Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX Dear Transunion/XXXX  and XXXX Per the FCRA as a federally protected consumer, I am now opting out of any and all authorization I the consumer may have given you written/unwritten, verbal/nonverbal per 16 CFR 313.7 and 15 USC code 6802 to be effective immediately and indefinitely. Charge offs are considered a certificate of indebtedness which means it is income and must be removed under IRS Publication 4681 as well. 313.7 Form of opt out notice to consumers ; opt out methods. ( a ) ( 1 ) Form of opt out notice. If you are required to provide an opt out notice under 313.10 ( a ), you must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each of your consumers that accurately explains the right to opt out under that section. The notice must state : ( i ) That you disclose or reserve the right to disclose nonpublic personal information about your consumer to a nonaffiliated third party ; ( ii ) That the consumer has the right to opt out of that disclosure; and ( iii ) A reasonable means by which the consumer may exercise the opt out right.15 USC code 6802a ( b ) ( 1 ) a ) Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title. ( b ) Opt out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless- ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. There is information on my consumer report that is a result of identity theft. I did not provide written permission or instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report I am requesting that the reporting of this information be blocked and deleted per the Privacy Act of 1974 and 15U.S.C 1681c-2 ( 605B ). My request to block is not to be made in error, nor is my request to block being made on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions. 605B.Block of information resulting from identity theft [ 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ] ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. ( b ) Notification. A consumer reporting agency shall promptly notify the furnisher of information identified by the consumer under subsection ( a ) ( 1 ) that the information may be a result of identity theft ; ( 2 ) that an identity theft report has been filed ; ( 3 ) that a block has been requested under this section; and ( 4 ) of the effective dates of the block. ( c ) Authority to Decline or Rescind ( 1 ) In general. A consumer reporting agency may decline to block, or may rescind any block, of information relating to a consumer under this section, if the consumer reporting agency reasonably determines that ( A ) the information 2 / 3 was blocked in error or a block was requested by the consumer in error ; ( B ) the information was blocked, or a block was requested by the consumer, on the basis of a material misrepresentation of fact by the consumer relevant to the request to block ; or ( C ) the consumer obtained possession of goods, services, or money as a result of the blocked transaction or transactions. ( 2 ) Notification to consumer. If a block of information is declined or rescinded under this subsection, the affected consumer shall be notified promptly, in the same manner as consumers are notified of the reinsertion of information under section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ). ( 3 ) Significance of block. For purposes of this subsection, if a consumer reporting agency rescinds a block, the presence of information in the 40 605B - 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 file of a consumer prior to the blocking of such information is not evidence of whether the consumer knew or should have known that the consumer obtained possession of any goods, services, or money as a result of the block. 
The identified transactions are not information related to any transaction by me as the consumer : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$930.00} Charge off XXXX XXXX Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Closed XXXX  XXXX Date opened XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$920.00} Late 120 days CHILDSUPPORT XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Closed/collection XXXX / XXXX XXXX  XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Closed XXXX  ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : XXXX Charge off XXXX  XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX Collection/Chargeoff XXXX  XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Date opened : XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$920.00} Charge off
