Complaint narrative:
It appears that my credit/my file/my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since XXXX a stickler for research, I found that under section XXXX of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. I have attached my FTC report and my Police report that I have filed on my local police department that would testify that I am a victim of Identity Theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. XXXX attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). I found that under section XXXX ( a ) XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than XXXX business days after the date of receipt and it requires the following documents and statement to remove the disputed accounts on my file : ( XXXX ) Appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( XXXX ) A copy of an identity theft report ; ( XXXX ) The identification of such information by the consumer ; and ( XXXX ) A statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. 

The dispute items do not belong to me. XXXX attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA XXXX XXXX ( q ) ( XXXX ) which states ( XXXX ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the XXXX, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) That alleges an identity theft ; ) ( B ) That is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, XXXX, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States XXXX XXXX XXXX, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the XXXX ; and ( C ) The filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) Please block/remove these files.

If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.
