These accounts are not mine and are directly connected to the XXXX Equifax data breach, during which my personally identifiable information ( PII ) was compromised. I am also filing this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) due to the severity of the issue and your legal obligations under federal law. 



These fraudulent accounts are listed in a sworn complaint I have filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and I am demanding that all such accounts be removed from my credit file within four ( 4 ) business days from the date of your receipt of this letter, as they are the result of identity theft and unauthorized use of my personal information.

As ruled in XXXX XXXX Trans Union XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ), credit reporting agencies have a duty to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation and XXXX be held liable for failing to do so. 
In XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX Cir. XXXX ), the court held that CRAs can be held accountable under the FCRA for willfully failing to correct or remove inaccurate information. 




I am invoking my rights under the FCRA and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), and I demand the immediate deletion of the following inaccurate accounts, which are directly associated with the aforementioned breach and identity theft : Attached to this letter are the following documents for your review : Copy of my government-issued photo ID Proof of data breach Copy of the FTC Identity Theft Report 605b Letter If you fail to remove the inaccurate information from my credit file within four ( 4 ) business days as requested, I will be forced to escalate this matter through legal channels, including filing a complaint with the CFPB, the FTC, and my state attorney general. I also reserve the right to pursue a civil action for damages pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o.
