Complaint narrative:
This company has failed me and allowed breach of my personal information. I have explained on several occasions not only have I been a victim of identity theft but they have allowed others to obtain my personal information. I have sent certified letters backdating XX/XX/XXXX from the courts saying that the credit bureaus method of investigation has been retained from an unverifiable source which is illegal. XXXX  actually removed this inaccurate information over two years ago. This company owes me for damages. In addition I have no account tied to any bankruptcy nor have I ever. The address associated with this case is an address also I never resided at. I plan to show the courts this as I have attempted on many occasions to get this public record which has damaged my reputation and cause substantial harm to my success. I also recieved a letter from the clerk of courts stating The XX/XX/XXXX agreement to remove public records as there is inaccurate and incomplete information for a public record.
