Over the past several months, I have made numerous attempts to dispute and remove these fraudulent items from my credit file. These fraudulent entries are not only inaccurate but are also damaging my credit score and my ability to secure financial opportunities. Despite providing the requisite documentation, I have received several responses from your bureau indicating that these fraudulent items remain on my credit file.

It is imperative that these discrepancies are resolved immediately to prevent further harm to my financial well-being.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I expect that this dispute will be resolved within 30 days.
