Complaint narrative:
Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Last 4 of SSN : XXXX Hello. I am contacting the CFPB today to detail my recent experience with identity theft. 

XXXX XXXX, who lived with me for 3 years, stole my identity during his stay. He made unauthorized copies of my Social Security card, drivers license, and birth certificate, then used them to open numerous accounts in my name without my permission. I am doing everything I can to resolve the financial mess he created, but his actions have left me with significant debt affecting my credit report. Ive filed a police report, but there is little else I can do as he is currently untraceable. 

After extensive research on the best steps to take, I am filing this CFPB complaint to request that TransUnion, in accordance with FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), block the fraudulent information on my credit report resulting from identity theft. This action must be completed within 4 business days of receiving this complaint, as required by the law. I have once again provided the relevant information about the affected account below : INQUIRIES XXXX XXXX Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Date of Inquiry : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Due to the malicious actions of a former roommate, I am now left dealing with the impact of his fraudulent activities. These inquiries were not made or initiated by me and are the result of identity theft. I have included a copy of the FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # XXXX, along with several FTC Affidavits previously submitted to TransUnion, as evidence from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission confirming that these inquiries are a result of identity theft and fraud.
