a ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; b ) a copy of an identity theft report ; c ) the identification of such information by the consumer ; and d ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer.

2. ) I, a consumer in fact, agree with The Congress Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) which concluded that the banking system is dependent upon FAIR and ACCURATE credit reporting. Unfair credit reporting methods undermine the confidence of the public, which is essential to the functioning of our banking system. However, you have acted unfair by reporting unverified and inaccurate information without investigating me about the alleged transactions, and only taking one side of the story. That doesnt sound fair.

3. ) I, a consumer in fact, agree with The Congress that youre nothing but an elaborate mechanism, developed to discriminate against me, based on the evaluation of my credit worthiness, character, and reputation Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ).

Accuracy is about equity and must be equitable to the consumer. Must be fair on both sides, but you werent acting fair when in your initial investigation, you failed to contact me to ask about the alleged transactions, when I am the only individual with actual first-hand knowledge, but only decided to take one side of the story.
