I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The list of accounts below has violated my federally protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality 15 USC 1681.

Subject to Subsection ( f ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumers file at a consumer agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller, of such dispute, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the items from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller. I am well aware of my rights as a consumer. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that you, the credit-reporting agency, report accurate and/or correct account information within my credit file. My credit issues are very specific, these accounts don't belong to me. This means that you are reporting incorrect accounts information within my credit report. It is with this in mind that I request that these listed accounts and items be BLOCKED and DELETED!
