Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, This is a formal complaint against Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax for continuing to report fraudulent identity theft accounts on my credit reports after I submitted a valid FTC Identity Theft Report, government-issued ID, and proof of address. 

These same accounts were already blocked by XXXX following their reinvestigation and acknowledgment of my identity theft claims, yet Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax continue to unlawfully report them in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
