Complaint narrative:
I am writing to have the following information removed from my credit file, the items that I need to have deleted will be attached in a pdf document. I have several accounts that I DID NOT apply for listed on my credit report. My information was exposed in the Equifax Data Breach and as a result someone opened up several fraudulent accounts in my name. I ask that these items be deleted so my credit report will only show accurate information. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and have also enclosed copies of the report. According to FCRA 6058B this information must be blocked within 4 days. Equifax has been slow in responding to my request via postal mail so now I'm involving the CFPB. This inaccurate information is causing me lots of stress and discomfort and embarrassment.

Complaint narrative:
I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
