XXXX. 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports : You have acted without my written consent, which equates to identity theft. 

I, XXXX XXXX did not consent to, authorize, or benefit from any of the reported inquiries or accounts. These are inaccurate, and I demand their removal. I've attached an FTC report # XXXX confirming identity theft incidents in my name. You are required by 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 to complete this reinvestigation and block or update all information resulting from identity theft within 4 days of receiving this letter. 

THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW. You will be criminally and civilly liable for all the fees listed in my invoice attached. Please remove all fraudulent accounts as I have no knowledge of any of these accounts due to the XXXX XXXX XXXX data breach/identity theft. All is being investigated by the FTC and CFPB. According to FCRA 605B, this information must be blocked immediately until the investigation is over.

Also, 15 USC 1681n defines Civil liability for willful noncompliance : in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater.

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681g, I have the right to demand that you disclose to me all the documents that you have recorded and retained in your file at the time of the request concerning the accounts that you are reporting on my credit report. 

XXXXIMPORTANT XXXX  PLEASE don't respond to my request by saying that these accounts have been verified by the information provider. SEND ME COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU HAVE RETAINED IN YOUR FILES THAT YOUR COMPANY USED TO VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THESE DISPUTED ACCOUNTS. I demand that the following account be verified or removed immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bankruptcy discharged XXXX XXXX bankruptcy dismissed Dispute Reason : According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), the agent is in breach of 15 U.S.C. 1692e, which prevents the dissemination of false or misleading information, and 15 U.S.C. 1692j, which bars the provision of deceptive forms. Furthermore, as stipulated by 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I should have received a written notification regarding this issue at least five days prior, but this was not done. Being the only original creditor, I hold the sole right to authenticate this debt. Therefore, I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS DEBT.

Dispute Instruction : According to the provisions of 15 USC 1692g, 15 USC 1681b, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have not granted any permission for your agency to list this public record on my credit report. For all accounts mentioned above, I require verification and validation of every detail including notations, dates, and balances, irrespective of their reported status. I also request evidence of your verification method, and the specific details that correspond with mine. Absent precise matches, the account must be removed immediately in accordance with the FCRA. Pertaining to 15 USC 1605, 15 USC 1666b, 15 USC 1681a, and 15 USC 1681i ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), any reported late payments on this account must be promptly removed. This account has always been current, and proof should be available demonstrating that any statements were mailed to me at least 21 days prior to any due payment. As per FCRA Sections 605, 609, and 623, I request this evidence. Additionally, as this is listed as a collection account, the collecting party must authenticate the survivability of this debt, their ownership of the debt, their collection rights, and that all their details align with the original creditor. Without such proof, the entry must be deleted. Finally, as outlined in 15 USC 1681b related to the permissible purposes of consumer reports : it is expressly articulated that a consumer reporting agency may provide a report in line with the written instructions of the associated consumer. The record of this account is erroneous ; I have never defaulted on my payments. 
Kindly update the status to reflect accurate, timely payments. 

I know that as the consumer, I HOLD ALL THE POWER. As a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, I presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact, exists. As a consumer XXXX XXXX and the one with ALL THE POWER, these inaccurate accounts on this letter must be deleted immediately AS IN ASAP, or I will seek monetary damages in small claims court in my city and state. Since I attached my form of ID, PROOF OF ADDRESS, & SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, this complaint lists someone that your company should recognize as their customer or their customers authorized representative. 

We have also involved and sent this letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Attorney Generals Office, Better Business Bureau, and Federal Trade Commission. Erroneous RESULT OF the XXXX XXXX Data Breach Direct Violation 15 USC 1681 Reporting incorrectly. THESE INQUIRIES & ACCOUNTS ARE inaccurate across all 3 Bureaus : XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX. 

Furthermore, I certify that this request to block was made NOT in error, and My request to block information was NOT based on a material misrepresentation. I DID NOT knowingly obtain or should have known that I obtained possession of goods, services, or monies as a result of one or more of the transactions that I am seeking to block. If I received goods and services, then please have a senior executive certify under the penalty of perjury that I, in fact, received goods and services as a result of this transaction in writing under 15 USC 1681B ( a ) ( 2 ). Additionally, I request that you send me a validation of all debts according to GAAP. If you can not do that, then you must remove them. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
