Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: Hello, I have recently noticed fraudulent activity on my credit reports. What I have found, has led me to believe I may be a victim of identity theft, as I did not approve any information 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 notification or 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 Commission 's Identity Theft Affidavit in regards to this incident. PLEASE REMOVE THE FOLLOWING INQUIRIES THAT I HAVE FOUND ASAP. Inquiries 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
