FTC Identity Theft Report

An FTC Identity Theft Report documents that you reported identity theft through the federal reporting process. Many consumers include it in bureau packets for FCRA 605B-related requests.

What it is

The report is generated through the FTC’s IdentityTheft.gov workflow. It describes the theft you reported and can support your request that specific report information resulted from identity theft.

How it is used

Include a copy in your dispute packet with your cover letter and fraudulent item list. The accounts and inquiries in your letter should match what the report describes.

Why consistency matters

  • Item list matches report allegations
  • Dates and creditor names align with report excerpts
  • Identity and address documents match the consumer name on the report

Common mistakes

  • Submitting an incomplete report
  • Disputing items not described in the report
  • Omitting the report from the packet entirely
  • Using outdated report versions after new fraud appears

Prepare your identity theft dispute packet with organized report findings and documentation.
