Complaint narrative:
My husband and I decided to open a separate account to pay for our children 's college tuition. I opened an account on XX/XX/XXXX with Citi online and received my account number and on-line access. I used the mobile deposit feature to deposit a {$500.00} check. I then called customer service to find out how to deposit cash to my account as there were no branches close to my home. It was very difficult to understand the customer service but I gleaned they would send me an ATM card overnight. On XX/XX/XXXX I transferred some money into my new account via ACH in preparations for my tuition payment next week. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an e-mail saying there is a hold on my {$500.00} check. When I logged onto the website to check to see if the ACH cleared, my login credentials no longer worked. I tried again and received a message that the website was down temporarily. I tried to access my account for three consecutive days without avail. 

I received the atm card in the mail, but I was unable to activate it because I didn't have a pin. The next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received a letter with the PIN number and tried to activate the card, but I was told to call customer service. 
I again called Customer service and they told me my account had been blocked and they had to transfer me. After waiting on hold, I was connected to someone on a telephone line with much static and the person hung up on me. When I called back again, the line was still very staticky and I could hardly understand the representative, but I am pretty sure they said they are closing my account and I would get a letter in 7 days. They did not say anything about the money I transferred into the account, or how to access it, and then they hung up on me again. 

So, I can't log into my account to see what is going on, calling customer service has proven futile, and I am not sure how I will pay my child 's tuition next week without access to my money.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.

I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified.

15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report. 15 U.S. Code XXXX  1681c-2 a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any. information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Im reaching out regarding a fraudulent credit inquiry that is currently appearing on my credit report. Let me be absolutely clear : I did not authorize or initiate this inquiry in any way, and I had no knowledge of it until I reviewed my credit report.

This was not done by me, and I have never given consent to the company that pulled my credit. That means this inquiry was made without a permissible purpose, which is a direct violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian regarding accounts that were previously disputed and deleted but have been reinserted without proper certification or notice, in violation of FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). Specifically, the following accounts have been repeatedly reinserted : XXXX XXXX Account ending in XXXX ( appearing twice ) XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account ending in XXXX Since the reinsertion, I have submitted three additional rounds of dispute letters ( Rounds 5, 6, and 7 ) requesting documentation and verification. Each time, Experian responded with Verified and Updated or Updated but failed to provide the actual contracts, applications, or documentation used to verify the accounts.

This conduct violates : FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) : Prohibits reinsertion of deleted accounts without certification and consumer notice.

FCRA 611 & 609 : Requires disclosure of the method of verification and all documents relied upon.

FCRA 607 ( a ) : Requires Experian to follow reasonable procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy.

Experians repeated verified responses without evidence demonstrate a willful pattern of non-compliance and negligence, harming my creditworthiness.
