please do not send back results saying these accounts are verified, how can identity theft be verified This letter is to inform you that I received a copy of my credit report that your company publishes and after reviewing it I found a number of items on the report that are inaccurate and/or not belonging to me. The accounts in question are attached on a separate page. A copy of section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires you to block the fraudulent information on my credit report resulting from identity theft within four business days and to promptly notify the furnisher ( s ) of that information.

Please send me a copy of the documents that you have in your file as of the date of this request, that you used to verify the accuracy of the accounts that are attached.

By publishing these inaccurate and unverified items on my credit report and distributing them to 3rd parties you are damaging my reputation and damaging my creditworthiness.

Therefore, if you are unable to provide me with a copy of the verifiable proof that you have on file for each of these inquiries from my credit report.
