Complaint:
Im a victim of identity theft and have had a fraudulent personal loan opened in my name with a company by the name of XXXX XXXX/XXXX. I have a fraud alert on my credit file, and have sent them my police report, affidavit from the FTC, and sent them information regarding this being a fraudulent account. The address on file that XXXX XXXX/XXXX have for this fraudulent account does not belong to me, and Ive never resided at the address. This company keep trying to validate this account as being a valid account, because this account was opened in my name which in inaccurate. I didnt consent, authorize, apply, nor request for this fraudulent personal loan to be opened in my name. I have several documentations showing that this is a fraudulent personal loan, but this company keep trying to validate this account with the credit bureaus as if this is a valid account. The address on file is does not belong to me, the account was not authorized to be open by me, and Ive been a victim of identity theft over a year. The XXXX police department deemed this fraudulent account as a fraudulent personal loan, and it is documented with the XXXX police department that, Im a victim of identity theft. Per the FTC if an account is reporting inaccurately or if a consumer is a victim of identity theft the account is suppose to be removed off of a consumers credit file. When a consumer is a victim of identity theft that account that was opened in the consumer name will show that the account is a valid account. Due to the fact the perpertrator who opened up the fraudulent account in the consumers name used the consumers personal information to have the fraudulent account opened. Identity theft has been on the rise for a very long time now, and several consumers are being affected by individuals stealing their personal information using it to open up accounts in the consumers name. Im a victim of having someone steal my personal information and use it for their personal gain which has lead to this issue, Im having with this consumer. Im not going to be liable nor responsible for a fraudulent personal loan being opened in my name as if, Im the one that applied for this fraudulent account. Ive also submitted a FTC/IDENTITY THEFT REPORT as well with the government deeming this account as a fraudulent account, and this account need to be deleted/removed off of my credit files asap. This is not my account, and I shouldnt have to deal with an issue as such. I need assistance with having the account removed off of my credit files asap, and for this fraudulent personal loan to be removed out of my name immediately. 

ATTENTION : THIS IS NOT MY ACCOUNT AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FRAUDULENT ACCOUNT OVER A YEAR NOW ON MY CREDIT FILES! I have fully investigated my rights in this matter. Under the doctrine of estoppel by silence, XXXX v XXXX ( Mo ) XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I may presume that no proof of the alleged debt, nor therefore any such debt, in fact exists. I have copies of the letters, several police reports stating that this is a fraudulent account, and dates prepared to bring to court on XX/XX/XXXX. A  consumer that has been a prior victim of identity theft, has police reports, and evidence of being a victim of identity theft should not be held liable of such DEBT/ACCOUNT per the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Your company have tried to JUSTIFY that this account is VALID and opened in my name with MY CONSENT which is INACCURATE. There was a fraudulent account opened in my name by the perpetrator who had my name, social security card, birthdate, and all of my personal documents that where stolen in XX/XX/XXXX.
