Complaint:
There is an account on my credit report from XXXX XXXX. I never opened an account with XXXX XXXX. After speaking with someone when they attempted to collect, I was told this was a conversion from a XXXX XXXXXXXX Card that I had for XXXX XXXX. This card had a {$0.00} balance on it when it moved from XXXX XXXX as it was never used, and the replacement card was apparently sent to my old address at which point a balance appeared. 

So I have no idea where the balance on the card came from as I never had the replacement card sent to me at an address I could receive it, I did not enrol the card in any sort of payment or online portal ( as I was told by collector was done ) or anything of the sort. In fact, I had no idea the issuer had even changed.
