Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the unauthorized furnishing of my personal credit information by your company. According to my recent credit report, there are entries that I did not authorize and which I believe are in violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This is the XXXX letter and dispute I have sent to this CREDIT BUREAU along with my police report, FTC report, and supporting identity documents verifying my identity. I indicated in all my letters and police report that I am indeed a victim of identity theft, and these creditors and CREDIT BUREAU are violating my consumer rights and not protecting me as an American consumer according to the stated laws. This is my XXXX notice to this company notifying you guys that these listed accounts are fraud. My information isnt protected, and this credit bureau isnt honoring my identity theft claim. My XXXX notice of litigation will be a lawsuit suing this credit bureau, these company did not honor my rights or acknowledge my supporting documents regarding identity theft. I was incarcerated for XXXX years with proof when all these accounts were open illegally and fraudulently and Ive proven this matter and will prove it in court without a doubt, XXXX going to sue for my rights being violated, pain and suffering, false allegations from these creditors and credit bureau, and assisting to furnish wrong and fraudulent accounts. I demand all accounts be removed ASAP. 

Specifically, I refer to the following account : 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 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX above XXXX are fraudulent, and these perpetrators created XXXX 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 incarcerated for XXXX years ; this is the XXXX 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 : XXXX. **Conduct an immediate investigation** : As required by XXXX5 U.S. Code 1681i, I request that you investigate these unauthorized entries on my credit report. 
XXXX. **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 XXXX 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. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
