State: CO

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2022 I applied for a credit card through capital one. I was approved for a quicksilver secured XXXX and needed to make a deposit of {$200.00} towards the card to receive it in the mail. I entered my savings account number and the {$200.00} was taken out of my account. When I called to change the mailing address for the credit card, capital one claimed, there was nothing under that name or social security number. After a week of calling capital one every day and getting no help, Im deciding to put this into my own hands as fraud or neglect because the {$200.00} was already taken out of my savings and capital one cant seem to find anything in my name.

Complaint narrative:
I have tried numerous attempts with Equifax to dispute information that's fraudulent, on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX appeared on repport with an original date is from XX/XX/XXXX. At every dispute whether by mail online of phone Equifax has changed the collection date each time to reflect the date that I have filed dispute as the time the item was opened making it seem like a brand new collection therby crashing my credit by over XXXX pts each time. 
I am attaching screen shots of my credit crashingXXXX  points then went up XXXX then back down againXXXX points again each month in dispute with XXXX having a yo-yo score 9 times. 
I filed police report and on XX/XX/XXXX and faxed it Equifax for the second time to Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. Each time I have to wait 1 week for it to show up in their system. Each time the report never arrived in Equifax system byt I have email confirmation that the faxes were infact deleivered. 
I did some research an foun XXXX XXXX is collecting this account for XXXX XXXX which is a commerical merchant processing bank of some kind for businesses, not people. I am attaching a screenshot of the company XXXX XXXX represents. 

I demand an immediate resolution to this nightmare. I am attaching the police report, the " Commercial Creditor '' name I found to be related to XXXX XXXX XXXX which shows its a merchant credit card processor and my credit score going up and down every few days. 
I have been denied credit 3 times specifically because of Equifax ' willfull negligence on this account. Equifax has zero representatives to speak to in the United States which makes it an even worse nightmare, giving my personal information to someone in another country who in the end has royally screwed up my file everytime they have touched it.

There is a police report and Equifax MUST remove this account now. I was also a vicitm of Equifax ' data breach and Im wondering if this how this fraud came about?

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
Someone used my identify and opened a credit card with BestBuy/Citi on XX/XX/2021. The person put on three purchases totaling approximately {$12000.00} without any payment. The phone number was not mine.

I was totally unaware of the account ( no statements ever reached me ) until yesterday when my other credit cards were frozen due to the severe late payment on this credit account unknown to me. Three credit bureaus downloaded my credit scores as a result. 

I reached out to Citi Card ( Identity Theft : XXXX ) and Best Buy Fraud department ( XXXX ). Best Buy Fraud said they will start an investigation, which may take 3-4 weeks to conclude. Citi Identity Theft said they can only protect me from future problems, they can not help me with this incidence. 

XXXX took off the BestBuy/Citi card from my report. XXXX did nothing of the kind. I am still waiting for XXXX to resolve my dispute. 

I don't understand how could someone use my identify to open a credit card at Citi/Best Buy? How could this go on for 11 months without detection? I worry this would drag on forever before things can be cleared. Please help. Thank you!
