Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction and file a complaint regarding the recent attempt to remove fraudulent items from my account. I believe that the process undertaken to rectify the situation has been unsatisfactory and warrants further attention. I discovered unauthorized and fraudulent transactions on my account issued by your institution. Immediately, I contacted your customer service department to report the fraudulent activities and requested assistance in removing these unauthorized charges. While I appreciate the initial responsiveness of your customer service representatives, the subsequent actions taken to address the issue have been inadequate. I expected a swift and effective resolution, but the process has been marred. Additionally, I am concerned about the lack of transparency in the communication throughout this ordeal. Timely updates and clear information regarding the steps being taken to rectify the situation would have greatly alleviated my anxiety. Unfortunately, the information provided has been insufficient, leaving me in the dark about the progress of the investigation. I am requesting a thorough review of the handling of my case and a comprehensive explanation of the steps taken to address the fraudulent transactions. Furthermore, I insist on a detailed plan outlining how your institution intends to prevent such incidents in the future. As a customer, I expect and deserve a higher standard of service, especially when dealing with issues as critical as fraudulent activities on my account. I trust that you will treat this matter with the urgency it deserves and take the necessary steps to rectify the situation promptly. If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter to the relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Information and Unlawful Actions by XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX regarding their persistent reporting of inaccurate information on my credit report and illegal activity with my XXXX XXXX account XXXX XXXX Despite having previously disputed these inaccuracies with XXXX XXXX directly, as acknowledged in their email dated XX/XX/XXXX, the errors persist, and the bank has engaged in additional unlawful activities. On reviewing my account statements for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that XXXXXXXX XXXX has erased these statements from my account, a clear violation of my rights and illegal under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This obstructs my ability to monitor my financial transactions and is unacceptable. Moreover, XXXX XXXX is reporting a XXXX missed payment in XXXX and a XXXX missed payment in XXXX, both of which are inaccuracies. I have evidence of a payment of {$2100.00} made in XXXX and {$370.00} made in XXXX. It is clear that XXXX XXXX has failed to update their records accurately and is misrepresenting my payment history. Furthermore, XXXX XXXX erroneously charged off my account in XX/XX/XXXX, even though payments were being made. According to the law, a charge-off can only occur after XXXX days of non-payment. XXXX XXXX XXXX premature charge-off is not only a violation of my rights but also indicative of their disregard for legal and ethical standards. In light of these egregious actions, I am including evidence of these illegal transactions and demand compensation of {$1000.00} for each illegal transaction committed. I also insist that XXXX XXXX rectify the inaccurate reporting on my credit report, updating the account to " paid as agreed in full with no late payments. '' If XXXX XXXX is unable to correct this information, I request the immediate removal of the account from my credit report. I trust that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against XXXX XXXX for their violations. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and look forward to a resolution that upholds consumer rights. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding the numerous unsuccessful attempts to remove fraudulent items from my account. Despite multiple reports and requests for assistance, the resolution process has been frustratingly ineffective, and the fraudulent charges persist. I discovered unauthorized and fraudulent transactions on my [ credit card/bank statement/account ], and I promptly contacted your institution to report the fraudulent activities. Since then, I have made several attempts to rectify this situation, including reaching out to your customer service department, submitting detailed reports, and following the prescribed procedures for disputing unauthorized charges. Regrettably, my experiences thus far have been marked by a series of setbacks and a lack of progress in removing the fraudulent items. I would like to bring the following issues to your attention : Despite my detailed reports and supporting evidence, it appears that the investigation into these fraudulent transactions has not been conducted with the thoroughness and urgency required. There has been a lack of clear and consistent communication throughout this process. Timely updates on the status of the investigation and the actions being taken would have provided some reassurance during this stressful situation. To my dismay, the fraudulent items persist on my account, leading me to question the effectiveness of the measures taken to address the issue. I understand that addressing fraud cases is a complex matter, but as a concerned customer, I expect a higher level of diligence and commitment to resolving such issues promptly. I am formally requesting an immediate and thorough review of the handling of my case. I insist on a comprehensive explanation of the steps taken to investigate and remove the fraudulent items from my account. Additionally, I seek clear assurances and a detailed plan outlining how your institution intends to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future. If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, I may have no choice but to escalate this matter to the relevant regulatory authorities and consumer protection agencies. I am asking for your assistance to remove these fraudulent items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$740.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX, XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$5200.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Balance : {$4900.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$45.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$740.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2700.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$520.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$4900.00} XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023 XXXX XX/XX/2023.
