Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Apt XXXX XXXX TX, XXXX Experian, When someone is the victim of identity theft, it is simply a nightmare trying to get false information removed from a credit file. I have contacted all of the false creditors listed on my credit file. I have challenged all of the false listings on my credit file and XXXX  and XXXX  seems to be the only 2 bureaus to get it right. EXPERIAN ever happens to fix the situation. 

For months I wrote each of the creditors in question and demanded proof that I am their customer. I asked for proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. So far none of them has been able to provide such proof to me. I have sent follow-up letters to each of them and there is still no proof. I have attempted phone contact and nothing ever gets accomplished. 

I have fully investigated my rights in this matter. Under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX v XXXX ( Mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. I have copies of the certified letters and dates prepared to bring to court after I file my lawsuit. Also, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, these disputed items may not appear on my credit report if they can not be supported by any evidence. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if they can not verify the debt within 30 days, then it must be removed. Your letters to me claim to have " verified '' the debt, but this is in fact not true under law. Simply contacting the alleged creditor and asking them to match up numbers in their database is no sufficient verification for identity theft. Of course the information matches up. Someone clearly used my information without my authorization. 
Now my plan is to sue Experian for being such a pain in the buttocks to me. I have provided more than sufficient evidence to get these false accounts removed. I have sent you identity thefts reports on several occasions. 
You may contact me before XX/XX/XXXX via letter at my address listed at the top of this letter. This matter can be settled simply by your agreement to remove the false information from my credit file. 
I require a response, on point, in writing, hand signed, and in a timely manner. If I get another pointless letter from you saying that it has already been " verified '' then there will be no more opportunity for negotiation. This will proceed in court until I have successfully proven to a judge that this false information must be removed from my credit file. I will also be aggressively pursuing the full judgment that I can get against Experian for violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Defamation. 

The items to be removed from my credit report are listed as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX   XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX OH XXXX XXXX BANK XXXX I look forward to your response.
