Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I did not approve these transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these accounts be blocked and removed from my record. This is not a mistake or a misrepresentation. These transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction. 

I am stressing this to highlight the seriousness of my request. It is based on accurate information, and I am not attempting to deceive or manipulate the situation in any way. My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, there were fraudulent charges to my Citibank credit card for purchases that were not made or authorized by me. In XX/XX/XXXX, I notified Citibank credit card about charges on account that were not made by me, owner of said credit card. Citibank was to investigate and to advise as to the next steps to be taken. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, charges were reversed on said account, which equaled a XXXX balance. The following month the charges were re-added, plus late fees and interest charges. 
After receiving the XX/XX/XXXX statement, I talked with Citibank XXXX Department many times to many people. The charges are for companies that do not exist nor do they have valid telephone numbers as shown on the credit card statements. 
Citibank XXXX Department indicated YES this is a scam, but have yet to correct the problem as of XX/XX/XXXX. I have never purchased in the past from either vendor. 
The vendors in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX -- XXXX ( per XX/XX/XXXX, this number has been disconnected ) XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( sales rep answered phone as customer service and does not identify the company or the product. She does not know the business name of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXnd mentioned that her company deals with promotions. ) Due to Citibank 's actions, my XXXX XXXX has been severely damaged.

Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
The company responded to a previous complaint, case number XXXX, stating I closed on an FHA loan XXXX The company did not respond to my concerns about them not reviewing my loan for FHA modification options. They are servicing my loan as a conventional loan, which was told to me when I spoke with the Single Point of Contact. My loan has been modified but not refinanced, which means it should remain an FHA loan. My loan has not been considered for any FHA loss mitigation options, including partial claim or FHA HAMP.

Also, my SPOC advised me the income used for my loss mitigation application was {$0.00}, although I submitted evidence of income. If the income documents were not sufficient, the SPOC should have contacted me and assisted me with completing my package so it would be accurate when going to the underwriter. Instead, the package is being sent incomplete, so the underwriter can decline loan workout assistance.
