Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern : I am a victim of identity theft and I have recently found another account that has been fraudulently added to my credit report. 
Account # XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX is claiming I owe {$320.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX 
This account is not mine. In fact, Equifax recently completed an investigation on this same amount that XXXX XXXX XXXX is claiming that I owe. The investigation results were completed on XXXX and you mailed me a copy of this deletion with a confirmation # of XXXX stating that this account had been deleted. 
Additionally, XXXX and XXXX completed an investigation as well and had the account deleted and removed from my credit report as well. 
Attached you will find several documented pieces of evidence that has been filed with local law enforcement and other government institutes for this illegal account. Please review the following evidence : Office of the Attorney General of Virginia Notarized documentation that XXXX  XXXX  XXXX  has created several fraudulent accounts over the years ( scroll to page 8 ) FTC Report Number XXXX for the Fraudulent account # XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX 
Police Report with XXXX County Sheriffs Office Incident # XXXX reporting identity theft that has led to several illegal accounts on my credit reports. 
XXXX  Deletion notice from Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Complaint Case ID XXXX XXXX Deletion notice from Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Complaint Case ID XXXX Equifax Deletion notice from my credit report with confirmation # XXXX Please have this account removed immediately from my credit report. 
Because as I mentioned this item has been reinserted on my credit report under a fraudulent account number and name. 
In accordance with the requirements of the FCRA section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ), you are required to notify me of the reinsertion in writing within 5 business days. 
( B ) Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material ( ii ) Notice to consumer If any information that has been deleted from a consumer 's file pursuant to subparagraph ( A ) is reinserted in the file, the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer of the reinsertion in writing not later than 5 business days after the reinsertion or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by any other means available to the agency. 
I received no such notification. This is a very serious violation of the FCRA, and I reserve the right to pursue legal action for your blatant disregard for the law. 
I hereby demand that you immediately delete the item from my credit report in order to avoid legal action. I am submitting this complaint separately to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Attorney General 's Office, and the XXXX. 
Please govern yourself accordingly.
