Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of identity theft. A personal line of credit account & student loan accounts were fraudulently opened in my name without my knowledge or authorization. These accounts do not belong to me, and I have never applied for or used these accounts. Despite several written disputes and requests for verification, the companies have failed to provide any supporting documentation proving that these accounts are valid or that I am responsible for them. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate or fraudulent information on my credit report. I have repeatedly notified both the credit reporting agencies and the furnisher of this debt that the accounts are fraudulent, but it continues to appear on my credit file. The companies have not provided a copy of any signed application or agreement showing I opened these accounts, verification of the alleged debt, any documentation linking me to these accounts beyond what appears to be computer-verified information. I have also requested removal of these accounts multiple times and cited my status as a victim of identity theft, but the companies continues to report these accounts. These actions are damaging my credit standing and causing me financial harm. I am requesting the CFPB 's assistance in requiring the companies listed below to immediately delete these fraudulent accounts from my credit reports, provide verifiable documentation that proves I am responsible for these accounts, and cease all collection activity related to these accounts in compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the FCRA. I am asking for CFPB enforcement to ensure these fraudulent accounts are investigated properly and permanently removed from my credit history.
