Complaint:
Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX, I am writing to report a distressing incident of identity theft that has caused significant harm to my financial standing. It has come to my attention that someone has fraudulently used my social security number to open multiple credit card accounts without my consent or knowledge. The unauthorized activities conducted under my name have resulted in a series of negative items on my credit report, which are entirely inaccurate and detrimental to my financial reputation. I am deeply concerned about the potential long-term consequences if these fraudulent accounts are not promptly addressed and removed from my credit profile. I kindly request your immediate attention and assistance in investigating this matter. I have taken the necessary steps to file a police report and have notified the affected credit card issuers. I have also placed fraud alerts on my accounts with the major credit reporting agencies. Considering the severity of this situation, I implore you to take immediate action to remove all negative items associated with these fraudulent accounts from my credit report. This will help restore my creditworthiness and prevent further damage to my financial stability. I have enclosed copies of the relevant documents, including the police report and any other supporting evidence, to aid your investigation. Please treat this matter with utmost urgency and provide me with regular updates regarding the progress made in resolving this issue. I greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this distressing time. I trust that your expertise in handling identity theft cases will enable a swift resolution to this matter. Should you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided contact information. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. The items I need deleted are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft and did not make this change. I ask that the items be deleted to correct my credit report. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and I also have enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commission 's Identity Theft Affidavit. Please delete the items as soon as possible. Based on, 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 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 It's been more than 30 days and you as the credit reporting agencies are in VIOLATION of this law because I am a victim of identity theft! Please remove these accounts as soon as possible
