Consumer Narrative
I am XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this CFPB complaint to formally dispute the inaccurate information that is currently appearing on my credit report. As a consumer protected under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to accurate and up-to-date credit information, and I expect that my rights will be respected. I recently received a copy of my credit report and was shocked to find that there are several accounts that I did not open and have no knowledge of. It has come to my attention that there are several fraudulent inquiries listed on my credit report that are in direct violation of the FCRA. I respectfully request that the following inquiries be immediately removed from my credit report : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I can assure you that I did not open these inquiries or authorize anyone else to do so on my behalf. I believe that this is a case of identity theft and I am taking steps to report this to the authorities. According to FCRA Section 605B ( a ) the CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES shall block any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from the identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.
