It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any items which are found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files.

I moved into XXXX XXXX apartments in XXXX, South Carolina on XX/XX/XXXX as a subletter with a subletting lease facilitated by XXXX XXXX. At the time XXXX XXXX was managed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I filled out a form provided by XXXX upon move-in detailing all existing damage to the unit, mostly paint chipping, and took photos of the existing damage ( attached ). I moved out on XX/XX/XXXX at the end of my lease with a smooth checkout process facilitated by management, no damages incurred during my stay, and all debts ( rent ) paid. I was contacted by a debt collector in fall XXXX regarding {$270.00} owed to XXXX XXXX for the unit damages that were already there and reported upon move in. I was never contacted by XXXX or XXXX directly regarding these charges. I asked the debt collector to dispute the charge, but was not able to get in contact with them again after the initial call. I tried calling XXXX XXXX to dispute the charge, but they are under new management and have no records of me or the woman who I subletted from, nor any records of debts owed by me. I tried getting into contact multiple times via phone and email with XXXX but was not able to reach them. The debt owed has now hit my credit report, with a significant impact lowering my score from XXXX to XXXX, and I am told this will remain on my report for 7 years. I tried disputing this with XXXX XXXX, however they verified the charge with little explanation of their research into the dispute and have kept it on my credit report. I am hoping to have this incorrect charge revoked and removed from my credit report. As I am looking to buy a home in the near future, this impact of a wrongful charge will severely impact my ability to secure a mortgage and have a very large negative impact on my life for a debt that I do not owe. I greatly appreciate your help in reversing this and helping me to clear up this misdirected charge.

On XX/XX/22 a Bank XXXX XXXX was reported as an inquiry to my credit report. So, I filed a police report to report this inquiry to Transunion and XXXX. XXXX removed this inquiry but Transunion refuse to remove it. I contacted Transunion around XXXX to see why they are not removing the inquiry. They said in order to remove the inquiry XXXX must filed an FTC report in order to remove the inquiry. My FTC number is XXXX. As XXXX went by, I contact a Customer Service on XX/XX/22 about the Bank XXXX XXXX inquiry. They told me they haven't received it even though which was confusing but the ladie will filed a investigation on what happen to the letter, so they are telling me they are waiting on my FTC report. So, I sent another FTC form that same day and I have a receipt to prove that I sent it and the XXXX XXXX say they should receive it on XXXX/XXXX/22. I contacted Transunion today XX/XX/22 about any updates and they told me they received the FTC form on XXXX/XXXX/22 and they say it was declined because it didn't have a date on it. Now the last time I call the rep say they didn't have it and now they had it since XX/XX/XXXX and was declined because of no date which is false because it is a date on the form. So, I'm becoming impatience and ask to speak to the supervisor and she is saying now I need to get a letter or Form from Bank XXXX XXXX that I have to send to Transunion now to move forward. I knew something was up and the XXXX will not remove my inquiry. I contact them again and I told the rep you are telling me you can not removes this inquiry but according to Fair Credit Reporting Act, legally these unverified and unauthorized items must be removed. The Customer Service do not want to answer and kept saying the supervisor said we can't remove this inquiry. So when I told him can you please answer my question yes or no, he hangs up the phone. The Transunion customer service reps did not want to help solve my issue just to only give me the run around by adding more things in order to remove my inquiry. I want to file a complaint.

I am formally addressing a serious issue regarding identity theft that has directly affected me. Recently, I discovered that several bank accounts have been opened in my name without my authorization. This situation has caused significant distress and has raised serious concerns about my personal information being misused. 
I want to emphasize that I have never consented to the opening of these accounts, and I am deeply concerned about the impact this fraudulent activity has on my financial well-being and personal reputation. It is imperative that these accounts be thoroughly removed from my name to prevent any further complications or damage.
