Company: BANK OF THE WEST
State: CA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
Someone opened an account online using my name and social security number at Bank of The West the same bank that my employers payroll account is handled by. Through a credit reporting alert I found that this action had occurred and went to the branch to complain and that's when I was informed it was created online. They showed me the person pretending to be me and was the information they provided and their identification number did not match mine and I was able to prove my identity to them and at that point they said they would close and remove this account due to fraud but they still managed to attach the monetary amount to my social security number and credit report. As I told them at the time I believe that an employee of theirs had compromised my employers payroll account but they did not investigate that angle but after returning to work and asking around if this had happened to other co-workers I discovered that I wasn't the only victim. I want this this removed from my credit profile because this is fraud which we were able to determine with my meeting with the bank representative. This fraud was started on : XX/XX/XXXX and the amount in question is {$740.00}. Bank of The West did not follow up with the removal of this as promised which leads me to this complaint, I have had to file a police report and lock my credit profile.
