Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

You must finish your information verification within a reasonable time frame and be able to evaluate and confirm all of the information in my credit report.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request that TransUnion block and remove fraudulent information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud. Pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), I ask that TransUnion block these items within 4 business days of receiving this dispute.

An FTC Identity Theft Affidavit has been filed to report 2 fraudulent accounts on my TransUnion credit report, which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. The fraudulent items consist of the following : XXXX XXXX credit card account : Opened on XX/XX/year>, account number ending in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card account : Opened on XX/XX/year>, account number ending in XXXX Hard Inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX These fraudulent accounts have led to fraudulent late payments reported on my consumer credit report. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, or charge-offs as reported, as these items were not initiated by me. Therefore, I demand that all collection activities related to these fraudulent items cease, in accordance with my rights under the FCRA and FDCPA laws. 

To support this request, I have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Affidavit, ( Criminal Complaint # XXXX ), as evidence that all accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are a direct result of identity theft and fraud. Under FCRA 605B, I request that TransUnion block these fraudulent accounts, collections, and charge-offs from my consumer credit report within 4 business days of receipt. 

Please confirm in writing that these items have been blocked, and send confirmation to me via email at XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
My account was charged {$930.00} on XX/XX/year>. 
The charge was made in XXXX, XXXX. 
I have never been to XXXX, XXXX. 
I notified the credit card company and they stated that I made the charge. 
I re-submitted my dispute via Certified Mail requesting proof of purchase and they emailed me that they had re-opened the investigation. That was 30 days ago and no proof of purchase has been provided or communication received. The charge remains on my account and they are now charging interest thereon. 
The charge identifies a company that XXXX XXXX XXXX shows to be a commercial wholesaler. Clearly not a company making sales to foreign individuals. 
Essentially, my complaint rests on my belief that I should not be liable for unrecognized purchases for which proof of purchase can not be provided.
