Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX a fraudulent account named XXXX was opened and reported on my credit file by EXPERIAN, XXXX XXXX XXXX. These businesses are in violation of the FCRA and my rights are not being upheld. My rights are being violated by the reporting of these false inaccurate accounts on my credit report. I have NO KNOWLEDGE of these accounts, no prior knowledge on how they were opened. EXPERIAN must remove these accounts from my credit report immediately.
