Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

I don't know how many letters I have sent your bureau regarding my identity theft, but my concerns remain unresolved. Here I am again, disputing the fraudulent information damaging my file and expecting your immediate action this time. 
Despite sending the required FTC complaint, your bureau is still reporting these fraudulent accounts on my credit report. I have contacted the banks associated with these accounts, submitted the necessary documents, and they have immediately deleted the accounts from their records. 

Additionally, other credit bureaus have already removed these accounts after receiving the FTC complaint. I am curious about the verification method your bureau used to continue reporting these fraudulent accounts. 
The following fraudulent accounts have been listed on my credit profile : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX

Please remove all un mailable addresses.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681, Section 602 ), there is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their significant responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumers right to privacy. Equifax and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies, and I am the consumer. I have the right to ensure my private information is not shared, as backed by 15 USC 6801, which states : " It is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' A furnisher of information to credit agencies is defined as a financial institution under this title.

According to 15 USC 1681, Section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ), " any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' Neither Equifax, XXXX, nor the furnisher of information to credit agencies have my consent to furnish this information, and they certainly do not have my written consent. Therefore, any consent previously given, whether verbal, non-verbal, written, implied, or otherwise, is hereby revoked.

Furthermore, 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " a financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' The furnisher of information to credit agencies never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option.

Additionally, 15 USC 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) states : " Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information : any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes, which antedates the report by more than seven years. '' This account is an adverse item being reported without my permission.
