Company: LEXISNEXIS

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a request for   XXXX   to block fraudulent information on my credit report. I submitted a police report that I filed in person, an identity theft affidavit that I filed with the Federal Trade Commission, my driver 's license, social security card, and a copy of a recent bill with my request. When I reviewed my credit report I did find that  XXXX  had blocked the majority of the information from my credit report that I had sent them via certified mail with the exception of (  XXXX  ) accounts, but these accounts were also listed i my list of fraudulent items to be blocked from my credit file. I do n't understand why   XXXX   chose to pick and choose the accounts that they would block from my credit file when I plainly told them all of the ones that were as a result of identity theft. The accounts that   XXXX   refused to block were as follows :   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    Account Number  XXXX  this is a fraudulent account and should have been blocked with the rest of the items that I identified to  XXXX  were fraud.
  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   Case  XXXX    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   Case   XXXX   Both of these bankruptcies should have been blocked too because they were both fraudulent/not mine and I plainly explained that to   XXXX   by phone and by certified mail. They claim this fraudulent information was provided to them by LexisNexis, but regardless they are continuing to report information that they have been made aware was as a result of identity theft which makes them just as liable as Lexis Nexis.
LexisNexis was also sent a certified letter making them aware that they were reporting a bankruptcy under my name and social security number that did not belong to me. Lexis Nexis never did respond to my certified letter and continue to report the same fraudulent information. I have tried to resolve this with both companies in professional manner but they both feel that they do n't have to honor my request. It seems they do n't know what the phrase " I was a victim of identity theft means ''. These companies want to tell you that they verified your name and social security number and address, birthdate and so on and so forth, but if they were very well versed in what Identity Theft is they would know that means that someone has used all of my correct personal information to open fraudulent accounts to include credit accounts, bank accounts, bankrupticies and all of that. They simply do not care they would rather punish me by continuing to broadcast this fraudulent information which is also defamation of character when i have told them that it is inaccurate and fraudulent and then they continue to do so. They are willfully and maliciously continuing to report information that both companies know to be false/fraudulent.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
