[ Your Name ] [ Your Address ] [ City, XXXX, Zip Code ] [ Email Address ] [ Phone Number ] [ Date ] Experian XXXX Assistance XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Subject : Formal Request for Removal of Identity Theft-Related Account Dear Experian Consumer Assistance, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost importance regarding my credit report. I recently discovered that there is an account listed on my credit report that is a direct result of identity theft. 

Account Information : Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Account Number : XXXX I have already taken the necessary steps by filing a dispute, providing supporting documentation, and contacting the creditor involved. Despite these efforts, the account remains on my credit report, negatively impacting my XXXX XXXX and financial standing. 

I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting and the role it plays in financial decisions. As a consumer, I have diligently followed the established procedures to rectify this situation. However, the persistence of this erroneous entry compels me to express my concern and take more decisive action. 

I want to make it clear that if the account resulting from identity theft is not promptly removed from my credit report, I will have no choice but to explore legal avenues to protect my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable consumer protection laws. I believe in the importance of a fair and accurate credit reporting system, and I trust that Experian shares this commitment. 

Enclosed with this letter, please find copies of the relevant documents, including the identity theft affidavit, police report, and any communication with the creditor. I urge you to review this information thoroughly and expedite the removal of the contested account from my credit report. 

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and expect a resolution within the timeframe stipulated by the FCRA. If my concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, I will be left with no choice but to pursue legal remedies. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in resolving this issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I have done everything by the book with disputing these accounts. Ive contacted the bank in regards to this matter. They claimed its been resolved. Ive contact the law enforcement agency and filed a report and affidavit. They claim the identity theft report is valid. And lastly, XXXX contact the credit reporting agencies. Both XXXX and XXXX have removed the accounts per legal requirement. But for some weird reason Experian feels XXXX not following all the steps. 
XXXX LOANMART XXXX -PLEASE DELETE!!! EQ and XXXX have already removed this account from their records.. 
Id like the CFPB to honestly look closely at this case because it seems this is a lack of their legal requirement to process the identity theft report. I have filed it with a law enforcement agency. XXXX is a federal law enforcement agency. Id like to see this matter handled properly. All this grief of identity theft and not having any access to my credit is creating a ton of emotional and physical distress. Its cause a great deal of strain in my work and personal lives. I literally losing my mind because I have no other recourse

Complaint narrative:
I write to express my profound dissatisfaction with the inadequate validation of certain items on my credit report. Upon meticulous review, it is evident that the provided information is insufficient to validate the associated debts. The following accounts are particularly troubling, as the details provided fall short of the necessary standards for proper validation : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  It is noteworthy that the other two credit bureaus have already removed these accounts from their records after acknowledging an error. I find it perplexing that you claim to have verified this information while the others have promptly corrected their records. Your non-compliance with these rectifications is not only baffling but raises concerns about your adherence to the law. I withhold my consent for electronic communication and explicitly request that all responses be conveyed in written form through the United States Postal Service ( USPS ). The bankruptcy which is being reported to my credit report is inaccurate. The case which youre reporting as valid & accurate is actually incorrect. I never had a case tried or seen. There was NEVER A JUDGMENT. No judgment means there was never a case. A judge never saw a case so how is one being reported. Please see this account is removed from my file at once. If you continue to report this information without truly verifying the information I will be seeking a legal remedy. Ive already discussed this matter with my attorney & he will draw up the federal case within 30 days of this letter if its not removed. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
