I am writing to dispute fraudulent information on my credit report pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 and to request that this information be blocked immediately. Enclosed is a copy of my Police Report and FTC Identity Theft Report ( FTC Report Number : XXXX ) to support my identity theft claim. 
Under 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, once a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified as resulting from identity theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and should be blocked : Fraudulent Accounts to Be Removed : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX As required by law, this fraudulent information should be blocked for at least one year, after which I may request an extension of the block. During this time, you may not report this information on my credit file or indicate that my report contains any fraudulent data. 
I have contacted the Equifax, on several occasions to report these fraudulent accounts, yet I have not received any resolution. This situation is seriously affecting my ability to qualify for a new home for my children. These same accounts were deleted and not verified by other credit bureaus, which raises serious questions about their legitimacy. 
I have also requested verification and contract documentation from the companies reporting these accounts, and more than 60 days have passed without any response. Therefore, I am requesting immediate action. 
Enclosed is my FTC Identity Theft Report. I respectfully request that you make a fair and just decision regarding my situation.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate and derogatory information listed on my credit report under the account name Santander Consumer USA. The account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX, and the vehicle in question was repossessed in XX/XX/XXXX and sold in XX/XX/XXXX without proper notice as required under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

Specifically, the following legal violations occurred : I was not given any written notice of intent to sell the repossessed vehicle. 
I was not provided the opportunity to redeem the vehicle or attend a public sale, as required by XXXX and federal law. 
The sale was not commercially reasonable, and no accounting of the proceeds was disclosed to me. 
I was later contacted about a deficiency balance, which is invalid under XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without proof of proper sale procedures. 

Furthermore, this debt was sold to a third-party collector and is now being reported as derogatory on my credit report. This action violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 1681s-2, which requires that information furnished to credit bureaus be accurate and complete.

I request that you conduct an investigation under FCRA 1681i and remove or correct this account immediately. I have enclosed supporting documentation, including correspondence and a statement showing the deficiency balance reported after the unlawful sale.
