Consumer Narrative
I have filed a complaint along with a copy of an Identity Theft Report ( see attached ) on 2 different occasions and you have refused to remove or block the fraudulent information from my credit file. The items are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act 1681c2. Block of information resulting from identity theft ( a ) Block.
