Re: [The account number associated with the debt]
Dear Sir or Madam:
The debt in question is not mine. I am a victim of identity theft. An identity thief opened up this account using my personal information without my permission and accrued the debt you have been contacting me about. Enclosed is proof of my identity and a copy of my Identity Theft Report.
In accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I am requesting that you to stop collection proceedings against me and stop contacting me about this debt. I also request that you notify [the original creditor] to inform them that this debt is the result of identity theft.
[Here, you can explain some details. If you choose to do this, be sure to note the dates and amounts of fraudulent transactions.]
Please reply to this letter, explaining what actions have been taken to:
- Inform [the creditor] that the debt is the result of identity theft
- Stop collection proceedings against me
- Stop reporting information about the debt to credit reporting companies
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards,
[Your Name]
