 

Access to Personal Information : As part of his role, XXXX XXXX had access to sensitive company information, including personal data of employees and clients. This access gave him an opportunity to gain unauthorized access to my personal information. 

It has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX, after being terminated, stole my identity and gain access to credit in my name. He went to great lengths, including accessing my mail, to achieve his fraudulent objectives. To address this breach of security, I have since recently implemented measures such as mail digests and heightened security protocols to safeguard my personal information. 

Upon uncovering these grave violations, we took immediate action to terminate XXXX XXXX 's employment and reported the identity theft attempts to the appropriate authorities. We have been fully cooperating with law enforcement agencies and have taken measures to enhance our security protocols to prevent such incidents in the future. 

I want to assure you that I deeply regret any inconvenience or harm caused as a result of XXXX XXXX 's actions. Identity theft is a serious matter, and we are committed to assisting in the ongoing investigation to bring him to justice.

This is a follow up to Complaint XXXX that you closed after referring to FDIC. 

The credit card company, Aspire, that is part of the prior complaint. They have responded to me by email and asked for a copy of XXXX XXXX XXXX 's death certificate. As I previously commented to them, I am not a member of XXXX XXXX XXXX 's family and do not have access to her death certificate.

Made purchases through XXXX store online. I pay all of my bills through my bank 's online Bill-Pay and have for at least a decade.

I NEVER have an issue with my payments being late yet every single payment made to : ComenityXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX has been late ( according to them ) and fees plus interest have accrued. I called them numerous times and asked the " late '' fees and interest be removed a according to my bank, were not late. It appears, Comenity Bank is HOLDING my payment for 2-3 weeks before crediting my account. I've even had numerous other store credit cards through Comenity with no issues. I was told by their Customer Service IF I did not close my account they would remove late fees and interest. They did not. They continue to harass me. Payments were due the XXXX of the month and per my bank, were received by then. I'm certain it must be illegal to withhold payments to charge late fees/interest.
