Id Theft Accounts - Pennsylvania consumers

From: http://www.bbbonline.org/idtheft/stories.asp

Account #1:

"(The company) alleges an (over $ 17,000) balance on a (bank) credit card. In July of 2000, (the bank) contacted me for suspected identity theft which proved to be the case. The theft of my personal information was reported to multiple credit bureaus and all was resolved until (a collection agency) began to contact me. Today (the collection agency) threatened to put a lien against me. I contacted (the bank) and confirmed that they are aware of the identity theft and they show no open balance associated with my personal information. (The bank) suggested that we contact the Better Business Bureau, because they did not know who (the collection agency) was and were concerned that this was a case of extortion. There is no balance, there will be no payments, I want to receive no more calls, but most importantly, I want my name cleared. Please contact me when this has been resolved. I want my credit restored and no further contact from (the collection agency)." (This story posted online on 04/06/05)

Account #2:

"This Account is a fraudulent account. I have never lived at the addresses associated with this account. I never opened this account or authorized anyone to open it in my name. This is a case of identity theft. During the time period of this account I was living in (another area of the state) under state parole supervision. I had a credit report run when I was trying to purchase a home for my family; this account showed on my credit report. I contacted the company and their response was that they used a telephonic id check and that I am responsible. You can't positively verify someone's ID over the phone. Any male who finds my personal information can (and obviously did) pass a telephonic id check. I have asked them to provide me with proof of the person's identity. While this fraudulent account remains on my credit report I can not provide myself and my family with a home. Any help you can provide me with on this issue would be greatly appreciated."
