Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Complaint narrative:
I have used Experian as my credit monitoring service for several years and in XX/XX/2022 I notice that Experian, XXXX, and XXXX had stop reporting my credit score through the Experian Credit application even when I was paying the premium charge to Experian every month. So, since they couldn't seem to fix the problem I down grade to the free Experian app where I was not paying {$24.00} a month anymore. I decided to try and get all three of my scores again because I am getting ready to purchase another home. I opened the Experian app on XXXX and paid the {$24.00} out of my bank account and still I can't get my credit scores from XXXX or XXXX. I reached out to XXXX and XXXX and they tried to get me to open a monitoring service with them but I don't want to pay separate services. Then today I get a letter from Experian Escalation service stating that they believe that my information does not add up to what XXXX or XXXX may have. I have on several occasion reported that XXXX put the correct address and XXXX as well. I don't need to pay for a credit monitoring system and the credit reporting agencies are playing with my livelihood.

I have been trying to resolve an issue with my checking account, for unauthorized cash withdrawals that resulted in {$520.00} being withdrawn & debited from my account on XX/XX/2022. I have called & written my bank several times, with no resolution except a standard response " We've conducted our investigation using the information that you provided about the dispute. With the information we had, it was'nt enough to support your claim and resolve the dispute in your favor. Please contact the merchant directly if you wish to pursue this matter further '' This is a bogus & ridiculous response, because there is no merchant involved except my bank that processed the unauthorized cash withdrawals, & charged the extra fees for the withdrawals. I have called and written for over six months now attempting to resolve this very stressful matter.
