I am a victim of identity theft. I recently learned that my personal information was used to open an account at your company.

I also request that these companies absolve me of all charges on the account, and that you take all appropriate steps to remove information about this account from my credit files. Please investigate this matter, close the account and absolve me of all charges, take the steps required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and send me a letter explaining your findings and actions.
