Complaint narrative:

I previously disputed the accuracy and legitimacy of several items on my credit report, yet your agency has failed to act in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). 

Your violations include : Failure to validate the debt as required under 15 USC 1692g ( Section 809 ( b ) ).

Continuing communication after a certified cease-and-desist request, violating 15 USC 1692c ( Section 805 ( c ) ).

Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( Section 806 ).

Recently, I received notice that your investigation was complete, but the disputed accounts remain on my credit report. These accounts are not only inaccurate but were never authorized by me. No valid contract exists, and I have not provided any written consent for the reporting of these accounts, as required under 15 U.S. Code 1681b.

Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX Social Security Number : [ Private ] Date of Birth : [ Private ] Subject : Request for Blocking of Fraudulent Information Under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) Dear [ Credit Reporting Agency ] , I am submitting this formal complaint in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), to request that you block certain information from my consumer credit report. This information is the result of identity theft and must be removed within four ( 4 ) business days of your receipt of this request.

The disputed information includes a personal credit card account that was fraudulently opened in my name, as well as several unauthorized hard inquiries and collections that have subsequently appeared on my consumer FICO credit report.

I do not recognize these accounts, collections, or inquiries, and I did not authorize or initiate any of them.

These entries are fraudulent, inaccurate, and not reflective of any legitimate financial activity on my part. They are entirely the result of identity theft.

To support this request, I have included the following documentation : A list of the fraudulent hard inquiries in question A copy of my consumer FICO credit report showing the disputed accounts, collections, and inquiries A copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report ( Complaint # [ Private ] ) verifying that I am a victim of identity theft and that the above items were fraudulently created Please act promptly in compliance with FCRA 605B and block all fraudulent accounts, collections, and hard inquiries as outlined above from my credit file. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Reporting Agencies play a crucial role in gathering and assessing consumer credit information. However, they must exercise their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. The banking system relies on accurate and fair credit reporting, and when these reporting methods are unfair, it undermines public trust, which is vital for the system 's stability. I never gave my explicit, written consent for these agencies to report my information, which is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ). This violation has led to an alleged case of identity theft, breaching 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. The accounts in question are not related to any transactions made by me.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was created to ensure that laws and procedures are in place to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices by debt collectors. In this case, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692f, which prohibits debt collectors from using unfair or unconscionable means to collect a debt. Specifically, they can not collect any amounts that arent explicitly authorized by the agreement or allowed by law. Additionally, the company has violated 15 U.S. Code 1692e, which prohibits the use of false, deceptive, or misleading representations in debt collection efforts. This includes using deceptive methods to collect a debt or gather consumer information. Moreover, they are forbidden from contacting consumers at inconvenient times or places, or engaging in behavior that harasses or abuses consumers.

In this case, the company has harassed me by claiming I owe a debt that I do not recognize as my responsibility. They have also contacted me at inconvenient times and places, in violation of the law.

Open Issues : Bank Statements ( XXXX ) - XXXX XXXX  closed my accounts without cause ( within their rights to do ) - XXXX XXXX  refused to provide my bank statements for any of my accounts- I can not access them online - They will not send them to me or let me have them They continue to lie, saying they do not have my information on file. 
They DO have my email address ( and home address ) on file, as they have had since the day I opened the account. 

I still don't understand what they mean by 'secure email ', as they also will not answer that question. 
We have exchanged emails in the past, but they continue to refuse to email me my bank statements. 

As the bank has stated I am not welcome at their branches, it is not possible for me to go to any branch, as they taunted me about on the phone. 
I did not make any threats, though I was threatened, insulted, and otherwise severely mistreated by their employees over the phone. 

I don't understand why they're hiding my bank statements from me ; what illegal activies would I uncover if they were to provide me with my bank statements?
