Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several accounts listed on my credit report that were opened fraudulently and without my permission. These accounts were reported to the credit reporting agencies without my written consent, which I believe violates Section 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

The accounts in question are as follows : XXXX, {$280.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. i was shot robbed then placed in jail while these was open I am requesting that you immediately remove these accounts from my credit report.

You allow Wells Fargo to police themselves that's how they got into the issues. I should be part of the wells Fargo settlement however they can't find my accounts. They did not look hard enough I had them years ago and the information is online which I do not have access to they conveniently only found one account without any fees. Well look more for the accounts I did have account number XXXX with them as well as another account that had my payroll check frozen they conveniently could not find that account either. I don't have any of the informtion they are asking for to " research '' my question. How could they possibly work this settlement if they can't even find my account informtion. All they have to do is find the one account and look for others.

Good evening, To start I had deposited a verified check into my checking account and BOA stated that it would be available Tuesday the XXXX of this month, I also had two fraud claims one for XXXX, and the other one for XXXX that I was being provided with provisional credit available on the XXXX as well.

Im in a low income apartment that I just got approved for last Friday and have to pay rent on the XXXX of this month, I can not afford to miss a payment this will be detrimental To the program that I am in. I was about to purchase a vehicle the same day my money was deposited into my account and had to put that on hold because of me not having access to my money. Its just me that I depend on so me not having access to my money has been hard on me these pass 2 days. I can not afford to feed myself, im barley making it to Work with the little gas I have and I can not even afford to pay my phone bill this month and im at my limit with extensions. I cant call on no one to borrow any money so this has gotten me very depressed that I can not access my money. They have an option for me to withdrawal my funds from a branch but keep giving me the run around and says that most likely I cant do that because of open claims.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against TransUnion for their continued failure to delete a fraudulent account from my consumer report ( credit report ). This account has been reported by TransUnion for over a year, despite my repeated requests to have it removed. The account in question is from XXXX XXXX XXXX, with the account number # XXXX. 

I have already submitted a FTC Identity Theft Report, which clearly documents that this account is fraudulent and should be deleted from my consumer report. However, TransUnion has refused to take any action and has continued to report this account, which has damaged my credit score and made it difficult for me to obtain credit or loans. 

TransUnion 's failure to delete this fraudulent account is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Despite having knowledge of the fraudulent nature of this account, TransUnion has not done any due diligence to investigate the information they have reported, which is a further violation of the FCRA. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take immediate action to hold TransUnion accountable for their actions and ensure that they comply with the FCRA. I am also requesting that TransUnion take immediate steps to remove the fraudulent account from my consumer report and provide me with a corrected copy of my report. 

In addition, I request that TransUnion block any further attempts by the fraudulent party to create or use accounts in my name. This is necessary to protect my identity and prevent any further damage to my credit score. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
