 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Dear Credit Reporting Agency,
I recently discovered that I am a victim of identity theft. So I am writing to request an EXTENDED FRAUD ALERT to be immediately placed in my credit file so that no new credit will be approved or issued until the lender first verified my identity.
Fortunately, in accordance with the FCRA Sections 605B,615(f) and 623 (a)(6), an identity theft report can be used to permanently block fraudulent information that results from identity theft, such as accounts or addresses from appearing on a victims credit report. Identity theft reports can prevent a company from continuing to collect debts that result from Identity theft. Pursuant to the FCRA 605B (15 U.S.C. 1681C-2), PLEASE BLOCK ALL INFORMATION RESULTING FROM IDENTITY THEFT, except as otherwise provided in this Section A, in which a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer identifies as information resulted from an alleged identity theft, NO LATER THAN 4 BUSINESS DAYS after the date of receipt by agency.
I ask that you comply with the Federal Laws in place, and swiftly and permanently block the accounts, addresses, inquiries and other information that you are reporting listed on the Identity Theft Report List Of Fraudulent Accounts. I am also requesting to be mailed a new credit report to my address of record above.
Sincerely,
XXXX XXXX  Enclosures:
a. Identity Theft Report
b. List of Fraudulent Accounts on my Report
c. FCRA Sections 605,609,6011
