Complaint narrative:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. This is not a duplicate nor is the complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 


If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the items are verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with SELF on XX/XX/2022. Closed account on XX/XX/2022 with XXXX balance. Paid administrative fee of {$9.00}. 

During my process of opening credit builder loan, SELF stated that account would be reported to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit bureaus at the end of each month including late payments XXXX late. 

As of today account is not reported to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit bureaus.
