Fifth Third Bank Credit Card Complaint

Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Fifth Third Bank Credit card department,

Unsolicited issuance of credit card Ohio

Fifth Third issued me a credit card account, unbeknownst to me until I saw my credit report today. The credit card account was opened in -/-/- and closed in -/-/-. This has resulted in damaging information on my credit reports. I called Fifth Third today to report this matter, and ask that the derogatory information be removed from my account and the Credit Reporting Agencies, but the response I got from - different departments at Fifth Third was lackadaisical at best. I was told that I must have signed papers acknowledging the acceptance of the credit card account, which if true, was completely unknown to me at the time. At the time, all I had realized I was applying for was a credit score monitoring / improvement " program ''. Ironically, the report made to the - Credit Reporting Agencies for accrued fees and interest for this unbeknownst credit card account is the single most damaging blot on my credit report! NOT a fan of Fifth Third and their business tactics.
