Dear Sir/Madame : I am presently residing at Virginia. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX by checking my credit reports, I have learned that an collection amount appeared on my credit reports. I am a XXXX of XXXX, there are XXXX of XXXX of XXXX having the same name and the person who is responsible for that account is NOT me. I have no knowledge of the identity of the person who is responsible for the mentioned account and I do not understand as to why that collection account appeared on my credit report. I realized that collection is for XXXX XXXX which is a power company in XXXX XXXX. I have been living in Virginia since XXXX and this account was established in XXXX in XXXX ( it appeared to be an electric bill ). Clearly, I have nothing to do with this electric bill. 
I am greatly upset about that account since it caused my credit rating tarnished. I am requesting for your help in restoring my excellent credit rating and that delinquency reported to the Credit rating companies be removed. 

Many Thanks.
