Complaint narrative:
I am writing to report that my identity was stolen, and several fraudulent accounts were opened in my name while I was underage, without my knowledge or consent. These actions are clear violations of federal laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which ensures the accuracy of credit reports and protects consumers from fraudulent activities, and the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, which criminalizes the misuse of another persons identity. As a minor at the time, I was legally unable to authorize these accounts, and I am requesting the CFPBs assistance in addressing this matter by ensuring that these fraudulent accounts are removed from my credit history and that the responsible parties are held accountable.
