Complaint narrative:
I XXXX XXXX am a victim of identity theft. I started this process XX/XX/XXXX and the fraudulent accounts and inquires continue to report to my credit. This has to stop! I have mailed a copy of my police report as well as a copy of my credit report certified mail with all fraudulent accounts and inquiries circled to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX.

It also governs creditors, collection agencies and other businesses that furnish information ( furnishers ) to the CRAs. The FCRA provides victims of identity theft with numerous rights. Consumers can bring legal claims against the CRAs and furnishers if they fail to comply with the FCRA. 
The most important right is the blocking of information on a credit report that resulted from identity theft. A CRA must block the reporting of any fraudulent information within four business  days of receiving a dispute from a consumer that contains : Identification of the fraudulent information ; A copy of an identity theft report ( an identity theft report is an official, valid report filed by the consumer with a federal, state or local law enforcement agency including the post office ) ; A statement by the consumer that the information is not related to any transaction by the consumer ; and Appropriate proof of identity. 
The CRA must notify the furnisher of the information that it has blocked the information as fraudulent. The CRA will also notify the two other national CRAs that it has blocked the information. The consumer should receive a letter from the CRA stating that the information has been blocked. 
If the consumer sends the CRA the required materials and the CRA does not block the disputed information within four days, the consumer can bring a legal claim against the CRA.
