Complaint:
Subject : Notice of Violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 and 15 U.S. Code 1681n I am writing to inform you about a serious matter regarding my credit report that requires your immediate attention. It has come to my attention that my credit report contains inaccurate and fraudulent information as a result of identity theft, which is a direct violation of the regulations set forth in 15 U.S. Code 1681c2.

According to the provisions of 15 U.S. Code 1681c2, any credit reporting agency is required to block information resulting from identity theft from being reported on a consumer 's credit report. Identity theft is a crime that I unfortunately fell victim to, and as a result, certain fraudulent accounts and inaccurate information have been listed on my credit report maintained by your agency.

I have taken the necessary steps to report the identity theft to both law enforcement agencies and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). I have also provided documentation of these reports to your agency along with a written request to block the fraudulent information from my credit report, as stipulated by law. Despite my efforts and adherence to the legal requirements, the inaccurate information still remains on my credit report.

This blatant noncompliance with the legal provisions outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 has caused me significant distress and financial hardship. Furthermore, under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, credit reporting agencies can be held liable for willful noncompliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, resulting in financial damages to the affected consumer.

I kindly request that you take immediate action to rectify this situation by promptly blocking the fraudulent information from my credit report and providing me with written confirmation of the same. Failure to address this matter within a reasonable timeframe will leave me with no option but to pursue legal action to seek the remedies outlined in the aforementioned statute.

I trust that you will treat this matter with the seriousness it deserves and take swift action to correct the inaccuracies on my credit report. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and hope to receive a timely response.

I recently obtained a copy of my credit report and found several accounts listed that do not belong to me. I wish to formally dispute these inaccuracies, as they have negatively affected my credit score and financial standing.

Under Section 611 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), I am requesting an investigation and removal of these erroneous entries. 
The details of the accounts XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX These entries are incorrect as I have never opened or authorized these accounts.
