Complaint narrative:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either Experian, XXXX XXXX or XXXX   respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to Experian Boost. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I was scammed and I contacted cash app and they didnt do nothing to solve the problem and said, that I was aware and had been in contact with the scammer. I was scammed out of {$420.00}. This happened on XX/XX/XXXX. It took cash app a few weeks to contact me back. They gave me some documents to fill out and send back. I did just that explaining what happened and they basically told me I was lying and I knew the scammer. Which is insane.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I opened up a Macy 's Credit Card. I was making my payments on time. In XX/XX/XXXX I filed for Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy and it was discharged.The credit Card was included in the bankruptcy. For some reason, the Macy 's credit card was still reporting on my credit report just recently and is affecting my credit score because it shows up as an inquiry/derogatory. 

I hired a 3rd party company to try and dispute this. They reached out to Macy 's but all 1st Macy 's did was update it rather than delete it off my credit report. I would like this removed off my credit report so that it does not report on my credit report anymore.

Dealing with this horrible company is getting pretty ridiculous. I just received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that I need a police report in order for them to cease all collection efforts. Instead of them PROPERLY verifying that I owe this debt, they now tell me I have to do something else. Money hungry immoral companies like this should be shut down.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I had a car loan with Gateway One Lending in XXXX of XXXX. Unfortunately, I had to file bankruptcy in XXXX. When I did Gateway One was one of the lenders that were part of the bankruptcy. In XXXX of this year, Santander Consumer Finance reported an account that was part of my bankruptcy because they bought out Gateway One well after my account with Gateway One. Santander not only is filing on my credit that I had an account in BK with them but they are also changing a couple of the numbers to closely match the Gateway Account. Santander also showed the account as a charge-off with a balance which XXXX  has already removed and changed it to part of the BK and XXXX balance. I do not understand how Santander can show an account on my credit when I never had a loan with them. If they can, I ask how can they show the same account/loan filed under two different names, Gateway and Santander? I feel this is a very fraudulent report from Santander and needs to be removed from my credit. When Santander reported it last month my score dropped over 80 points. This made our mortgage company decline us buying our home. We hated to file BK, but we did and have been paying any and all of our loans perfect. How can an outside financial institution just add this to our credit just because they bought out a lender that we dealt with and again I say that we never had a dealing with. Not a contract or anything. Thank you for your help.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020 I received a PIN number for a Credit Card from CitiBank that I did not apply for. I called the number ( XXXX ) on the letter and was jerked around for over an hour trying to get some one to help me. Finally after talking to a half dozen people, was told by a woman said she could find my name in their system but no other information and that i should call the Federal Trade Commission as this seems to be a common problem. I Tried but it was closed. Tried to use the FTC website and it sent me a link for this site.
