Complaint narrative:
Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX SSN:XXXX  DOB : XX/XX/XXXX Complaint Summary : I am filing this complaint due to multiple inaccuracies and unauthorized accounts on my credit report caused by identity theft. .These fraudulent accounts consists of a personal credit card account opened at XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX account # XXXX, and XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX account # XXXX and other accounts at XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX account # XXXX, at XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX Account # XXXX, automobile loan opened at XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX account # XXXX, at XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX account # XXXX and XXXX XXXX around XX/XX/XXXX account # XXXX. I have already filed an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and submitted supporting documentation to the credit reporting agencies, but these fraudulent accounts remain on my report. These accounts include collections, charge-offs, and loans that were opened & reported without my consent. 

Despite my formal disputes, these inaccuracies continue to damage my credit. Furthermore, I am opting out of all accounts in dispute, whether any consent was given in written, verbal, unwritten, or nonverbal form. I do not provide consent for any continued reporting or data sharing.

Key Issues : Identity Theft ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) : As required by the FCRA, once I submitted my FTC Identity Theft Report, all fraudulent accounts should have been blocked within four business days. However, these accounts remain active on my report.

Accuracy of Information ( 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ) : The credit reporting agencies Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX  have failed to maintain accurate and verifiable information. These accounts are a result of identity theft, and I have provided sufficient documentation to prove they are not mine. 

Opt-Out Rights ( Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. 6802 & 16 C.F.R. 313.7 ) : I have exercised my right to opt-out of all disputed accounts. This opt-out applies to any consent that may have been obtained in written, verbal, unwritten, or nonverbal form. Despite this opt-out request, the disputed accounts are still being reported, and my personal information continues to be shared without authorization with third party companies, Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX. 

Privacy Act Violations ( 5 U.S.C. 552a ) : My personal data has been mishandled, in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974. There have been unauthorized disclosures of my personal information without the necessary safeguards or my explicit consent. 

Identity Theft Penalties ( 18 U.S.C. 1028A & 15 U.S.C. 1681q ) : The continued reporting of these fraudulent accounts also constitutes violations under identity theft laws. This has caused significant financial harm and distress.
