Complaint narrative:
Experian and Transunion continue to report inaccurate and incomplete information on my credit report. The account listed as XXXX XXXX  Account # : XXXX is incomplete it does not have complete information to fully authenticate that the information is mine. This is also a result of identity theft and by law this information can not be reported. I also provided an identity theft report and neither credit bureau took reasonable action to investigate this matter.
