Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I have disputed the attached accounts multiple times for inaccuracy and false reporting. The are not any accounts I recognize opening and accounts have so many discrepancies that I question the integrity. I have a right to accuracy and completeness on my report so I have requested that the inaccurate accounts be removed but they are still reporting. The accounts do not even show a notice of dispute so I KNOW there was not investigation completed. The account must be removed since it is impossible to verify the because of all the inaccuracies and discrepancies.
