Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/2024 i received a letter in the mail from Innovis saying it had obtained without my written permission my private non public information including my government issued social security card. when i was made aware of this i immediately called and i spoke with a supervisor named XXXX, i demanded that my non public private information be removed immediately and deleted from the Innovis data base. XXXX told me NO she will not remove my social security number or opt me out from Innovis database she said no multiple times, XXXX said she received my information from a creditor, yet refused to send provide me documentation or identify the supposed creditor. I told her i did not give Innovis permission or written instruction to use my social security number and i instructed her to removed all my non public information from the data base she continued to refused. This is identity theft and fraud. Innovis is knowingly violating my rights and committing identity Theft and fraud under Federal law according to 18 U.S.C. 1028.
