I recently discovered that my personal information was unlawfully used without my consent, leading to the creation of this fraudulent account. 

I have reason to believe My Identity was STOLEN back in or around XXXX. Multiple accounts including this one were opened with my information that I had no knowledge of.

And ever since XXXX of XXXX, it has been negatively impacting my credit and personal life.

If you are unable to validate the debt within the allotted time frame or find inaccuracies in the reported information, I kindly request that you remove the charge-off from my credit report promptly. I emphasize that I am seeking fair and accurate reporting as mandated by the law. 

On top of information being invalid and fraudulent. I have reported and disputed account multiple times, even called the company the account is through and tried to plea with them to remove it. The account is not mine, and I explained that to the credit companies and bureaus. It is negatively effecting my credit to where I cant even get a credit card, loan, even as much as a auto loan myself. I have no car and cant get one because of this account. 

REMOVE THIS ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY! IT HAS NO REASON TO BE ON MY CREDIT. And is effecting my livelihood very negatively.
