Consumer Narrative
Hey hope all is well. I was looking through my credit report and noticed some negative accounts that were never AUTHORIZED/OPENED. I never gave these companies my personal information OR the authority to obtain my personal information on their own, they are in violation of FCRA 15 U.S.C Section 1681. How did they get this information? I have tried contacting the credit bureaus and no one was able to help me. I was just being past around to department. Please investigate these bureaus and have them delete these fraud accounts off my report. Attached is my ID and my Report I filed for identity theft because these accounts does not belong to me. Have them remove these thank you.
