Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing for your assistance in making representations to the three major credit reporting agencies, namely XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX, to verify that the information being reported on my credit file is accurate and valid. I have recently been made aware that my personal information was compromised as part of a data breach that included my social security number, phone number, address, email, which is of great concern to me and the validity of my credit reports and whether or not these debts are valid. Not disputing yet would like the information confirmed before I take action. Also, because it's just now coming to my attention, there is a lot of XXXX XXXX XXXX, not XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Request for Verification of Personal Information I hereby request that XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX verify and update my personal information to ensure its accuracy. My correct information is as follows : * Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
* Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I do, and I trust that the CFPB will address the above matter in a timely fashion and ensure the credit reporting agencies comply with their legal requirements. Please let me know if further documentation is needed from me. 
Thank you for your help. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
