XXXX XXXX XXXX, Original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX To repeat, these transactions occurred without my permission. I would like to request the suppression of the above items from my credit report, which are the result of me being a victim of identity theft. This information does not relate to transactions that I have made/accounts that I have opened. As such, it should be blocked from appearing on my credit report pursuant to section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S. Code 1681, 15 U.S. Code 1692g and 15 U.S. Code 1601. As previously stated, I did not originate these debts. Reporting is voluntary not mandatory. Not ONE law says anything has to be reported. In any situation, it is hampering my reputation and I am unable to obtain new credit. In addition, I have been getting denied for employment, having difficulty purchasing a car, and trouble getting approved for a place to live.
