Complaint narrative:
I was the victim of the data breaches which have happened over the last 5 years with XXXX, XXXX, etc. The following listed accounts below were opened without my knowledge, or authority. I was instructed to use the FTC website identitytheft.gov to file identity theft report as the site is classified as a law enforcement agency. Please use this report as a record of the events. I am unaware who used my information nor do I have any information about the data breach or who might have stolen it. The following information is a requirement of FCRA section 605B to assist me in blocking the fraudulent accounts from my report. 



I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. I've talked to the bank & they've agreed to remove the accounts. BUT TransUnion has some internal block which they're claiming they can use to not block the accounts because they feel they're above the law. When questioned why they're not accepting the Identity Theft report they claim they have an internal policy ( which is OUTSIDE FCRA laws ) & they're unwilling to explain why they won't accept the Identity Theft report ( which is a FEDERAL LAW ). So TransUnion feels they're above the letter of the law & will not explain their policy... Furthermore, each letter is signed and attached with an FTC and Identity Theft, yet the TransUnion credit bureau is still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proof needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. I'm still here shelling out money with no end in sight and no results to show. I have had ENOUGH! HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION does it take to get SOMEONE to REALLY DO SOMETHING? Delete this account ASAP.ROCKET SCIENCE! You asked for Documentation and I have given it. AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! THE DISCHARGE PAPER FROM THE COURT IS CLEAR! THEY CAN NOT COLLECT on a DISCHARGED DEBT!! This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensation and damages incurred. Please delete the accounts immediately!
