The late payment in question is associated with the account. 

I did not authorize the use of my personal information for this account, and I have taken steps to report this identity theft to the necessary authorities. Enclosed, you will find a copy of my police report, FTC Identity Theft Report, and any other documentation to support my claim of identity theft. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am requesting the immediate deletion of this fraudulent late payment from my credit report. This late payment has negatively impacted my credit, and I trust that your investigation will confirm that this was not a transaction I made or authorized. According to 15USC CODE 1681 15 U.S. Code 1666 ( b ) 15 U.S. Code 1637 ( a ). 

Please confirm in writing that this item has been removed from my credit report. Should you require any further information, feel free to contact me at the phone number or email provided above. 

Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Wells Fargo Bank regarding the unjust closure of my bank account, which I believe was done under the guise of compliance with the Patriot Act. I have been a long-standing, law-abiding customer for at least XXXX years, even before Wells Fargo acquired XXXX XXXX I was using a XXXX XXXX XXXX my primary mailing address while transitioning between housing arrangements, including a temporary stay in a hotel to save money while I XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was typically only home XXXX night a week. 

A few weeks before my account was closed, I received a letter from Wells Fargo notifying me that my use of a XXXX XXXX XXXX not a valid address, and that my account would be closed in 30 days. Since I had been out of town for work and couldnt access my mailbox immediately, I didnt see the letters until about XXXX weeks after they arrived. When I finally read them, I was shocked and felt blindsided. I promptly withdrew all of my funds and zeroed out my accounts to avoid any potential disruption, and my account was subsequently closed. 

While I understand the importance of complying with legal requirements, such as those outlined in the Patriot Act, I believe this policy is being applied too broadly, unfairly affecting individuals like myself who pose no risk to national security. It was deeply distressing to be treated as though I were a threat, simply because I used a XXXX XXXX while transitioning between living arrangements. This experience disrupted my financial life and created unnecessary stress, especially as I rely on my bank for my livelihood, just as my customers rely on me for theirs. 

I do not expect an apology. I am submitting this complaint to highlight an issue that affects many others. My case is not isolated, and Wells Fargo is not the only bank doing this. After reviewing numerous complaints on the CFPBs website and reading about this in the news, I have discovered that other consumers, including prominent public figures and well-respected professionals, have faced similar actions. In some cases, entire families are being denied access to financial services, which is a troubling escalation. This has prompted me to speak up and to file a complaint as well.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: FL

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 XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.

Unrelenting, merciless, barbaric, brutal, grossly insensivity, lacking in any and all compassion! 

And we are outraged to be assuredly sure!
