Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally request the removal of certain debts from my credit report, as they are the result of unauthorized access to my personal information by XXXX XXXX and the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ). This unauthorized access has led to fraudulent activities affecting my financial standing. 

Background : Recent reports indicate that DOGE operatives have gained access to sensitive federal computer systems containing personal data of millions of individuals, including Social Security numbers and financial information.
