Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this CFPB Complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b, and the Credit Bureaus ' failure to address the issues raised to their attention. I have been a victom of fraudulent activities and the accounts and information they have been reporting on my Crediet File are the results of such crime. I previously asked the Major Credit Reporting Agencies to remove investigate and remove the accounts and information that resulted due to fraud but upon viewing a copy of my updated Credit report, I am disappointed to see that the Credit Bureaus did not act accordingly. The following items should have been removed fro my Credit File, but instead, the Credit Bureaus continued reporting these items without properly verifying the items : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX, XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$1700.00} XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023. I have read the Credit Bureaus ' respomce via the CFPB and they claim that the items they report are accurate yet they have failed to provide supporting documents. If what the Credit Bureaus claim is true and that the disputed items belong to me, I need them to present necessary supporting documents bearing my signature. And in the event the Credit Bureaus fail to do so, I expect the Credit Bureaus to remove the disputed items as soon as possible.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
When looking at my credit score and history, a credit card shows up that I have no idea of till just recently. It is 99 % capacity, $ XXXX out of $ XXXX. The card was made back in 2016, when I was a minor! This literally showed up on the credit report randomly like magic. There's literally no way for me to pay any of that cause I didn't spend it or have access to the card. I can not get a hold of the bank, CITIBank cause, again, I have no access to the account. Even with access to the account and me magically having that much money, credit score predictor shows that I can not revive my previously good credit score. I have had a fraud alert on the identity and credit for these last couple of months, so this is even more fraudulent, When double checking my credit through XXXX, I got a number to call support and the only human I got was for debit accounts. which wasn't helpful cause I have no idea any of the information that is associated with this account. How are they even connected to me but I don't have any access?! My ssn isn't even connected!
