Consumer Narrative
Hello, I have recently noticed fraudulent activity on my credit reports. What I have found ( 5/3 BANK NA ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2300.00} ) has led me to believe I may be a victim of identity theft, as I did not approve any info to be used in my name. I am requesting that these fraudulent items be deleted from my credit report at your earliest convenience. I actually have a security freeze on my accounts which should have alerted me prior to my credit being ran. I did not receive any alert to my credit being ran for these accounts which is concerning. These fraudulent items are reporting inaccuracies which is directly impacting my relationships with creditors as I am going through the home buying process. I have reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission, please review the enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commissions Identity Theft Affidavit in regard to this incident. In addition, I have attached a XXXX document reflecting all items that were found to be unauthorized by any such. Please investigate these matters and remove the disputed items as soon as possible.
