I hope this communication finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration with the unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my account with Credit Bureuas. Despite multiple efforts to address this issue, the resolution process has proven to be challenging and unproductive. 

I discovered unauthorized and fraudulent transactions on my account, which has caused significant distress and inconvenience. Since then, I have been diligently working to rectify this matter by contacting your customer service department. Regrettably, each attempt to resolve the issue has been met with limited success. 

I understand that fraud-related matters require thorough investigation, and I appreciate your commitment to addressing such concerns. However, the lack of progress and effective communication has left me feeling dissatisfied and vulnerable. 

I kindly request the following actions to be taken promptly : A comprehensive and expedited investigation into the fraudulent items on my account. 
Clear and transparent communication about the steps being taken to address and rectify the fraudulent transactions. 
Timely removal of the fraudulent items and restoration of my account to its rightful state. 
I expect a resolution to this matter withinthe exact timeframe from the date of receipt of this letter. It is crucial that the necessary measures are taken to ensure the security of my account and to prevent any further unauthorized transactions. 

If the issue persists without a satisfactory resolution, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter further, including involving relevant regulatory authorities and seeking legal counsel. 

I trust that your organization takes matters of fraud seriously, and I appreciate your immediate attention to this pressing concern. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have attempted to get this matter corrected and resolved for several months, but all of my attempts have been unsuccessful. No one at PenFed has taken the time to address my concerns regarding my credit report. PenFed has continued to report discrepant payment history for different months on my credit reports. The discrepancy happens to be only 1 late payment. I've attached my credit report as proof of the discrepant reporting that has not been corrected. 

In the spirit of compromise, and in exchange for several months of inaccurate reporting and credit denials, I would be willing to accept the month for this 1 late payment to be reported as No Data or Unknown. 

This PenFed account is being reported as 30 days late for XX/XX/2023 on XXXX and XXXX, and late 30 days for XX/XX/2023 on XXXX. The single late payment is being reported on two different months with different bureaus. There is no consistency with how this late payment is being reported to my credit files. I have attached a copy of my credit report to prove this discrepant reporting.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the persistent issues I have encountered regarding the late opening of my account and a charge off account with Credit Bureaus. Despite multiple attempts to rectify the situation, I have been met with ongoing challenges, and I am deeply dissatisfied with the level of service I have received. 

I initiated the process of opening an account with your company, and it has come to my attention that the account opening was significantly delayed. This delay has caused inconvenience and frustration, as I rely on timely access to the services provided by your company. 

I have made several attempts to address this matter by contacting your customer service department, but unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved. The lack of responsiveness and failure to provide a satisfactory resolution have only added to my dissatisfaction. 

I understand that errors can occur, and I am willing to cooperate in resolving this matter promptly. However, the repeated unsuccessful attempts to rectify the situation have led me to escalate this matter formally. 

I kindly request the following actions be taken to address this issue : A thorough investigation into the reasons behind the delay in opening my account and the several appearance of charge off account. 
A clear and concise explanation of the steps being taken to rectify the situation. 
Timely and effective communication throughout the resolution process. 
I expect a resolution to this matter within the specified timeframe from the date of receipt of this letter. If the issue persists without a satisfactory resolution, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter further, including filing a complaint with relevant regulatory authorities. 

I believe in your commitment to providing excellent service, and I trust that you will take this matter seriously. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to a swift resolution. I am asking for your assistance to correct these late open account and remove the charge off account in my credit file : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$5100.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/2020 - You are reporting different information from other bureaus. Per FCRA, reporting must be 100 % accurate or the information must be updated. 

XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER.

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of great concern regarding my account with the items in questioned. I believe my situation deserves immediate attention and resolution. 

I have encountered persistent issues regarding the removal of a late close on my account, which is included in a bankruptcy. Despite numerous attempts to rectify this matter through various channels, the issue remains unresolved, causing me significant distress and inconvenience. 

I filed for bankruptcy, and my account with XXXX XXXX was included in the bankruptcy proceedings. As a result, I expected that the late close on my account would be appropriately addressed in accordance with the legal processes outlined during bankruptcy. 

However, despite my best efforts, such as contacting customer service, submitting documentation, etc. ], the late close remains on my account, adversely affecting my financial standing and creditworthiness. 

I understand that mistakes can occur, but the persistence of this issue has prompted me to bring it to your attention formally. I kindly request that you investigate and resolve this matter promptly. I believe in fair and just practices, and I trust that Credit Bureaus will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation in a timely and efficient manner. 

If there are any specific documents or information required from my end to facilitate the resolution process, please let me know at your earliest convenience. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution. I am asking for your assistance to remove these items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance : {$1100.00} - Please investigate the account name, date of last activity, and account balance. This information seems to be misleading. This will need to be removed pronto. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$85.00} - I need the following investigated account name, date of last activity, and opening date. I believe this information may be wrong. I need this removed immediately. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - This bankruptcy file date is wrong and this bankruptcy is out of statute for reporting on a credit report. And it should no longer be reported because it is past the 10 years statute of limitations that a credit bureau can report. Please update the filing date and then remove it. 

XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX Liability : {$0.00} - I did not file a XXXX  XXXX bankruptcy with the courts. When I spoke with the court clerk that did not have records. Please provide the contact information of the 3rd party data furnisher that provided you as the credit reporting agency with this misinformation so I may contact them directly.
