Consumer Narrative
I RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM XXXX THAT EVEN XXXX IS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE. BUT THEY ARE ABLE TO LOCATE EVERY OTHER ALERT THAT WAS SENT TO ME, EXCEPT THE ONE INQUIRY IN QUESTION. TIME, AND AGAIN I HAVE ASKED FOR AN EXPLANATION, TO NO AVAIL. IT IS GOING ON 3 WEEKS NOW SINCE RECEIVING THE MESSAGE, BUT AN INQUIRY HAS NOT SHOWN UP FOR A NEW INQUIRY. I RECEIVED THE INQUIRY ON THE XXXX. OF XXXX. TODAY IS THE XXXX. OF XXXX. I AM WORKING TOO HARD TO RAISE MY CREDIT SCORE TO SIMPLY WATCH IT PLUMMET FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THEY ARE ALSO REPORTING ANOTHER FALSE INFORMATIONNPERTAINING TO CHIME. A {$240.00} BALANCE HAS BEEN REPORTED. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU, NOT EVEN CHIME HAS SUCH AN INFORMATION. I NEED THIS FOOLISHNESS TO STOP. AND I NEED THIS MATTER RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE LOST XXXX POINTS FROM MY FICO SCORE DUE TO THIS ORDEAL. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A LOT WITH XXXX. THEY ARE NOT THE KINDEST BUNCH AND THEY MAKE IT EXTREMELY HARD TO DISPUTE NEGATIVE ITEMS. AND THE LANGUAGE BARRIER IS OUT OF THIS WORLD., AND I'M A FOREIGNER MYSELF. I NEED THOSE XXXX POINTS BACK. UNDER THE FCRA XXXX HAS VIOLATED MY RIGHTS. STOP DEDUCTING POINTS FOR NO REASON. THERE IS ALSO AN ACCOUNT FROM ALLY THAT IS NOT BEING REPORTED.
