State: NJ
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
A XXXX residential utility account # XXXX was fraudulently opened in my name some time around XXXX. 

I dd not sign up for this account, have never paid on this account, and was unaware of this account. 

I received a bill at my home address in New Jersey dated XX/XX/21 from XXXX stating I owed {$480.00}. Repeated attempts to resolve the issue with XXXX were unsuccessful ; REF # XXXX. 

I was given a supervisors number to assist me in resolving the issue as they confirmed they could not verify the account was opened by me not have I even paid on the account and I live in a state where XXXX does not operate. I was given a Supervisors phone number XXXX. The call was never returned and the matter was sold to a collections agency LJ Ross XXXX Acct # XXXX. 

LJ Ross informed me they would hold off on submitting the debt as in collections status until they could investigate the identity fraud claims made ads I was bale to provide evidence that the debt was not mine. Despite providing all requested information and sending a letter asking for verifiable documents substantiating the account as outlined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

This account is now reported as collections status on my credit reports and is having an adverse affect on my credit score. Up to this point I have had an excellent credit rating. 
I have made every effort possible to substantiate that this is a clear and obvious example of identity theft. 

I need assistance to resolve this matter and have this removed form my credit rdeports.

Complaint:
I am having many problems with the 3 Credit Reporting Agencies/Bureaus . They are mixing my file with someone who is deceased. I have disputed this with them for the past year and they have not corrected the accounts. XXXX will not even report a score and Experian sent me a letter saying that they have me as deceased even though they show me making ontime payments on my own accounts and late payments and collections on the ones that are from the deceased person. 
These issues have caused me and my family great difficulties and stress for the past 5 years. I have sent proof of my identity with documentation and pictures with my Florida issue Driver 's License. They have either not responded or ignored my requests or simply told me it's been verified with sending proof or an explanation of how it was verified. Please help me resolve this matter. The pandemic has taken a toll on our family. Both financially and physically and I am unable to apply for a loan because of their inaccurate reporting.

I reached out to TransUnion which directed me to this website and said it would need to be disputed this way.
