Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
I'm contacting you because I recently discovered a credit inquiry on my report that I had no knowledge of, did not authorize, and did not initiate. This inquiry is fraudulent, plain and simple, and it should have never been made under my name. 

I have never applied for credit or given any form of consent to the company that pulled this inquiry. I only found out about it while reviewing my credit report, and Im furious that someone was able to access my personal credit file without my permission. This is not just a mistake it is unauthorized access to my private financial information, and it is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).
