XXXX has cancelled my auto policy, so I am shopping for new insurance. My broker went to get a quote and was surprised at the pricing. He pulled the LexisNexus report being used to rate my risk, and an accident from XXXX is showing as at-fault. 

I called XXXX to find out why they submitted an at fault, and they show that they did NOT. I have that in writing from them. The car was parked and vacant ; someone else backed into it, and XXXX is being reimbursed by that person 's carrier.

I have previously seen other people 's info on my Lexis and tried to have it corrected, and they make it impossible to do anything. If they are going to be used as a credit agency, there should be an easy, accessible way for owners to file for corrections. This is the second time incorrect info from Lexis has impacted me ; it was never resolved the first time. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.
