Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter as a formal complaint. You are reporting inaccurate and fraudelent information on my credit report. I would like to inform you that I am a victim of Identity Theft which led to the posting and reporting of false information. 
The Fair credit reporting act section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) clearly states that the federal law requires you to provide a verifiable proof for the alleged items, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature and showing my association to the Fraudulent Account and Inquiry listed below. 

I do not recall giving authorization nor signing any documents to give access to my credit history, therefore the account and inquiry below are fraudulent and violate my rights. The Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( i ) states that your failure to provide Valid and verifiable proof obligates you to immediately remove the Unverified and Fraudulent account listed below. 

I have contacted your organization previously to remove invalid and inaccurate information that does not belong to me and to put my file on fraud alert .The Complaint was closed without me receiving a response. You have clearly failed to take actions. The Fcra Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) require you to delete it immediately as you have failed to provide a verifiable proof as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ) The Law Clearly states your civil liability under Fcra section 616 & section section 617 for your failure to comply with the Federal Law. Moreover, I intend to enforce my rights under the fcra and purse rightful litigation in the matter should you fail to comply. 

Furthermore, I urge for the removal of inaccurate name and addresses showing on my credit profile. I have enclosed here copies of my U.S Government official passport and social security card, as well as additional documents to support my claims.
