Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I have recently discovered that my identity has been compromised, leading to these fraudulent accounts being opened without my knowledge or consent. I have taken the necessary steps to report the identity theft to the relevant authorities, and I am providing you with a copy of the FTC identity theft report for your records. I have also mailed a copy to Equifax. I request that you investigate the following accounts and take appropriate action to remove them from my credit report, as they are the result of true identity fraud. I would like to bring to your attention that my information was sold and bought illegally because I was a victim of the Equifax data breach, which has heightened my concerns about the security of my personal information. In light of this, I request that you investigate the following additional accounts and take appropriate action to remove them from my credit report, as they are the result of true identity fraud.
