The ad and chat clearly stated the laptop was a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

When I met the seller ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX., XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) he handed me a retail box labeled XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but the computer inside is a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( serial XXXX ). The seller deleted the listing and blocked further contact after the sale. 

I immediately filed BofA claim XXXX, which BofA coded XXXX XXXX Scam . 
XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX CT : phone supervisor XXXX verbally denied provisional credit and refused to send written confirmation. 
XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX. : branch manager XXXX XXXX XXXX uploaded my evidence but refused to print or email a claim summary, citing legal reasons. She also refused any written confirmation of the provisional-credit denial. 

I filed XXXX XXXX Police Incident XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX.

I have repeatedly requested : Written claim summary / explanation Confirmation of provisional-credit posting date Confirmation that my evidence packet ( ad, chat, XXXX receipt , retail-box photos, police report ) is on file To date, BofA has refused all written documentation and insists authorized XXXX scams are not covered by Reg E. I am seeking CFPB assistance to ( 1 ) receive the required written explanation and ( 2 ) obtain provisional credit as mandated by Reg E.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this statement along with two FTC Identity Theft Reports, a copy of my drivers license, and Social Security card in support of my complaint regarding fraudulent and inaccurate information being reported on my Equifax credit report.

I am a victim of identity theft, and my Equifax credit report contains multiple fraudulent accounts that I did not open or authorize. Additionally, the report lists several unknown addresses that I have never lived at or been associated with. For clarification, I should have only one valid address appearing on my credit report. 



There are also multiple variations of my name being reported by Equifax. I would like to make it clear that I have only one legal name, and any other name variations listed are incorrect and not authorized.

Furthermore, my report reflects several hard inquiries that I did not initiate or authorize. These unauthorized inquiries are a violation of my consumer rights and further evidence of fraudulent activity.

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assist in investigating these issues and ensuring that equifax, deletes or corrects the fraudulent and inaccurate information on my credit file. I have taken steps to protect my identity and am providing official identification documents to verify my identity such as Driver 's license, SS card, and FTC Reports Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter. 



Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Transworld Systems is attempting to contact a person named XXXX XXXX using my home address ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX ) and phone numbers XXXX and XXXX. I do not know this individual, and he has no connection to me, my family, or my property. 

I have already informed XXXX that XXXX XXXX does not live at this address, and I am the legal owner of the property. Despite this, collection mail from Transworld Systems continues to arrive. Even more concerning, I recently received a call on my personal cell phone, which has no link to XXXX XXXX or his debts. This is a violation of my privacy. 

This is a clear case of misidentification. Their attempts to use my address and phone number in connection with this individual are unfounded and must stop immediately. 

If Transworld Systems continues to contact me or my husband, XXXX XXXX XXXX, by phone or mail, I will be forced to pursue legal action for harassment and violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I am demanding : Immediate cessation of all contact with us. 
Permanent removal of our address and phone numbers from their systems. 
Written confirmation that no further communication will be attempted. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
