I submitted my dispute on XX/XX/XXXX, regarding accounts and information appearing on my credit report that were the result of identity theft. 

As part of my dispute submission, I provided all necessary documentation, including a copy of my FTC Identity Theft Report ( filed due to the Equifax data breach ), proof of identity, and supporting evidence to demonstrate that the information in question is fraudulent. Despite this, the inaccuracies remain on my credit reports, and I have not received any meaningful resolution or acknowledgment of proper investigation.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputes and remove inaccurate or unverifiable information. Failure to comply with this obligation is a violation of federal law.

3. Provide a written confirmation of the investigation results within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

If these issues are not resolved promptly, I will consider escalating the matter by filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and pursuing legal action if necessary. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this dispute and keep me informed of your progress. I expect a resolution within the legally mandated time frame.
