Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the inclusion of certain accounts in my consumer report, as they are in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681b ) and my consumer rights. I have never provided written consent to any consumer reporting agency to report this information, and I believe this constitutes a violation of my rights as a consumer. 

Specifically, 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) states that " in accordance with the written instruction of the consumer to whom it relates, '' a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report. To the best of my knowledge, I have never provided such written instruction to report the accounts in question. This lack of consent is a serious matter that may involve identity theft, and I am demanding the immediate deletion of the following accounts from my consumer report : Account name : XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX : XXXX Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX Account name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account number : XXXX ( Unauthorized Inquires ) EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquired on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXnquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX Inquiry XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX INN FIN XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXnquiry date XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX ( Unauthorized Addresses ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX Furthermore, according to 15 USC 1681c-2 , a consumer reporting agency is obligated to block the reporting of any information that the consumer identifies as resulting from an alleged identity theft.
