XXXX. Identity Theft Accounts and Collections Must Be Deleted Immediately I am a documented victim of identity theft, as outlined in my official FTC Identity Theft Report # XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX. The following fraudulent accounts were opened or placed without my knowledge or consent, and were likely a result of known data breaches involving XXXX, TransUnion, Equifax, Experian, XXXX, and others : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$2700.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX {$310.00} These accounts are fraudulent and must be permanently deleted from all consumer reporting files under FCRA 605B. The law clearly states that a consumer may block any information resulting from identity theft with proper documentation, which I have provided. 



XXXX. XXXXXXXX XXXX Inaccurate Late Payment History Must Be Corrected The account with XXXX XXXX, opened on XX/XX/XXXX, and paid in full with a {$0.00} balance, is reporting a pattern of late payments in XXXX and XXXX that are inaccurate, unverifiable, and damaging. 

According to the FCRA : 602 ( A ) You are required to report only accurate and verifiable information.

609 ( A ) ( 1 ) I have the right to request the method of verification for these alleged late payments.
