    Not a victim but I know a lot about fraud generally, what do you want to know?

    Have you had the fraudulent accounts removed from your credit report?

    If it's identity theft the banks should remove the footprints from your file.

    Have you asked the individual banks to do this?

    Contact the fraud department of the bank the accounts were opened at.
