In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The List of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. Also I'm victim of true identity theft, and the listed accounts below don't belong to me.

To be clear these accounts don't belong to me, remove them expeditiously.

State: FL
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened without my consent or knowledge

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 I created an online application to open a credit card and use a balance transfer special they had offered. Once applied, I received a response soon after, same day, that I was given the highest interest rate possible, despite XXXX credit scores, money in several accounts at the bank. I requested a review of the interest rate immediately, same day, and was denied. I immediately let the agent know not to open the account and close out everything attached to the account. This is all on XX/XX/2023 I was advised by the rep that they would close the account immediately and to disregard any cards I may receive in the mail.

Shortly thereafter, I received a notice that I have a new account with this bank with a balance of {$5000.00}, the amount of the balance transfer which would have gone through had I opened the account. I spoke with a rep who said the balance transfer was processed the day AFTER the account was closed because I did not also cancel the balance transfer. However, the online site shows the balance transfer account was not opened until XX/XX/2023. Incredible. 

Why would I need to cancel a balance transfer that should not occur if I do not have a card to process it on. This new account balance opening fraudulently has impacted my credit score by a total of XXXX and I am very disappointed in the process of trying to have it resolved with the bank. 

Please help me, I am in Florida.
