Complaint:
This is a not a duplicate complaint and I'm not using any third party for this matter. I know my rights very well. The accounts that are being disputed, do not belong to me. The below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues. It is my sworn statement that, I declare under penalty of perjury ( under the laws of the United States, if executed outside of the United States ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement of omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621. The trade lines listed below is item currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened this account and made transactions on this account without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts. 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. Other Credit Bureaus have been cooperative and have removed the account, but Transunion has refused to remove the fraudulent account. Therefore, I have come to you to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block this account while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so.
