I called Transunion after I purchased a credit report from XXXX on XX/XX/2022. After receiving a copy of my report, I saw these UNVERIFIABLE accounts on my personal profile, I noticed that there were Accounts : BANK XXXX XXXX XXXX, BANK XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX on my credit report which are UNKNOWN to me. This is disappointing because I have been paying XXXX to get a report every month and I have been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report all this time. One of the staff told me to visit https : //www.ftc.gov/ and Report the Fraudulent accounts and have them BLOCKED OR REMOVED from my credit file. Ive attached a copy of the identity theft report ( FTC report # : XXXX ), and guess what I found? Per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B ( a ) the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days with ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

A copy of my Utility Bill, drivers license, and Social Security Number are all included in this complaint. I want you to know that I am telling the truth and by Transunion not blocking these accounts is inadvertently resulting in me being extorted.
