Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to formally dispute fraudulent information appearing on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2. I am requesting that this information be blocked or removed immediately. Attached to this letter is my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to the referenced law, when a consumer submits a valid identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following account listed on my credit report is the direct result of identity theft and must be blocked immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be blocked from my credit file without delay. The block should remain in place for a period of one year, with the option to extend if needed. During this period, no information related to this account may be reported. 
I have made multiple attempts to contact EXPERIAN to report this issue, but I have not received a clear or satisfactory resolution. 
I am currently going through a difficult financial time, and these accounts are seriously affecting my ability to achieve financial stability for myself and my family. 
Its important to note that other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts due to lack of verification, so I do not understand why this agency continues to report them as valid. Furthermore, I requested copies of any contracts or documents supposedly linking me to these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without a response. 
I kindly ask for your support and understanding, and I urge you to take immediate action to block or remove these accounts. This situation is causing significant personal and financial harm.

Complaint narrative:
Ok So nothing vulgar or abusive. 

My issue is they call and don't introduce themselves. They refuse until I acknowledge who I am. If I constantly ask who/what entity is calling, they then ask " Are you refusing this call? '' Of course my response is : " I don't know If I am refusing this call. I don't know who you are! '' I feel like that is a very dangerous legality question.... and a sort of forced coercion to phish information from me... 

If they would just say they are the collections for my mortgage I'd have no issue identifying myself and letting them know why I haven't paid yet.. 

Is this tactic illegal? My calls are recorded, I can prove what I say here.

I was sent a text from a number with the ID of Wells Fargo, to ask if I approve of someone trying to spend money in Texas. I said No, and a number called me, also with the ID of Wells Fargo. They already had much of my information, but told me my account had been compromised, and that we needed to move money for me to have access to it while they investigated the fraud. They told me to enter in my new account number and stole {$9500.00} out of my account. It turns out this scam is actually pretty popular, as it has been in the news and all over the internet.

Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I received a Vanilla Visa Gift Card for my birthday in XX/XX/year>. I attempted to activate and use it in XX/XX/year>, but the card showed a {$0.00} balance. I called Vanilla customer service and was told there had been a processing issue at the time of the original purchase ( by the retailer ) that resulted in no funds being loaded onto the card. 

I was then told the only way to resolve the issue was to provide the purchase receipt. I do not have this receipt because I received the card as a gift, and the purchase occurred nearly 8 months ago. 

Vanilla has acknowledged the card was never funded but refuses to assist without documentation that I do not have. This is extremely unfair to me as a consumer who received the card in good faith. I still have the physical card and can verify its number. Vanilla is effectively allowing a system where someone pays money for a card, but the recipient gets nothing and has no recourse.
