Complaint narrative:
Last year, I found 3 fraud accounts in my credit report. They were all late and had outstanding balances, but I have never applied for these credit cards. I called these companies few times to inform them what is going on, but one of them said they can not proceed with my claim because they were " unable to verify my identity '', " everything is showing accurate '', and " I need to contact my credit bureaus in this case. '' I did contacted XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, and they told me to submit FTC report which I did. I first submitted FTC report back in XXXXXXXX XXXX 2023, and until now, when I submit FTC report, all the results are coming back with " these are accurate information. '' I even contacted these creditors to request the actual application and whatever documents they received, but I never received any letters from them except for the dispute case result letter saying " this is correct information. '' I even requested credit bureaus and requested to send me whatever they received from creditors proving that these are my accounts. However, since XXXXXXXX XXXX  2023, until now, they never sent me any proof from creditors. My credit score is severely damaged, and the representative told me to pay for it, and they will refund me once the dispute case is finishes. I can't understand why do I have to pay for something that I have never applied for or never used it. I have been asking my credit bureaus to help me, but all they say is " we just do what we receive from creditors. '' Of course, these creditors would want this account to be factual because they need someone to pay the balance. At least credit bureaus should have stand up for me because I am paying them monthly membership fee to protect and help me. Until now, none of them helped me or showed any efforts.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX 2024, I noticed that my credit score had dropped by over XXXX points, and an account on my credit report was listed as having a delinquent payment. I spoke with my credit union, and was notified that the payment had been reported as late, but the XXXX XXXX had made a mistake, because they had never notified me about it. I made the payment with them, and was told that it would be " fixed '', and they would send an update to all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, TransUnion, XXXX ). Twice now my score has rebounded, and the report was briefly removed, but appears to be resurfacing. I have a lengthy email conversation with my credit union where they have very clearly acknowledged that they do no consider my payment late, and that they " reapplied it to XXXX '' so that there would technically be no late payment at all on my record. I do not know what to do at this point, and I feel like I am stuck in limbo between the credit bureaus and XXXX XXXX XXXX.
