Company: Central Portfolio Control Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
During my divorce proceedings 5 years ago, my ex fraudulently filed her personal taxes, claiming sole custody of our children for dates when she was still living under my roof, and not reporting her private home cleaning business income, at the same time reporting a greatly exaggerated income for myself. Resultantly, the IRS rejected my filing and demanded that I pay additional fees and fines. My XXXX XXXX didn't inform me, so I didn't find out until nearly 8 months later, at which time I called to report the issues to the IRS. They didn't care and demanded immediate payment which I refused for the causes stated above. The following year, the IRS abandoned their claim, but a collection agency named " Central Portfolio Control '' purchased the " debt '', and have been trying to recover it for 3 years now. I responded to their initial emails with the explanation previously given, and the attempts stopped for a while. They have recently begun calling my cell phone from multiple fake numbers and call centers, even after I explained that the debt was not valid ( twice verbally and once via email ). Now they have begun calling my family members on their private cellular and home phones, pretending to be account managers and requesting my cell phone number or other personal contact information. This is a blatant violation, and is harassing and dishonest in nature- it needs to be stopped, and those responsible need to be fined or charged for their dishonest and illegal actions.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I got a letter in the mail today XX/XX/XXXX saying XXXX XXXX XXXX is sueing me for {$12000.00}. Me, myself and I have NEVER opened an account with them and I never took out a loan. Someone else used my name, an old address, and social security number to open this account and it worked! I never knew about this account until I started to receive letters in the mail stating I owe a balance and needed to make payments. That's when I gave comenity capital bank a call and filed a complaint. Apparently comenity bank is now XXXX XXXX XXXX. They told I had to file an affidavit on this website. I'm not sure where to go from here but I've been trying to dispute this claim ever since I found out about it in XX/XX/XXXX. They said I gave consent and signed paperwork. I never did that. I never received a call from any bank asking for my consent. I never showed up in person. The person that committed the fraud had an old copy of my ID, forge my signature and was able to get away with just that. I'm still not sure how this happened but I want answers and will do whatever I need to do to get this right. Please let me know what information you will need so I can remove this debt because it does not belong to me.

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account less than 30 days ago through Citizens Bank. I had one direct deposit, which I used to pay bills. This Monday ( XX/XX/20 ), they randomly closed my account. Today was my payday and my money was deposited into my account but I can't access it because my account was frozen and closed. They are giving me the runaround and telling me to call all these different numbers and contact the fraud line because my account was somehow marked as fraud, apparently. They want me to provide my account number so they can give me info but I can't even access my account number because I am LOCKED OUT OF MY ACCOUNT. AND now I won't get my money until they send me a check on XX/XX/XXXX, which is AFTER my bills are due from this paycheck period.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
