Complaint narrative:
I am filing this report due to a critical concern regarding my FICO score. This is the fourth time I am submitting a complaint in regard to the same situation that has happened multiple times over the past year ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ). On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score through Experian was XXXX. The score factors indicated that I have no missed payments, I have limited the use of my available revolving credit, I have an established credit history, and I have shown recent use of credit cards and/or bank issued open-ended accounts ( see attachment ). On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score indicated a decrease to XXXX. No factors were given for the drop. The only activity indicated for the period was " The total balance on all you XXXX account ( s ) has decreased by {$41.00}. '' My credit report has no negative accounts or information. How can my score decrease when there was no negative activity ( reported or otherwise ) whatsoever within 18 days? I have no inactive accounts reported to any of the credit bureaus. I also have only two credit cards reported and a mortgage, none of which are in delinquency or late. I have contacted the credit bureaus multiple times in the past to inquire why my credit score has gone down without any reason. Not a single customer service representative at any of the credit bureaus I contacted have provided an explanation. Over a 25-year span of building my immaculate credit, this significant drop is catastrophic and is a detriment to my personal and business financial burden ( i.e., line of credit, merchant account, property rentals, mortgage, insurance, credit cards, auto loans, equipment rental, terms of leases, business investments, and bank loans ). Credit standing is my blueprint and having a lower score can affect my standing with any reputable financial institution.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX over {$3000.00} was taken from my square business banking account by way of ATM transactions. I noticed on the XXXX when I received a text saying a transaction was denied for insufficient funds. I knew I hadn't made a transaction and should have had plenty of money in the account. I immediately filled disputes with square. I was unsure how these ATM transactions could've happened because my card had been in my possession the whole time. I believe my card was skimmed at a gas pump. I filed police reports in my home state and also the city where the incidents occurred. I was told by the police in the city where they occurred that they don't investigate under {$20000.00}. I have called square multiple times, only to be told the disputes were closed, there are no supervisors you can speak to, they'll escalate my case and wait XXXX business days for a response. They continually email me that I need to take it up with the merchant. I have filed a dispute with thXXXX XXXX  and filed a fraud report. I do have receipts for some of the transactions because I have chosen to receive text receipts from XXXX ATMs. Unfortunately I didn't realize what they were until it was too late.
