There is a XXXX XXXX account that MUST BE REMOVED from my credit profile immediately! My request to block is not being made in error ; nor is my request being made on the basis of misrepresented material facts by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions.

Complaint narrative:
I contacted Freedom Mortgage regarding VA supplemental loan. This loan is located under XXXX XXXX of lenders guide. This loan allows the veteran to keep current interest rate ( same or lower ). Veteran is able to make home improvements needed. Im being told they dont offer this and my only option is complete refinance with cash out. I have a low interest rate doing this will only cost me more at the end of my loan by adding several points on loan due to current interests rates. This is no help for a veteran, whats the point of this great program if lenders are not willing to allow veterans to proceed with these rights. They want to put you in debt instead of helping a XXXX veteran.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several inquiries on my credit report, which I believe violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The FCRA mandates that credit bureaus maintain accurate and up-to-date information and allows consumers to dispute any inaccuracies. 

Upon reviewing my credit report, I noticed multiple inquiries that I did not authorize or recognize. These unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and financial well-being. According to Section 1681b of the FCRA, credit inquiries must have permissible purpose and consumer consent. 

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into these inquiries and provide evidence of permissible purpose and consumer consent for each. If you are unable to provide such evidence, I request that these inquiries be promptly removed from my credit report.

Furthermore, I remind you of your obligation under Section 1681i of the FCRA to conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days of receiving a dispute. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in legal action.

Enclosed with this letter are copies of my credit report highlighting the disputed inquiries, as well as any supporting documentation I have regarding their unauthorized nature.

Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute letter within 30 days and inform me of the steps being taken to address my concerns. I can be reached at the contact information provided above if you require any further clarification or documentation.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have received multiple, harassing calls over several months from Midland Credit Management which come several times per week and often multiple times per day. The calls always come from a different number so as not to disclose who is calling. Most recently, they contacted my wife via her personal mobile number. I am tired of their harassment. The first call I received, the caller identified himself only by name and asked me to verify several pieces of personal information l, which I refused to do. I was then threatened with legal action if I did not comply. They also employ deceptive practices by having one person call, say your name and when you answer in the affirmative you are immediately transferred to another person. I have no personal business with them as they repeatedly claim and I am tired of their threats of legal action and other harassing tactics.
