FCRA XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Sources If you choose to verify this account instead of blocking and deleting it under FCRA XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C.

XXXX from a subsidiary, affiliate, or data furnisher owned or controlled by your agency is not acceptable and violates the independence requirement under XXXX XXXX. XXXX ( a ). 


If the furnisher claims to possess a signed fraud affidavit or any documentation asserting I openedthis account, I demand an exact copy. 


Failure to provide such documentation will be treated as a formal admission that no such evidence exists, and any continued reporting will constitute a willful violation of FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( A ), subject to civil liability under XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ( willful noncompliance ) and XXXX ( negligent noncompliance ). 


These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent XXXX  inquiries and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer XXXX credit report.
