Complaint narrative:
b'Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission id-entity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items.\n\n\nI would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA:\n\n\nUnder 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including "In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury." This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of theseHe circumstances apply in this case.\n\n\nUnder 15 U.S.C. 1681i(a)(1)(A), credit bureaus must conduct a "reasonable reinvestigation" upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I\'ve identified.\n\n\n15 U.S. Code  1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes.
