Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my continued concern and frustration regarding the second unsuccessful attempt to remove fraudulent items from my credit file with Credit Bureaus. Despite my previous communications and efforts to rectify this issue, the unauthorized entries persist, causing considerable distress and potential harm to my financial standing. 


Discovered unauthorized and fraudulent entries on my credit report. 
Immediately reported the fraudulent items to your dispute resolution department, providing all necessary details and supporting documentation. 

Received acknowledgment of my initial dispute but witnessed no immediate action on the removal of the fraudulent entries. 

Followed up with the dispute resolution department to inquire about the progress, expressing the urgency of the matter. 

Despite assurances, the fraudulent items remain on my credit report after the second attempt, causing additional stress and potential financial repercussions. 

I understand that resolving these matters can be complex, but the persistence of these fraudulent entries is highly concerning and unacceptable. 

I urgently request the following actions : Immediate and thorough re-investigation into the fraudulent entries on my credit report. 

Transparent communication regarding the steps being taken to identify and remove the unauthorized items. 

Swift removal of the fraudulent entries from my credit report and a confirmation of their removal. 

Assurance that my credit report will be accurately updated, reflecting the successful removal of the fraudulent items. 

Compensation for the inconvenience, stress, and potential financial impact caused by the delayed resolution and second unsuccessful attempt. 

I insist on a resolution within the exact timeframe from the date of this letter. Failure to address this matter promptly will compel me to escalate my complaint through appropriate regulatory channels. I am asking for your assistance to remove the fraud items in my credit file : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I received a XXXX XXXX card from a previous employer. The XXXX card was accessed via XXXX The card had an expiration date of XX/XX/XXXX. 

Today, XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX PT, I attempted to use the XXXX card to purchase an XXXX XXXX order. I received an error message that it was an invalid card. 

I logged onto the website XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and signed in and verified that there was still a balance on the card XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I attempted to get help via the " XXXX XXXX '' option on the website but also called the company at the number provided. While I was on hold with the XXXX XXXX, I discovered via the automated phone service that my card " had expired ''. I was unable to get on the phone with a live person. This was around XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX PT. 

When I finally got through to the XXXX XXXX on the website, I explained to the representative that I was getting an error while trying to use the card and that it was still XX/XX/XXXX so the card had not expired yet. The representative told me that the card was expired and that I could request a replacement. However the fee to request a replacement card was XXXX and I did not want to pay that fee, as the card had not officially expired yet! 

The representative told me that the card had indeed expired because the card followed XXXX time. I asked the representative to direct me to a place on the website that specified that the card expired on XXXX time. The agent responded that he was unable to provide that, as that information was not stated on the website. He told me to check my card holder agreement. 

I told him that I already had checked my card holder agreement and that nowhere was it stated that the card followed XXXX time. I copy and pasted the only verbiage on expiration dates, which states : " Expiration- The Card expires on the date printed on the front of it. Because funds on the Card expire when the Card expires, you will not be able to use the XXXX after the expiration date and a replacement Card will not be available. '' I pointed out that the card holder agreement only stated that the card expires on the date printed on the front of it ( which is XX/XX/XXXX in this case ) and since it was still XX/XX/XXXX where I am located ( XXXX time ), the card was not expired. 

The agent was adamant that he could do nothing and that my only recourse was to request a replacement for a XXXX fee. I stated that the fee was not warranted because the card is not considered expired under the terms of the card holder agreement. The agent disconnected the chat after that.

Complaint narrative:
Midland credit management is a financial institution by definition and alleges they sent me a validation letter and that they legally can violate my right to privacy. I need documentary proof of the 3 notices that should have been sent to me before this company reported anything on my consumer report. I never had any agreement with midland or any other company they are referencing. I need proof of a letter stating midland would be reporting to my consumer report where they gave me an opportunity to sign my signature approving of this or admitting I owe them any debt. I never had an agreement with the alleged original creditor so I definitely dont have any agreement with midland credit management XXXX Midland credit management as a financial institution does not have any rights that trump my right to privacy as a consumer
