Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint regarding XXXX accounts fraudulently reported on my credit file by Pentagon Federal Credit Union and XXXX XXXX XXXX. These accounts were not authorized by me and are the result of identity theft. I have submitted a formal FTC Identity Theft Report regarding both tradelines. Despite prior attempts to resolve these issues, the companies have either failed to respond or continued reporting inaccurate and unverified data. 

XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a collection account in association with XXXX  for an alleged balance of {$460.00}. I have never opened an account with XXXX  and do not recognize this debt. I am unsure whether this account is for a landline or mobile service, so I selected both when filing my FTC Identity Theft Report. 

A first notice of dispute was mailed to XXXX XXXX XXXX over a month ago. They have failed to respond or provide any verification of the debt.

XXXX. Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( XXXX ) Pentagon Federal Credit Union is reporting a charged-off credit card account that I never opened. I previously disputed this account, but it remains on my credit file. XXXX has never provided any documentation to validate that this account belongs to me. 

XXXX is reporting the account as charged-off and purchased by another lender but continues to furnish updates, despite no longer owning the debt. 

No IRS Form XXXX was issued as required for canceled debt over {$600.00}.

FCRA XXXX : Continuing to furnish information after receiving notice of identity theft.
