Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to formally request a copy of my most recent credit report from you. The FCRA requires that upon request, a credit bureau should furnish an individual with a copy of his credit file after validating the requestor's identity. The documents that verify my identity are attached.


Please send me a copy of my credit file as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Your Signature 
Your Name
