Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX of 2023, I tried to rent an apartment, but my application was rejected, and they told me that I have some issues with my credit report. I registered myself on the website called creditchecktotal.com, and I found out that I have multiple unrecognized accounts and inquiries. Because I didn't apply for anything in last few years, I should not have any inquiries or credit cards. Only credit cards that I have is from XXXX XXXX. But I saw XXXX fraud accounts from XXXX, XXXX XXXX  , and XXXX . I called creditors and credit bureaus about these fraud accounts. Creditors told me they will start investigation on their side, and meanwhile, I need to contact my credit bureaus to dispute these accounts on my side as well which I did. However, since XXXX of 2023, I submitted about XXXX dispute request letter with FTC report, I noticed these fraud accounts come back to my credit report after removal. Every time XXXX request dispute case, I receive letters from creditors and credit bureaus saying that these accounts turn out to be factual or correct account. I called creditors to explain that I have never applied for these accounts and credit bureaus to request proper investigation, results were same : they are all correct information. I attached FTC report, my ID, my social security card, and utility bill to prove myself. I also requested these creditors to send me a copy of application and other documents someone submitted during the application process, but they said no because of privacy issue. If they believe that this is correct account, why don't they send me a copy of documents? I also asked credit bureaus to send me a proof they received from credit companies, but they just told me " I will receive a explanation letter in XXXX business days about my dispute case. '' The letter did not contain any proof except for just regular letter saying my dispute case has been closed and concluded that these are " factual '' accounts. Again, if they have strong proof that these are my accounts, why don't they send me a copy of documents? It's getting almost a year, and I did everything I can to solve my fraud issue by myself. I can't see how to solve this problem anymore. Please help me with protecting and fixing fraud errors in my credit reports. Every time I call credit card companies and credit bureaus, all I receive is just standard and regular letters saying " this is factual account, '' but I see no proof of documents attached. Obviously these credit bureaus are not doing their job correctly. As a credit bureaus, they should do their investigations carefully and make sure send me what creditors sent them, so I can see what information was stolen and I can take next step to remove fraudulent accounts from my credit report.
