I have enclosed a copy my Police Report/FTC identity theft report ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) to support my identity theft claim. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies must block any information identified by the consumer as resulting from identity theft within four business days. 

To following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and should be blocked : ACCOUNTS : XXXX AUTO ACCOUNT # XXXX DPT EDXXXX ACCOUNT # XXXX US DEPT ED ACCOUNT # XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCOUNT # XXXX DPT EDXXXX ACCOUNT # XXXX DPT ED/XXXX ACCOUNT # XXXX DPT EDXXXX ACCOUNT # XXXX DPT ED/XXXX ACCOUNT # XXXX As required by 15 U.S.C 1681c-2, please block this fraudulent information from my credit report immediately.

Several times I have called the bureau reporting these fraudulent accounts in my report and Equifax Information Services LLC has not wanted to give me a solution to this problem where I am being totally affected to be able to acquire a new house for my children, these collections were eliminated and not verified by others bureaus I don't understand how they usually say that these accounts are mine.

Under Section 611 of the FCRA, I have the right to dispute inaccuracies and request prompt investigation.

Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : Requirement for verification of accounts through original documentation.

2. Section 611 : Right to dispute inaccuracies and request investigation.

3. Section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : Removal of unverifiable information dont validate for creditor Original.

4. 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which requires that the procedures for including information in credit reports ensure maximum possible accuracy Despite my request, Equifax Information Services LLC has failed to conduct a thorough investigation or resolve these discrepancies within the required time frame of 30 days. This negligence has led to the continued reporting of false information, which has negatively impacted my creditworthiness.

In my request, I emphasized that any unverifiable information should be removed from my credit report IMMEDIATELY within the mandated 30-day period, as established in 15 U.S. Code 1681i. Additionally, I referenced 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ), which requires that the procedures for including information in credit reports ensure maximum possible accuracy.
