Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I received an email from XXXX XXXX stating a credit card application had been declined. I also received emails from several credit monitoring services stating I had a new hard inquiry on my credit report. 

I have not applied for a new credit card. This is fraud. 

I attempted to open the decision letter from XXXX XXXX, but was given an error message stating my input information ( last XXXX ssn, name, zip code ) did not match what was previously provided -- perhaps the fraudster used an old zip code? 

Immediately, I went to my credit reports for XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion. The hard inquiry is listed on all three reports. 

I called XXXX first to dispute the hard inquiry. The representative was very helpful, and she recommended I file a report with ftc.gov as my next step -- that's what I'm doing here.

This is my 6th notice to the bureau and the creditor companies notifying them that these listed accounts are fraud. My information isnt protected and this credit bureau or creditors are not honoring my identity theft claim. My 7th notice of litigation will be a lawsuit suing this credit bureau and all these creditors, these companies and credit bureau did not honor my rights or acknowledge my supporting documents regarding identity theft. All these accounts were open illegally and fraudulently and Ive proven this matter and will prove it in court without a doubt, Im going to sue for my rights being violated, pain and suffering, false allegations from creditors, and assisting to furnish wrong and fraudulent accounts. I demand all accounts and inquiries be removed as soon as possible.
