Complaint narrative:
Requesting the removal of the inaccurate reporting on all 3 credit bureaus, the last reported payment was ( XX/XX/23 ), but also has no payment history on the account. It also has a 30 day collection remark in XXXX but a good rating remark in XXXX, the remarks are numerically invalid with no accurate record of payments. Making it difficult to obtain housing to avoid homelessness. This messes up two things, first, this error does not indicate when the account was actually charged off. Second, this error manipulates the status of the account itself. They were never given permission to furnish such, first delinquency and this is causing great stress being reported. XXXX XXXX has violated ( 15 USC 1681s-2b ) of the fair credit reporting act. Since they have verified this account as accurate and there are obvious inaccuracies. They failed the 5 duties of a furnisher when receiving a dispute which are all violations from each credit reporting agency they are reporting too. I am demanding deletion from my consumer report or else. Im going to pursue litigation.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to report a severe identity theft incident stemming from a data security breach involving XXXX XXXX XXXX, impacting me as a subscriber to XXXX XXXX of California since XX/XX/XXXX. This breach has led to a global compromise of personal information, severely jeopardizing my safety. 

The breach exposed sensitive data, including my social security number, account number, banking details, credit and debit card information, date of birth, health insurance, provider name, prescription details, and other personal information. Subsequently, this breach has affected my social media accounts, credit accounts, and billing accounts. Furthermore, I have discovered unauthorized debt collections on my account that I had no prior knowledge of. 

This incident has not only compromised my financial security but has also caused distress and uncertainty about the misuse of my personal information. I am taking immediate steps to mitigate the impact of this identity theft, including working with law enforcement, financial institutions, and credit bureaus. Additionally I've reported this incident with the FTC Identity Theft service and have attached documentation that supports my claim.

Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Credit Karma to inform them of unauthorized activity on my Credit Karma XXXX account. The debit card was canceled and another one was reissued. On XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/2024, I got an email telling me that my account had been locked and was asked to submit identity documents. I knew my tax refund would be deposited to that account so I did as they asked and submitted my identity documents. On XX/XX/year>, my tax refund was deposited into my Credit Karma XXXX account and I realized they had not yet unlocked my account. I contacted Credit Karma to ask why my account was still locked. Two hours later, I received an email telling me they were closing my XXXX account and my funds in the amount of {$15.00}, XXXX would be ACH to my external bank account which I explained to them was closed. They sent my funds anyways and the funds were returned due to that account at XXXX XXXX being closed. I called Credit Karma back and was told they would issue a check for the amount above. The check was supposed to be issued on XX/XX/year>. As of today, I have still not received the funds from my account they closed and I have since then called them four times with no response as to when they will be reissueing the check. I also explained to them the funds were needed urgently for medical treatment. I am told the department handling my case is contacted by email only. There is no phone number to call to check the status. I need to find a way to have my funds issued to me as quickly as possible because I desperately need to start treatment. I need some of my funds to pay my deductible and my copay. I have explained this to them as well and they have not seemed to care nor understand the urgency of my condition.
