I am writing to urgently address the fraudulent accounts that have been reported on my credit file. I am a victim of identity theft, and these negative accounts are the result of criminal activities conducted without my knowledge or consent. It is essential that these inaccuracies be rectified immediately to prevent further harm to my credit standing. The fraudulent accounts in question were opened by someone close to me, who stole my personal information and used it to open accounts in my name. After becoming aware of these unauthorized activities, I contacted the respective banks, who have acknowledged the situation and agreed to remove the fraudulent accounts from their records. To support my claim, I have submitted the necessary Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and I have attached a copy of this report for your reference. The banks have confirmed the identity theft and are aware that the accounts were opened without my authorization.

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX, Pa, XXXX Equifax Information Services , LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX XXXX Dear Equifax, On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request for investigation under FCRA 611 ( a ) to Equifax regarding the following accounts on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX In response, I received a letter stating that the information was " VERIFIED ''. However, I am requesting physical documentation to support how this information was verified, as Equifax has been reporting unverifiable and inaccurate information on my credit report, which has damaged my credit score so bad that XXXX cant even get a credit card or a loan in my name. 
Under federal law, information reporting must be 100 % verifiable and 100 % accurate. As such, I am requesting that Equifax delete this erroneous information from my report. Please do not " update '' or " verify '' this information again without conducting a due diligence investigation. 
I am requesting that Equifax provide me with written contract and physical documentation supporting the information being reported on my credit report via USPS mail, as screenshots and medical statements will not suffice. THIS DEBT IS NOT MINE, and I require verification with my actual signature on a contract. 
I value my credit score, and I believe that it is being unjustly degraded as a result of this unfortunate error. I am not requesting a template response to this letter and require specific answers to the questions asked of Equifax. Please note that I intend to pursue legal action if this matter is not resolved. 
I would like to remind you of Dixon-Rollins v. Experian Information Solutions , inc. ( 2010 ) and Miller v. Equifax Information Services LLC ( 2013 ), where consumers won their case against the bureaus due to their lack of reasonable investigation of the dispute. I trust that Equifax will do the right thing and investigate this matter thoroughly. If you can not provide proof that the debt is valid, I request that you delete the information from my credit report. 
I expect a response within 15 days of receipt of this letter. Failure to do so will result in the permanent expunging of the item in question from my credit report. 
Best regards, XXXX XXXX

After discussing my problem with Experian, I notified XXXX of which the customer service representative informed me that there was no file on me. In addition, they would send me a way to access my report with a PIN. I received the letter which was dated for XX/XX/2023. In the meantime, all 3 credit reporting agencies notified me that information regarding my credit worthiness included information from XXXX. I have attempted 3 times to access the report and can not review it. In addition, when I spoke to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX they offered no assistance or resolution. 
Last year I was a victim of identity theft and fraud and with the assistance of the local, state and federal police we was finally able to get a alert on my credit files. No consumer should have to go through the incident and then deal with these reporting agencies. 
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Company: Credence Resource Management, LLC (NY)

To Whom it May Concern, I am reporting two incidents of identity theft involving myself. On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account attached to my XXXX credit report. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX  various times from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX in attempt to dispute this fraudulent account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, a closed XXXX XXXX account with five late payments on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX was added onto my XXXX credit report. 

Ive had a XXXX XXXX account for a long time and have always made monthly payments on time. The fraudulent XXXX XXXX had directly impacted my personal and professional life which has caused me a significant amount of stress and XXXX. The fraudulent XXXX XXXX account has XXXX  late payments with red late payment showing on my credit report. I have attached documents of my accurate XXXX XXXX account as well as on time monthly payments with green checked marks for reference. 

During XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with several differenXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX representatives during this time frame. Each XXXX XXXX XXXX  representative I spoke with told me different solutions regarding my situation or hung up the phone on me. I throughly explained my situation and being victim of identity theft. For example, in XX/XX/XXXX, one representative assured me he would be taking the account off my XXXX credit report and that I would not be charged anything and no further actions would need to be taken on my part. Yet again, another representative promised to me that the account and debt would be taken off my credit report and no further steps on my part would be necessary. After several months and various attempts to resolve the situation, I escalated the situation to an higher up XXXX XXXX XXXX employee who could not help me either : Around XXXX, I noticed a new fraudulent error on my credit report. That fraudulent error being a {$910.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX balance in was sent to Credence Collections. On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed this fraudulent debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX for the XXXX  time and XXXX finally removed the {$910.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX balance from Credence Debt Collectors from my credit report. However, in XX/XX/XXXX, a new {$910.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX balance from Credence Debt Collectors was added on my credit report again after XXXX removed it the first time on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I disputed this fraudulent account once again by contacting the XXXX disputes department. 

Due to this situation, my overall credit score has significantly decreased which has directly impacted my personal and professional life. This has been an ongoing traumatic situation for myself. I do not know what to do at this point to resolve this as this has been an ongoing issue since XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX.
