Date Received: 2024-01-04

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I was scammed and hacked, by individuals impersonating XXXX XXXX ( I received the caller ID for XXXX ), and my identity was stolen. The result was that a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was open using my identity. I filed a police report, as well as a report with the Federal Trade Commission, the IRS and SSA were also informed of the identity theft. I contacted XXXX XXXX Bank on XX/XX/XXXX, and was asked by them to send a police report and the FTC report so they will not make me liable for the fraudulent XXXX card account, which I did.. I also sent documentation to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. XXXX XXXX 41 days later.is making me liable for the fraudulent account and refuses to provide a letter to remove the hard inquiry in my report. XXXX, XXXX and Equifax are not willing to fix my credit ( eliminate the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and hard inquiry ), after over a month of being alerted to the fraud, and sent all documentation. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, after talking to the credit Bureaus only fraud alert is as far as they are willing to help me with. I have not only been a victim of cyber crime but also of the Institutions I now depend on for help ( XXXX XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ). Can't these people understand that it makes no sense for me to open a XXXX XXXX Credit Card a month ago, Spent zero dollars on it and then go through all the pain and aggravation which represents to deal with this bank and the credit bureaus to try to fix it?????

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX is reporting this information.. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been " validated ', let 's be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer reports are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211 : Application For Award For Original Information Overview with the Internal Revenue Service against ALL entities involved.
