Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute several accounts on my credit report that are the result of identity theft. I did not open or authorize these accounts, and I have reason to believe that they were opened fraudulently. I have attached copies of my ID, FTC report, and any other supporting documents that can aid in resolving this issue. The accounts in question are : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. I have contacted the creditors and provided them with the necessary information to investigate the fraudulent activity. I have also filed a police report and have requested a copy for your records. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have concerns regarding the notification I received about the debt and the lack of information provided to verify its validity. When I contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX seeking clarification on the validity of the debt, I did not receive any information or documentation supporting the existence of this debt. I believe that as a responsible customer, I am entitled to receive sufficient information to verify any debt reported in my name. Upon reviewing my credit report, I noted that the mentioned account is inaccurately portrayed as a late payment account with a balance due. This misinformation adversely affects my credit score and raises questions about the accuracy of the reported information. Please find the details of the account in question below : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/2019 Balance : {$170000.00}. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). I am the primary complainant in this matter, and I hereby grant full authority to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to thoroughly investigate and address this claim.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) is all about making sure credit reporting is fair and accurate. When there are violations under the FCRA, it messes up the banking system, which relies on accurate credit reports. Unfair credit reporting can also shake people 's trust in the system. So, if any of my accounts get reported without my permission, that's basically identity theft, and it's a breach of my privacy since I should have control over what's listed. Luckily, there are laws like 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 that protect me. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for accounts listed without my expressed written consent. These accounts are not related to any transactions made by me, the consumer.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have requested several times for specific proof to show this account wasn't fraudulent opened by providing proof of signature used to open account and transaction history. Creditor has failed to provide proof and instead went ahead and said account was verified by provide SS, address and nothing that I asked for. Fraudulent accounts can be opened with that exact information but a signature and transaction history can pin point if this was opened by me. I have let them know this account does not belong to me and for such a small fee I would have just paid it off to avoid derogatory history on my record.
