Complaint narrative:
This has been a process over XXXX years which has devastated my entire life because of someone taking advantage of me being unaware of such criminal activities with my SSN.On or about XXXX of XXXX I gave my correct SSN to this financial institution, which in the year of XXXX this institution decide to change my information without my consent. There is a receipt stating XXXX, p for XX/XX/XXXX, which I had already joined this credit union in XXXX of XXXX occurred is that this new account was open in XXXX of XXXX and closed in XXXX of XXXX not knowing the XXXX number was changed within the account which I did not authorize for anyone to change any information about me with any financial institution whatsoever, my original account was from XXXX of XXXX was never closed, while the other account was open in XXXX of XXXX and closed in XXXX of XXXX, which this lead to the account I open in XXXX of XXXX. Businesses and their employees abuse their power by implementing things to consumer accounts without the consent of the consumer. I have never given anyone permission to change anything about me in any accounts I have with any financial institution whatsoever. How this got started is that I received a call on XXXX XXXX about a federal background check was being inquired because I was doing so work for the Department of Education, which I am not. I blame the credit union and its employee 's for changing information without my consent and forging my name to any documents that I have given them to change this information. No I did not know this had occurred until I had the federal background check done on XXXX XXXX after speaking with XXXX XXXX after XXXX, years of suffering with this matter has me totally devastated. This all occurred on XXXX XXXX when I worked for this organization which had my hiring dates wrong for both companies in the year of XXXX when I began work with that company and the year of XXXX, when I began work with that company, which it affects every employer I have tried to get a job with. After fighting for XXXX years with this matter has me totally incapable of thinking how can someone take your life and turn it XXXX down because of their employee 's incompetence to follow the guide lines of the organization they work for and putting the consumer in a criminal situation where it affects his whole life and especially when all this occurred their where children involved. At this point I do not care about who is involved you all need to be reprimanded for such a disaster that the company or employee 's created for such a time as this. When this occurred I was only XXXX XXXX XXXX and 24 years later has left me with such scars that will never be eliminated from a mental capacity. Also where Equifax played a major part in this matter as well for creating a credit report that I was born XXXX XXXX which has cause me tremendous problems over the course of XXXX  years, that report was created on XXXX XXXX. On this day of XXXX XXXX
