It is imperative that you thoroughly investigate this case and ensure that any fraudulent accounts or activities are promptly removed from my child's credit report. Upon discovering this incident, I had no choice but to believe that my child's personal information, including their Social Security number, may have been compromised. I have taken necessary security measures by filing a police report with the [Local Police Department] and contacting the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Identity Theft Hotline at [Hotline Phone Number]. I have also obtained an FTC Identity Theft Affidavit which is attached to this letter. Furthermore, I kindly request that you initiate a thorough investigation into this matter and provide me with a detailed report of all fraudulent accounts associated with my child's name and Social Security number. It is crucial that you remove these accounts from my child's credit report immediately, as they are a result of criminal activity and not authorized by any legal guardian or parent.

This extra layer of security will assist in preventing future fraudulent activity. Furthermore, I urge you to provide my child with a secure credit freeze. This measure will offer an additional level of protection by restricting access to their credit information entirely, preventing any unauthorized attempts to open new accounts in my child's name. I understand that resolving identity theft cases requires a diligent effort from all parties involved. I kindly request that you keep me informed throughout the investigation process. Please provide regular updates regarding any progress made, actions taken, or additional steps that may be required to rectify this situation completely. It is essential that you provide me with a written confirmation once all fraudulent accounts have been removed, the fraud alert and credit freeze are in place, and my child's credit report is accurate and secure. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. The impact of identity theft on a minor can have long-lasting consequences, and it is crucial that we address this issue promptly and decisively. I trust that [Phoenix Arizona Credit Reporting Company or Bureau] will prioritize this case and work diligently until a resolution is reached.
