Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported incorrect account on my credit report. XXXX XXXX Account was removed but XXXX   unblocked my credit file and allowed XXXX XXXX to place the unauthorized account on my credit report as opened in my legal name. XXXX claims they did a investigation and received signed contract from XXXX XXXX. This is not true and false information on my credit report. I have attached police report from the original accounts opened without my consent. XXXX   refused to file my dispute and advised I contact CFPB. 
According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. 
I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed  below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below. 
I demand the following accounts be verified or removed immediately. 
The law is very clear as to the Civil liability and the remedy available to me ( Section 616 & 617 ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA.

Company: U.S. BANCORP

Complaint narrative:
I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX for 30 years. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX, so I don't need to pay overhead for materials, etc. I am purchasing a home in which to eventually retire, and began the application process with US Bank on XX/XX/2020. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I am now nearing the end of my 60-day purchase contract window. However, US Bank is still saying it can't close because I can't produce a CPA " comfort letter '' stating that it will not be detrimental to my business to purchase this house. My CPA, a very well-respected professional, produced policy statements from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and other professional organizations of CPAs clearly stating that accountants should not provide these letters and that it places them at potential legal liability. It is his unwavering decision to follow this guidance. However, US Bank 's response is, " The bank has a whole drawer full of these letters because a lot of accountants are willing to write them anyway. '' This pits me, the consumer, in between two organizations : the mortgage lending industry and the accounting industry. Both have distinctly opposing policies. This seems unproductive, unfair, and possibly even unlawful. The bank has my profit/loss statements, my tax returns, bank account statements going back many months, and every other document they have asked me to produce. I have demonstrated evidence of more than enough funds to complete the closing. On Friday XX/XX/XXXX the loan officer finally told me that an exception was made ( about requiring the letter ) and said I was clear to close. However, on Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX, I am now told the exception is still pending because the bank is still deciding. My accountant 's advice is, " find a less-upstanding accountant ( his word a bit stronger ) to write you a letter. '' The bank says, no, it has to be the accountant who has handled my tax returns and finances. When I entered into this process I had no idea this was an issue, but it seems wholly unfair. It is too late for me to re-start the process with another lender. One of these industries should establish a policy that is not oppositional, instead of requiring consumers to be penalized by an arbitrary and contentious issue between two behemoths.
