XXXX XXXX SEARCH REPORT : I have attached a Certified Search Report from the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX.

This report is legally binding and demonstrates that there is no legitimate debt associated with my name from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX. 

This is further proof that XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX have no basis for continuing to report these fraudulent debts on my credit file. 

DEMAND FOR ACTION : Immediate Removal of All Fraudulent Accounts : I demand the immediate removal of the fraudulent accounts listed above from my credit reports with XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion.

CONCLUSION : Given the XXXX XXXX  Search Report, identity theft report, and the violations of XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and XXXX U.S.C.

The documentation provided demonstrates that I have no debt, and any continued reporting of these accounts is fraudulent.
