These perpetrators created fraudulent identity documents such as a fake ID and other fake documents to secure a loan in my name and make payments on the loan accounts. My identity has been stolen and compromised during the time I was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; this is the 6th notice I have sent this company with all supporting evidence and documentation. I will be suing for assisting and adding in opening accounts and furnishing fraudulent data on my consumer credit report, this company did not take the proper steps to help protect my consumer report and properly investigate this matter. 

Under the FCRA, 15 U.S. Code 1681b, consumer reporting agencies may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, such as with the consumers written consent or in connection with a credit transaction initiated by the consumer. I did not provide my consent for the release or sharing of my personal information related to these accounts, nor did I initiate any credit transactions with the entities listed. 

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681c requires that consumer reporting agencies ensure the accuracy and privacy of consumer information. The unauthorized disclosure of my information not only violates this statute but also exposes me to potential identity theft and other forms of financial harm. 

I request that you take the following actions : 1. **Conduct an immediate investigation** : As required by 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I request that you investigate these unauthorized entries on my credit report.

2. **Remove the disputed entries** : If the investigation finds these entries were indeed unauthorized, they must be promptly removed from my credit report. 
XXXX. **Provide written confirmation** : Send me a written confirmation that the unauthorized entries have been removed from my credit report. 

Please consider this letter as a formal complaint and take all necessary actions to resolve this matter within the 30-day timeframe stipulated by the FCRA. Failure to do so may result in further legal action to protect my rights. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.

I previously engaged CFPB regarding identity theft, and I was recently notified by credit bureaus that my fraud block request under Section 605B of the FCRA was denied. I have gathered documents from two out of three previous companies stating that they have directed the removal of fraudulent accounts from my credit report. I request that this be done within 4 BUSINESS DAYS as directed in the previous letter. Attached are the supporting documents from the data furnishers along with the original documentation sent. 

Consumer Name : XXXX XXXX Consumer Social Security Number : XXXX Consumer Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX Contents of Complaint : This CFPB complaint has been filed to request, pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), that you, the EQUIFAX credit reporting agency , block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of receiving this complaint. This fraudulent, inaccurate, and false information consists of a personal credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number ( XXXX ), and a personal credit card account opened at XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number ( XXXX ). These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries, collections, and charge offs appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report. 

I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer XXXX credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize these accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. These are the result of identity theft and fraud. 

Attached is a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that these accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
