Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Team, I am filing an urgent complaint regarding an unauthorized and fraudulent collection account reported by Credit Management LP on behalf of XXXX XXXX, which has appeared on my credit report. This account is a direct result of identity theft and is causing significant distress to my financial standing. I want to assert that I have never conducted any business or held an account with XXXX XXXX at the address associated with this collection account. This discrepancy indicates a clear case of identity theft, which has unfairly impacted my credit history and overall financial well-being. The presence of this unauthorized collection account has created an erroneous and unjust impact on my credit report. I am formally requesting the immediate removal of this account from my credit report. Additionally, I insist that all collection activity related to this account by Credit Management LP cease immediately. It is evident that the reporting of this account violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) due to its fraudulent nature, and I firmly believe it infringes upon my rights as a consumer. I demand prompt action to rectify this situation and to restore the accuracy and integrity of my credit report. Enclosed with this complaint, you will find supporting documentation that substantiates the claim of identity theft and the erroneous reporting of this collection account by Credit Management LP. I urgently seek your intervention to investigate this matter and ensure the immediate removal of this fraudulent account from my credit report. Additionally, I request your assistance in halting all collection activities associated with this account. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information or supporting documentation. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I eagerly await your prompt resolution and assistance in addressing this issue.

Complaint:
I had lived in XXXX XXXX XXXX, an apartment complex named " XXXX XXXX '' for XX/XX/XXXXyear starting XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 

I had signed the lease with my dad 's name, since I was a XX/XX/XXXXt. We had never missed a payment and was on the verge of leaving to another establishment in XX/XX/XXXX. When we told the apartment management that we are moving, they notified us that we had not given ouXX/XX/XXXX notice. 
So the lady notified that it was fine. However, on our departure, we were mailed a letter. Stating that our security deposit had been forfeited and there was another extra month of rent being charged. There was no reason stating why we were being charged for an extra month of rent. But the cost was not even our rent. It was {$920.00}, which was about {$130.00} cheaper than our normal rent of {$1000.00}. I assumed it was due to theXX/XX/XXXX notice. As a result, I decided to look back at our lease. The lease stated that " release of the security deposit is subject to following provision '', and under it was failure to notify of leave within XX/XX/XXXX. So I again assumed that we were being charged for something that was not on our lease. 

After moving out, I went back to the old apartment complex and decided to see what was happening. This was before theXX/XX/XXXX that the apartment complex had given us to dispute it. I went in, and one of the worker stated that their manager was not here and told me to leave a phone number. I did, but there was no call received. So then the collection was sent to a collecting agency. Of which who we called. The man decided to say that " they can do whatever they want '' and " it does not have to say in the lease ''. The man at this firm stated that I was attacking them, when I was solely stating the fact that " hey the lease says only the security deposit will be forfeited ''. The guy stated over the phone " Your credit will be destroyed, and you'll have to live with bad credit '' and repeated such statement in similar manner multiple times before hanging up the phone. We kept getting collection mails from the company. 

So after the first letter, a dispute letter was sent to the collection agency WITHIN XX/XX/XXXX, but nothing was done about it. It explained the situation as a whole and what we wanted to do about it. I have the receipt of the XXXX document that I have sent to the collection agency of the dispute letter, XX/XX/XXXX letters to be exact. One in the name of my father and one in my name. The letter explained the situation and stated that we were in no fault of the collection. 

Now the collection agency has placed the debt on our credit records as adverse credit.
