XXXX XXXX continues to assess a penalty fee of {$8.00} on every Direct Debit payment. I have attempted innumerable times to remove this fee via the online portal. All efforts have failed. All inquiries have fallen on deaf ears. Please see that the additional fee is removed immediately. This is just one more example of XXXX XXXX unethical and unlawful billing practices. The Department is on notice and is therefore complicit in the illegal conduct. As a veteran who proudly served this country, I find this conduct atrocious. Both organizations should be ashamed.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted XXXX and Transunion during the week of XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX. I called in reference to inquries that i had not appointed. I told the represenative that knowing what my current credit status there was no reason for me to be applying for credit. The only reason by law for my credit to be checked is : In response to a court order or federal grand jury subpoena ; To manage the risk of current or potential credit or insurance accounts that were initiated by you ; for employment purposes, with your written permission ; for the purposes of a potential investor assessing the risk of a current obligation ; in connection with your application for a license or other benefit granted by the government, when consideration of financial responsibility is required by law ; in connection with a business transaction initiated by you ; in connection with a child support determination, under certain circumstances ; in connection with a credit or insurance transaction not initiated by you, when a firm offer of credit or insurance is extended, and certain other restrictions are met. 

None of these inquiries fall into those categories. I am asking for immediate removal of these inquiries from my credit report.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX, U.S. Bank opened or allowed to be opened a premier line of credit ( account number ending in digits XXXX ) without my permission, consent, or signature. Attempts to address this issue with U.S. Bank resulted in a harassment call from an attorney in their fraud department ( contact was from XXXX, call dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX ). 

I also visited a U.S. Bank branch on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX, MO branch - manager XXXX XXXX ) and inquired to see a copy of the original application for credit. I was informed that despite my name and personal information being attached to this line of credit that U.S. Bank would not provide a copy of the original application for credit unless required to do so under subpoena. 

U.S. Bank has been completely unhelpful and are acting solely in their own interests after it appears they engaged in illegal and fraudulent creation of a credit line using my personal information.

Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a " request for full file disclosure '' by mail using the form provided by LexisNexis over 80 days ago during the first week of XX/XX/XXXX. Including a copy of my current drivers licence ( NYS ) and a current copy of my current bank statement ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I received no response from LexisNexis. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a second request including the same information and required documentation to verify my identity and address. Again receiving no response until today when I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. Which states " You recently requested your full file disclosure '' and " because we have not received enough information to authenticate your identity, we are unable to fulfill your request. ". Included was another of the same form previously used to submit my request. 
I believe these extreme delays and the response of LexisNexis is inappropriate and a violation.
