Description

This Letter to a Credit Reporting Company or Bureau regarding Identity Theft of Minor helps a minor or the minor's parent correct fraudulent information in the minor's credit reports. In order for such information to be blocked on the credit report, a minor or the minor's parent must notify consumer or credit reporting companies of fraudulent information that is not related to any transaction that the minor made or authorized. Dear [Credit Reporting Company/Bureau], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to report an incident of identity theft involving a minor in Puerto Rico. It has come to my attention that someone has fraudulently acquired personal and financial information belonging to [Minor's Full Name], a resident of Puerto Rico. I kindly request your immediate assistance in investigating and rectifying this matter. As Puerto Rico is an integral part of the United States, I wish to bring forth the issue of identity theft concerning a minor residing on the island. The minor, [Minor's Full Name], is a [Age]-year-old resident of [City/Town], Puerto Rico, and holds a valid Puerto Rico identification card. This incident of identity theft has the potential to jeopardize the minor's future financial well-being, creditworthiness, and overall future opportunities. The following are the details of the fraudulent activity that has taken place: 1. Unauthorized Credit Accounts: It has come to my attention that the perpetrator has opened unauthorized credit accounts using the minor's personal information, including their Social Security Number and other identifying details. These accounts have generated significant debts, which could negatively impact the minor's credit history. 2. Misuse of Personal Information: The fraudulent individual has misused the minor's personal information to engage in various financial transactions, such as making extensive purchases, opening new lines of credit, and potentially even obtaining loans. These activities were conducted without the minor's knowledge or consent. 3. Erroneous Credit Reporting: As a result of the identity theft, inaccurate and damaging information may be present on the minor's credit report, thus affecting their ability to access credit later in life. It is essential that the credit reporting company thoroughly investigates these discrepancies and takes appropriate measures to rectify any erroneous reporting. I kindly request that you undertake the following actions to address this identity theft incident promptly: 1. Initiate a Fraud Alert: I urge you to immediately place a fraud alert on the minor's credit file, notifying potential creditors of the fraudulent activity and prompting them to verify the identity of anyone attempting to access credit in the minor's name. 2. Investigation: Please conduct a thorough investigation into these fraudulent accounts and transactions, providing the necessary resources and expertise to identify the perpetrator and hold them accountable. 3. Correct Erroneous Information: Once the investigation is complete, I kindly request that you update the minor's credit report to reflect the fraudulent accounts as fraudulent. Additionally, ensure that any negative implications on the minor's credit history are removed entirely. 4. Extend a Security Freeze: In order to prevent further unauthorized access to the minor's credit, I request that you extend a security freeze on their credit report. This will discourage any potential creditors from opening new accounts without proper authorization. I understand that this may require further documentation from us to assist you in resolving this matter effectively. I am prepared to provide all the necessary supporting documents, including the minor's identification card, relevant financial statements, and any other documentation you may request. The incident of identity theft involving a minor in Puerto Rico emphasizes the need for urgent action from your esteemed organization. I believe that, with your expertise and dedication, we can rectify this situation and ensure that the minor's future financial prospects remain untarnished. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. Please provide me with confirmation of receipt of this letter and the subsequent steps you will take to resolve the issue. Together, we can protect the minor's financial integrity and bring the responsible party to justice. Thank you for your cooperation and prompt assistance. Sincerely, [Your Name] Other types of Puerto Rico letters to credit reporting companies or bureaus regarding identity theft of a minor could include: 1.
