Id Theft Accounts - South Carolina Consumers

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

Account #1:

"(In) July 2001, I was the victim of identity theft. Six fraudulent applications were submitted to various credit card companies, and two fraudulent accounts were actually opened - (a bank) and (a wireless company). The (wireless company) issue was quickly resolved. By the time I was alerted that applications were being obtained in my name -- another card issuer) called to verify information with me prior to issuing a card - (the bank) had issued an account and authorized purchases. I contacted (the bank) - who was given to me by the Credit Bureau (as one of the six applications made) -- to notify them that the account was obtained fraudulently. I was transferred to the Fraud division, reported the incident, and thought the matter resolved. In 2002, I began to receive calls from two collection agencies regarding this account. In order to try and resolve this matter, we have for the past two years attempted to communicate with (the bank), to no avail. We have provided the following documents to (the bank) and (the two collection agencies) 1. Letter of explanation that this is a fraudulent account; 2. Copy of the filed police report detailing identity theft; 3. Notarized affidavit. I would like written communication from (the bank) that this matter is resolved, and I am not responsible for this debt. I want this account closed, and no future accounts opened by this company using any of my personal information. I would like confirmation that my credit report has been cleared of this matter. Thank you." (This story posted online on 04/05/04)
