To whom it may concern, I am writing to inform you about a very alarming and important issue regarding the compromise of my social security number, which has resulted in me being a victim of a data breach and identity theft. To address this situation promptly, I have already contacted the Federal Trade Commission and filed an FTC Report which is enclosed with this correspondence. By 15 USC 1681c-2 c ( a ), it is imperative that you, as a credit reporting agency, take immediate action to block and remove all information associated with this identity theft from my credit report. This statute mandates that credit reporting agencies must promptly address such requests within four business days of receiving a complaint that includes the following information : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX - My information was impacted by the Equifax data breach and many different fraudulent items that I don't recognize have shown up on my credit report.
