Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to request your immediate assistance with a fraudulent account that was opened under my name without my knowledge or authorization by XXXX. 

At the beginning of this year, I discovered that my Social Security Number was stolen and used to open several fraudulent accounts. I took all appropriate actions, including : Filing an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Filing a police report with the XXXX XXXX Police Department Notifying XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion, and submitting all necessary documents to verify my identity and dispute the accounts Contacting the companies directly that were involved While most companies cooperated in closing and removing the fraudulent accounts, XXXX has refused to close the account or remove it from my credit report, despite my repeated efforts. I have called their customer service many times, but each time I am either disconnected or my concerns are ignored. It is impossible to resolve the issue if they continue to avoid accountability and hang up on me. 

This situation has been incredibly stressful and damaging. I am convinced at this point that XXXX is not acting in good faith and is willfully obstructing the resolution of this identity theft case. 

I respectfully request that this fraudulent account be permanently and immediately removed from my credit report. I am prepared to provide any additional documentation or sensitive information required to support this case. 

Thank you in advance for your assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts. If you fail to investigate and correct this, I may pursue legal action under the FCRA and FDCPA ( 15 U.S. Code 1692e ) for deceptive and misleading reporting.

Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies on my credit report remain unresolved. This prolonged issue has led to ongoing financial strain and has severely impacted my well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been both frustrating and mentally exhausting. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history, including the timely correction or removal of any outdated or incorrect information. I am urging you to take immediate action to either update or delete the reported late payment entries. Continued failure to act would be a direct violation of my rights under federal law. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
Between XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, my account was unexpectedly frozen, and I was unable to access it online. I contacted the number provided, which directed me to the fraud department. At that time, they informed me that the funds in the account were not issued in my name, but provided no further explanation. 

I reached out to my client, who confirmed that the funds were indeed issued in my name. Either Truist contacted them or they contacted Truist to verify and correct the issue. The following week, my client informed me that the matter had been resolved.

However, when I followed up with Truist, I was told the issue was still under investigation and I would be contacted once it was complete. I was advised to call back in two days. Upon doing so, I was then informed that the account had been closed and that any remaining funds would be returned to the sender. This occurred near the end of XXXX. 

In XXXX, my client contacted me again, stating that the funds had not been returned. I followed up with Truist, only to be told they had no record of the account being closed. Then, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a statement, yet I still couldn't log into my online account. I called Truist again and was informed that a new investigation had been opened on XX/XX/XXXX, which could take up to 90 days to resolve. 

Meanwhile, my client again indicated the issue had been resolved on their end. When I contacted Truist for confirmation, they had no record of the issue being resolved. 

At this point, I simply want to close the account and receive the remaining balance so I can fulfill my obligations and conclude the contract with my client.
