The account ( s ) in question, were opened and used without my authorization, and I request its immediate removal from my credit report in accordance with federal law.

As a victim of identity theft, I have never opened or authorized this account, nor have I had any dealings with the collection agency reporting it. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C.1681c-2, I have the right to have fraudulent information resulting from identity theft blocked from my credit report. This statute provides protection for consumers in situations where identity theft results in incorrect or unauthorized accounts appearing on credit reports.

Failure to comply with this statutory obligation could expose the credit bureau to liability under FCRA, 15 U.S.C.1681n, for willful noncompliance, and 15 U.S.C . 1681o, for negligent noncompliance, which entitles victims to damages.

I expect to receive written confirmation within 30 days that this investigation has been completed, and the fraudulent account has been permanently deleted from my credit report. Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to assert my rights under several provisions of U.S. law regarding the handling of my personal information. According to Section 602 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), consumer reporting agencies are required to manage their responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. As a consumer, I am entitled to ensure that my private information is not disclosed without my explicit consent.

Furthermore, Section 6801 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6801 ) mandates that financial institutions must protect the privacy and confidentiality of their customers ' nonpublic personal information. XXXX XXXX XXXX, as a financial institution, is bound by this obligation. 

Under Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), consumer reporting agencies may only furnish a consumer report in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer. Neither XXXX XXXX XXXX, Equifax, nor XXXX has my written consent to disclose my information. Thus, I revoke any and all forms of consent previously given, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise. 

Additionally, Section 6802 ( b ) ( c ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 6802 ) prohibits a financial institution from disclosing nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties unless the consumer has been informed of their right to opt out. XXXX XXXX XXXX  has not provided me with this necessary information. 

Moreover, Section 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c ) prohibits the inclusion of adverse items of information that predate the report by more than seven years. The adverse account in question is being reported in violation of this provision.

Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) requires that a person furnishing information to a consumer reporting agency must ensure its accuracy. Section 1681e mandates that consumer reporting agencies maintain procedures to avoid violations and restrict the furnishing of reports to permissible purposes. Equifax and XXXX are not adhering to these requirements. 

Furthermore, 12 CFR 1016.7 allows consumers to exercise the right to opt out at any time. I am formally opting out of your reporting services.

Please take immediate and indefinite action to address these concerns and ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
