Complaint narrative:
Im honestly stumped. Regardless of how many times I claim to be the individual writing this letter it seems this message is truly missed. For the record, Im the one whos initiating these disputes under MY NAME. The following items are UNKNOWN to ME. I dont get why youre claiming these are fraudulent or of a high risk nature. The documents Ive provided are legit. These are mine, filed with the appropriate agencies & support my position. Lets get the record straight!!! First of all I know that under FCRA Section 619 Obtaining information under false pretenses that any person who knowingly and wilfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined under title 18 United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both. Most importantly, Ive never sent my documentation to anyone else which seems to be claim constitutes high-risk due to potential fraud. According to FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 3 ) Determination That Dispute Is Frivolous or Irrelevant ( A ) a consumer reporting agency may terminate a reinvestigation of information disputed by a consumer under that paragraph if the agency reasonably determines that the dispute by the consumer is frivolous or irrelevant, including by reason of a failure by a consumer to provide sufficient information to investigate the disputed information.

( B ) Notice of determination. Upon making any determination in accordance with subparagraph ( A ) that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, a consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of such determination not later than 5 business days after making such determination, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency.

Again, under 617 Civil liability for negligent noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681o ] Any person who is negligent in failing to comply with any requirement imposed under this title with respect to any consumer is liable to that consumer in an amount equal to the sum of ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure; and ( 2 ) in the case of any successful action to enforce any liability under this section, the costs of the action together with reasonable attorneys fees as determined by the court. 

Here is the list of items which are UNKNOWN to me 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 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

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX nine unauthorized purchases was made through my AFFIRM account for {$200.00}. each. I contacted AFFIRM within minutes of being alerted of the purchases about the fraudulent activity. The customer service represented took my information and made a claim for investigation. Meanwhile the loans were pending and on XXXX XXXX each loan they were all approved. I was able to cancel the mattress purchases of {$360.00} made through XXXX for a crib mattress. 

And on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a follow up letter with the incorrect loan number stating that I am responsible for the loan. I have tried contacting AFFIRM both through email and call to clarify the loans and to get more information as to where these purchases were made. Till today I have had no success. My calls aren't being answered nor my email mails are being replied. They have also blocked my ability to access my account through their help center. However, the loans continue to be active. I received another notice from them from them about another purchases on XX/XX/XXXX that they rejected because they could not access my XXXX ID. 

IN between I made a police report and I also alerted each credit bureau and froze my accounts.
