Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/XXXX I learned that a bank account was opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) using my personal information. I did not authorize this account to be opened and came to learn ofsame after being denied a savings account. Upon receipt of myChexsystems report in XX/XX/XXXX, I immediately disputed same on the basis of fraudulent and requested the negative reporting information be removed from Chexsystems. I continued to make attempts to contact the XXXX XXXX XXXX in an effort to have the information removed but was unsuccessful. I continued to advise the bank that i did not open this account.After filing a fraud identity report with the FTC, I forwarded acopy of same to the bank evidencing fraudulent activity, again requesting the false information be removed. I have had toplace security freezes and fraud alerts on my credit report. In the alternative, I also requested, should the bank maintain thatthis account was valid, albeit false, that they provide theappropriate documents to verify this. To date, I still have notreceived any information from the bank verifying the accuracy of this account and I continue to maintain that this was a fraudulently acquired account opened by someone who usedmy personal information without my consent. On XX/XX/XXXX, after being denied for another bank account, I received aChexSystems report indicating that this institution continuedto report negative information. I again disputed the informationon the basis of fraud I requested any documentation that the bank believed would verify the accuracy of the of the account.As of this date I have not received one document. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a third Chexsystems report after continuing tobe denied for a bank account, except this time denied at a local credit union. This institution continues to report account abuse despite the fact that it is false and is a clear violation ofthe FRCA which requires them to accurately reportinformation, and correct and remove any inaccurate information. The FRCA also requires this institution to verify, with proper documentation, within 30 days. Thereafter should this institution be fail to do same, the inaccurate and negative information must be removed. It is now almost 2 years sincethe date that this was first reported and this institution has notprovided one single document to prove or verify the accuracy of this account. The negative reporting information hasinhibited me from getting a bank account and I am facingsevere financial hardship that is affecting my ability to afford my rent. I did not perform any fraudulent activityrather this institution allowed another individual to open an account withmy information and now is holding me accountable for others wrongdoing. I dont know what else to do to get this false and inaccurate information removed from my report. I have beendisputing this for almost two years. I am desperately seekingyour help as I have exhausted all of my options.
