It is evident that the credit bureaus have no permissible purpose to report these fraudulent items without my explicit consent. Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Complaint narrative:
I have provided all four pieces of information and expect these listed accounts to be deleted and blocked within four business days of your receipt of this notice ; otherwise, you are in violation of my rights under the FCRA once again! If you do not initiate an investigation regarding my dispute and delete this information within 4 business days of receiving this notice per 15 USC 1681c-2, as is my right under the FCRA, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Each violation of the FCRA allows for damages of {$1000.00} should this matter be brought to court. 15 U.S. Code 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) essentially states that if a person willfully violates any requirement of the FCRA with respect to a consumer, they are liable to that consumer for any actual damages suffered as a result. If actual damages can not be determined, the consumer can still receive statutory damages ranging from {$100.00} to {$1000.00}. This provision ensures that consumers are protected and have recourse if their rights under the FCRA are willfully violated.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry, disclose all communication exchanged, share internal records, confirm identity verification measures, and demonstrate compliance with relevant laws.

I am filing this complaint with the CFPB to request that TransUnion, the credit reporting agency, block certain information on my credit report due to identity theft and fraud, as per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ). 

Specifically, I want the following fraudulent accounts removed from my report XXXX 1XXXX A XXXX XXXX XXXX account opened at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, under account number [ acct # ], {$8600.00}. 
2. A XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXccount opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, under account number [ acct # ], {$8200.00}.

5. A personal credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, under account number [ acct # ], {$5200.00}. 

These fraudulent accounts have led to multiple hard inquiries and collections showing up on my consumer XXXX credit report. Ive attached a list of these hard inquiries and a copy of my consumer credit report from TransUnion that includes these fraudulent items.

To support my case, Ive included a copy of the FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # [ report # ] that confirms all these accounts and collections are due to identity theft and fraud.

In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Company: FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I bank with First Citizens Bank in XXXX, XXXX. The bank employee called me to solicit me to enroll in a fee-based fraud protection program. I expressed that I had never been a victim of fraud, but she impressed upon me that I could be a victim at any minute. Following her advice, I signed up for the service. After 4 weeks, I decided that I no longer wanted the service and wanted to cancel. The bank refused to cancel the service unless I signed a document stating that I would hold the bank harmless and indemnify ( pay them their costs and legal fees ) any of their losses/ damages for any reason ( including if the bank employees embezzled funds, or if they were fined by a regulatory agency related to my account ). The document also required me to affirm that I had already been a victim of fraud, which was a false statement. I told them I would not agree to these terms, and they are refusing to cancel this fee-based service. I stopped by the bank this afternoon and, after waiting almost an hour, was told that they will not alter the document.

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.
