I may have been a victim of identity theft coz when I acquired my credit report last month, I was shocked to find out that there were unknown addresses there that I never lived in, accounts that I never opened, and inquiries I never made. So I have contacted the creditors to make them know of the breach but they are requesting that I fill out a full Packet to show cause in order for them to cease reporting to my credit due to this possible identity theft. I also found this account that I believe not mine:Acct name: ******************************************* SERVICE (Original Creditor: ALLSTATE FIRE CASUALT IN. CO)acct no. 2316****date opened 10/01/2022 balance $472.00 I am not liable for this debt and I do not have a contract with:Company: CREDIT CONTROL SERVICE Address: ******************************* Tel No: ************** Police Report and FTC Affidavit are attached with this complaint together with dispute letter sent to the bureaus and the authorization for release of information. I also filed complaints thru CFPB. Please delete this account from my ********************** report at once. Any questions or concerns I can be reached at **************************************************************************** and email at [email protected] need a response from the company.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date.
