DEMAND FOR PERMANENT BLOCKING UNDER FEDERAL LAW\n\nUnder FCRA 15 USC 1681c-2 (Section 605B), once an identity theft report is provided, the credit bureau must block the fraudulent information within 4 business days.\n\nThis law requires deletion of:\n\t\tAny account resulting from identity theft\n\t\tAny account opened without my authorization\n\t\tAny inquiry, loan, collection, tradeline, or charge related to identity theft\n\t\tAny information resulting from the use of compromised personal data\n\n\n\nII.

FERPA LAW (Education Records & Student Loan Fraud)\n\nMy FTC reports list multiple fraudulent federal student loans.\nThis implicates FERPA (20 USC 1232g) because:\n\t\tAny unauthorized access to education-related records is a federal violation.\n\t\tMy data was exposed during national breaches, meaning no legitimate consent existed.\n\t\tAny student-loan-linked reporting to credit bureaus is unlawful when the records themselves were compromised.\n\n\n\n3. UCC Laws\n\nYou are hereby notified that I am asserting rights under:\n\t\tUCC 1-308  Reservation of rights; I do NOT waive any rights under federal consumer-protection law.\n\t\tUCC 2-615  Impossibility applies because I cannot be held responsible for contracts/loans that I did not sign, authorize, or execute.\n\t\tUCC Article 9  A creditor must show proof of a valid security agreement signed by the debtor, which does not exist for fraudulent loans.\n\nNo original wet signatures exist because these contracts were created by an identity thief.\n\n\n\n4.
