Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than XXXX business days after the date of receipt.

Company: Blackhawk Network Holdings Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because a prepaid e-card ( Case # XXXX ) was issued to me without my knowledge, it came from a class action lawsuit i registered for a few years back and by the time I found out i was supposed to of received this payment via email, it had been emptied by unauthorized transactions totaling {$590.00}. The card issuer denied my dispute, claiming inconsistencies and suggesting household participation. 

At the time of the transactions, my former partner ( my childs father ) was living in my home. He had full access to my phone, XXXX account, email, and other personal information. This individual has been in jail for domestic disturbance and warrants, hes abusive and toxic. He absolutely did not get permission from me, to use this card. 

I work full-time and am not home the majority of the time. My former partner was home almost constantly. This means he could easily have placed orders and received packages without my knowledge. Around the same time as these charges, he came home with new clothes and other items, claiming he had won money at a casino, so I had no reason to suspect he was spending funds from an e-card I didnt even know existed. 

I only learned about this e-card months after it was issued. I had been expecting a paper check instead, not an email card. By the time I found it in my email, the funds had already been drained. I did not authorize any of the transactions listed, including the two XXXX purchases. 

The card issuer closed my dispute without contacting me for clarification or allowing me to provide additional evidence. I am requesting that the CFPB assist in reopening my dispute and ensuring a fair investigation into these unauthorized charges.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am formally disputing the accuracy and validity of the charge-off account reported by your company and listed on my credit file. This account is being reported in a manner that violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and is causing significant harm to my credit standing. 

Upon reviewing my credit reports, I have found inaccuracies and incomplete information regarding this alleged account, including but not limited to : Dates of first delinquency and charge-off are inconsistent. 
The balance, past due amount, and status are not accurately reported. 
The account does not reflect complete and verifiable records of the debt. 

Under FCRA 609 ( a ) and FCRA 611, I am requesting the following : 1. Full validation and documentation proving this account was lawfully established and charged off. 
2. Copies of the original signed contract or agreement bearing my signature.

3. A detailed payment history, including how the balance and charge-off status were calculated.

If you can not provide complete and verifiable documentation within the legally required time frame, I demand that this account be deleted immediately from all credit reporting agencies as required by the FCRA.

Please note that continuing to report unverifiable or inaccurate information is a direct violation of federal law. I am prepared to escalate this matter by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my states Attorney General if necessary. 

I expect your investigation and response within the required 30 days. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I both use Huntington Bank. We have seperate checking accounts. He got two separate deposits from his payroll of {$1000.00}. He XXXX  me {$1000.00} and within ten minutes I XXXX  him {$990.00} back because rent was supposed to come out of his account and not mine so we wanted to make sure the correct amount would be in his account. ON his account it shows that his other {$1000.00} was spent which is accurate but then it shows my {$990.00} was posted to his account from XXXX but yet the money was not there. This seems to be an internal online bank issue. I contacted huntington and they keep saying it needs to be taken up with my husband. My husband does not have the funds. He also tried to dispute it and they said there is nothing they can do. I contacted XXXX and they said they cant help either. Huntington then told me they will repopen the dispute and escalate it and give me provisional credits to pay my rent and they never did and they refuse to dispute the case. I need to have my {$990.00} back to pay rent. I do not want to have to take legal action but I may have to if they do not make this right. We will face eviction because of their error in online banking.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

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.
