It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, the 3 Credit Bureaus are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The disputed account does not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove this file. XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$990.00} ; If the credit bureaus feel there is a possibility this account belongs to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires them to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If they do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.
