Complaint narrative:
In XXXX and XXXX XXXX I discovered that I had become a victim of identity theft. Multiple unauthorized credit inquiries and accounts appeared on my credit reports with Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. I immediately filed identity theft reports with the FTC ( Report Nos. XXXX and XXXX ), listing fraudulent accounts opened in my name including XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and others. I submitted formal written disputes to each credit bureau, along with the FTC reports and supporting documentation, requesting removal of all fraudulent information in accordance with FCRA 605B. 

Despite submitting valid identity theft documentation, some bureaus failed to remove the inquiries and accounts or respond within the required timeframe. As a result, I am filing this complaint with the CFPB to ensure proper enforcement action is taken. I am seeking immediate removal of all fraudulent data, an updated credit report, and confirmation that these items will not be reinserted in the future.
