Complaint:
Dear EQUIFAX To Whom It May Concern : I was in the process of applying for new employment and it was brought to my attention that there is some inaccurate information reported on my credit report.I received a copy of my credit report and to my surprise, I saw all these inaccurate items that are not correct. By the way, I hope that this does not hinder my ability to obtain employment due to this inaccurate information showing. I was advised by a legal friend of mine that under 15 US Code 1681a section 603 ( k ) ( b ) ( ii ) can be considered an adverse action. 
Therefore I want the following accounts to be updated to the correct amount, date, status, open and closed date, last date of activity, and time. 
If you can not complete this request, please delete the accounts immediately. 
I have provided an exhibit of evidence showing the inaccuracies of my reports. 
Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit report. 
Accounts there is some inaccurate information reporting.

Oh by the way I hope you understand that the FCRA states in the section below 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 Block of information resulting from identity theft 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. 
If you claim these items are 100 % accurate and verifiable, then I need you to provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these items bearing my signature, as I believe none exists. When you find no signed agreement bearing my signature, I need you to remove these items from my file. 
Please note Im sending this letter certified to protect my rights. Ive researched online that you make a habit to not comply with the above listed FCRA statute. If you choose to ignore my request to block these items, I will be referring this matter to my attorney for further action. Please do not make this a litigious matter... 
Lastly, you have 30 days to complete this investigation, as per Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), and I am keeping careful record of your actions, including your Method of Verification. I do not consent to XXXX  or any means of automated verification. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
