Complaint:
In the year of XXXX, I started a job at XXXX XXXX XXXX, after being there for 4 years there was a layoff in XXXX of XXXX, because of workforce reduction for about a week. After going back after a week I had a new SSN number in all credit bureaus, which was my daughter 's SSN in XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion.I reported this to XXXX XXXX XXXX Corporate office in XXXX New York at the time. After years of continue to work for XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX  and trying to fix this disaster someone created for me was too hard for me to continue my employment with XXXX XXXX XXXX, so I left on XX/XX/XXXX, because of mishandling of my SSN and my daughter 's SSN was very hard for me to continue my employment with XXXX XXXX XXXX. With the three credit bureaus creating a hostile environment for me and my livelihood was total chaos. The bottom line is that Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX  does not want to accept the responsibility for what has occurred 19 years ago, which they all should be held accountable for this matter. Yes, my information was part of XXXX  Data Breach in XXXX, so was both of my daughters ' information as well. After 19 years of fighting for my identity and my daughter 's identity, and fraudulent taxes on her and I both, plus someone went to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and changed the last 4 digits of her SSN and my SSN numbers on their website under my score this is where my daughter and I both do our taxes every year. My complaint is about all credit bureaus especially Transunion claiming they had no part in it which Transunion did play a significant part in creating this hostile environment for me. The reason I am also filing this complaint is that all of this has come back to haunt me for their mishap in creating a new identity with my daughter 's SSN. Transunion wants to dismiss themselves but I think they need to own up to their responsibilities for creating this hostile environment for me and my livelihood. The reason for the complaints is that I have been living in fear for 19 years which creating all of this chaos has carried me to different levels of my life to the extent that no one wanted to confront this situation at all no attorney or any other legal representation I have never used my daughter 's SSN, it is just attached somehow to my name where it is creating a lot of problems, for the past 19 years I have problems from job applications to credit and until this day it is still haunting my daughter and I.XXXX  has produced a credit report that can not be erase or that I am deceased and was born in the year of XX/XX/XXXX, which all the information is with the XXXX  Administrator in the data breach that was occurred in XXXX, where both of my daughter 's and I were affected in this matter.
