Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports

I discovered my identity was stolen after receiving a debt collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card loan I never opened. Upon further investigation I found several unauthorized accounts have been opened in my name which are listed below. They confirmed the accounts are fraudulently opened using my personal information ( Social Security number, date of birth, and addresses ). These unauthorized accounts are damaging my credit report. Unable to file a local police report, I'm filing a report with the FTC today, XX/XX/XXXX, via their website. I've also contacted the major credit bureaus ( XXXX, Equifax XXXX XXXX ) to dispute and remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit file. 





I am writing to formally dispute inaccuracies on my credit report related to identity theft. I submitted my initial dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, along with a Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report and additional documentation supporting my claim. However, your agency has failed to meet its obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Violations of the FCRA 1.Failure to Conduct a Reasonable Investigation ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ) Under the FCRA, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute. Despite providing a comprehensive FTC Identity Theft Report and detailed supporting evidence, I have not received confirmation of any substantive investigation into the disputed items. 
2.Failure to Notify Me of Investigation Results ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ) The FCRA mandates that consumers be notified of the results of an investigation within XXXX days of submitting a dispute. To date, I have not received any such notification, nor have I been informed of the outcome of your review or the process by which my dispute was evaluated. 
3.Failure to Block Inaccurate Information Promptly ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) The FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receipt of appropriate documentation, such as an FTC Identity Theft Report. This has not occurred in my case. 

Precedent Cases Supporting My Position Your failure to comply with FCRA requirements is not only a violation of my rights but also exposes your agency to liability, as demonstrated in precedent cases : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : This case emphasized that credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct reasonable investigations beyond relying on the data provided by furnishers. 
XXXX v. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) : The Supreme Court upheld consumer rights in disputes related to credit reporting inaccuracies, reinforcing the accountability of credit bureaus under the FCRA. 


Requested Resolution To resolve this matter, I demand the following actions : 1.Conduct a reasonable and thorough reinvestigation of the disputed accounts and transactions associated with my identity theft.

2.Provide a detailed written summary of your investigation, including the steps taken and evidence reviewed.

3.Immediately block or remove all inaccurate information resulting from the identity theft. 

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and potentially pursuing legal remedies.
