Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Request for Removal of Inaccurate Negative Accounts Due to Identity Theft Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally request the removal of several negative accounts that have been incorrectly reported on my credit report. These accounts are the result of identity theft, during which my personal information, including my Social Security number, was stolen and misused to open fraudulent accounts without my knowledge or consent. 

The following accounts are erroneously reporting negative information on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Charge : Unauthorized charges Date : XX/XX/year> XXXX, XXXX. 
Account Number : XXXX Charge : Unauthorized charges Date : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Account Number : XXXX Charge : Unauthorized charges Date : XXXX XXXX There are additional accounts that are attached documents. 

I have already reported the identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission and have attached a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report, as well as proof of my identity, for your reference. 

As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), furnishers of information are required to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information they provide to consumer reporting agencies. Given that these accounts are fraudulent, I am requesting their immediate removal from my credit report to prevent further damage to my credit score. I also request that the furnishers of these accounts be informed that these debts are the result of identity theft, and that they cease all reporting of this erroneous information to the credit reporting agencies. 

I have included the Notice to Furnishers of Information document, which outlines your responsibilities under the FCRA, including the obligation to investigate and correct inaccurate information. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency it requires and ensure that my credit report is updated accordingly. 

Please confirm receipt of this letter and notify me once the negative accounts have been removed. I look forward to your prompt attention and resolution of this matter. 

Thank you for your time and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX Enclosures : FTC Identity Theft Report Proof of Identity Notice to Furnishers of Information
