These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent hard inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I've attached a list of the hard inquiries in question as well as a copy of the consumer FICO credit report maintained by you which shows the aforementioned fraudulent items. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, or hard inquiries as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) 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.I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of certain accounts on my credit report, which are the result of identity theft. My personal information was unlawfully shared without my consent with the credit reporting agencies, constituting a violation of my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). According to these consumer protection laws, I have the right to dispute any information that is a result of identity theft and seek its immediate removal from my credit file. 

Furthermore, the presence of erroneous entries related to student debt, bankruptcy, collections, and child support negatively impacts my credit score and overall financial standing. This not only violates the FCRA but also the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), which protects consumers from fraudulent collection practices. 

I request that you conduct a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies and take the necessary steps to remove any accounts associated with this identity theft. I look forward to your prompt response and confirmation of the corrections made to my credit report.
