Complaint:
I'm NOT USING NOR HIRING ANY THIRD PARTY FOR THIS MATTER ; I REPRESENT MYSELF BY MYSELF. I KNOW MY RIGHTS AND I KNOW THE LAW> I'm very educated person with two XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please note, this is not a duplicate complaint, I'm sending this complaint due to new Evidence. I have obtained my report from all 3 Credit Bureaus and started to compare all in regarding to incorrect information. So after careful review I have noticed that Transunion reporting account that has been deleted by XXXX and XXXX as nonverified and fraud account. I made a phone call to Transunion ; I spoke with them numerous times and they refused to do fair investigation. 
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The List of account bellow has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681. Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy. 15 US.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 15 U.S.C. 1681 c. ( a ) ( 5 ) Section States : no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crime which antedates the record by more than seven years. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person known or reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to this creditor and have made them aware that this account was fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove this account from my credit report. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block this account while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so.

Therefore, my position is being clearly stated, this account do not belong to me, meaning that you are reporting inaccurate account information within my credit file. The fact that this is inaccurate account information means that you, this credit-reporting agency, are reporting incorrect account.

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency, and that they would not file the report because I didnt have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person.
