XXXX XXXX DOB : XX/XX/XXXX Last 4 of SSN : XXXX XXXX. I am contacting the CFPB today to detail my recent experience with identity theft. 

XXXX XXXX, the individual who stole my identity, lived with me for XXXX years. He made copies of my social security card, driver 's license, and birth certificate during his stay. He proceeded to open up numerous accounts in my name with no authorization from me. I am trying my best to remedy the fire he started but he has been the direct cause of the crippling debt that is reporting to my credit report. I have also filed a police report, but this is all I can do as he is nowhere to be found. 

I sent this letter twice before, and some accounts are still reporting. All I can do is tell the story of what I experienced and hope that I can get some help on the credit bureau 's end. I would really appreciate being able to put all this behind me and continue the recovery process. I can't do that if these accounts that I've reported to the police and to the FTC are still showing up on my credit report. Please don't make me pay and suffer for someone else 's evil wrongdoings. 

I tried resolving this with just Equifax, but unfortunately, after multiple failed attempts, there still seems to be some kind of disconnect with the current methods of communication ; a direct cause for me including the CFPB this time around. 

Also, after researching for hours on the best ways to help my situation, this CFPB complaint has been filed to request under 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 you receiving this complaint. The following accounts are the fraudulent/unauthorized accounts in question : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I dont recognize the accounts, collections, or hard inquiries listed on my credit report. These entries were not made, opened, or initiated by me. Unfortunately, they are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ), along with the other numerous FTC Affidavits I have submitted to Equifax, as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud.
