Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: LEXISNEXIS
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a formally disputing of several fraudulent items on my credit report that are the result of identity theft. Upon obtaining a recent copy of my credit report, I discovered unauthorized fraudulent accounts, personal information and credit inquiries that do not belong to me.

Enclosed with this letter are the documents supporting my claim, including a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) identity theft report. Please note that the FTC identity theft report is legit and accurately reflects the identity theft incident. I request that you do not question its authenticity and use it as grounds to delay investigating and removing these fraudulent items from my credit report.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 605B 1681C-2 and 611 1681E, you are legally required to BLOCK AND REMOVE the fraudulent information from my credit report within four business days.

These sections mandate your obligations as a credit reporting agency to protect consumers in cases of identity theft and to promptly investigate and eliminate unauthorized fraudulent information.

Complaint narrative:
I currently have approximately XXXX ( ~ {$670.00} USD ) worth of XXXX held in my Cash App account under the name XXXX XXXX XXXX. The funds were purchased legitimately using my linked debit card. 

Due to a mistake where my brother entered his Social Security Number on my account during setup, the account has been flagged. However, I have since submitted my correct SSN, government-issued ID, verified debit card, and residential address. I am the rightful owner of this account, and Cash App support has acknowledged this. 

Despite confirming my identity, Cash App has refused to : Allow me to sell or withdraw my XXXX  Let me send it to an external wallet Provide any way to recover the locked funds When I contacted support and disclosed the situation, they responded with a dismissive create a new account response, ignoring the fact that there are funds trapped in the account. They have offered no path to recover them, nor to correct the SSN discrepancy. 

This is unacceptable. I am being denied access to my legally owned assets, with no due process or reasonable option for recovery. Cash Apps refusal to resolve the issue or escalate it to someone capable of authorizing a transfer has left me with no choice but to escalate this to the CFPB. 

I am requesting one of the following : 1. Immediate unlocking of my ability to sell/withdraw the XXXX, or 2. A manual transfer of the XXXX to an external wallet I control, or 3. A full refund equivalent to the current value of the XXXX, returned to my linked debit card or bank account.

Complaint narrative:
I am still receiving collection calls and calls from a process center in reference to a Capital One account that not only has been paid with other collection agencies but I have already filed complaints about this issue. This issue continues although I have notified the original creditor as well as cfpb about the issue. Not only are these calls coming to me but to members of my family and they were never associated with this account in any way. 

This is getting ridiculous and I need someone to work on my behalf and get this to cease for good. 

Please refer to complaint numbers : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. 

The original account was a Capital One account with number XXXX, This is what the internet says when I XXXX  the number that called me : Calls from the number XXXX are likely scams, and you should be cautious about providing any information or making any payments to the caller. 

Why calls from this number are likely scams : Threats of legal action : Calls that immediately threaten legal action or lawsuits are often a tactic used by scammers to scare you into acting without thinking. 

Requests for payment over the phone : Legitimate debt collectors or legal entities will usually send formal written notices and documentation, not demand immediate payment over the phone to " settle '' a case. 

Lack of detailed information : Scammers often lack specific details about the alleged debt or case they are calling about. 

Unsolicited requests for personal information : Be wary of calls that ask for personal information, such as your Social Security number, as this could be an attempt at identity theft. 

I am not responding to these calls and have notified my family not to answer calls and to block the number.

Complaint narrative:
For the past several months I have been using cash app to receive funds and transfer those phones to my linked Bank account. I had no issues with the transfer. It was very quick and easy. On XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to once again transfer funds from my cash app account to my bank account. I received a message asking me to link my bank account. I do not know when it became " unlinked '' or why I was being asked to add it again. I was asked to click on terms and agreement for more information. The agreement states that by linking my bank account, I agree to give XXXX access to my baking login, password, my Social Security number, my date of birth, all of my banking transactions, all of my phone data including contacts and all information saved on my phone, my Banking balance and more! As a customer, I received NO notification that my banking account was being unlinked. I received no notification that cash app was making a change to some of their services. I was simply met with a requirement to re-add my bank account as well as give plaid access to every bit of personal financial information associated with my entire. I see no reason for that much and that type of sensitive personal I formation to be required to continue using cashapp or any other app. I feel like this is a scam to defraud customers. 

Now, my {$1600.00} is sitting in my cashapp account and I have no way to retrieve it, unless I give some unknown company I've never even heard of and completely distrust, 100 % access to everything In my life. I can't speak to a live person at cashapp about others option to retrieve ny money.

I am once again writing to address a fraudulent item that continues to appear on my credit report. Despite taking the proper steps to resolve this, including filing an FTC Identity Theft Report as instructed by Experian and submitting the necessary documentation, the unauthorized entry remains. This has gone on for far too long. My credit report also contains inaccurate personal information, which is likely contributing to the appearance of this account that I have never had any connection to. I am a victim of identity theft, and my information was used without my knowledge or consent.
