This is a violation of FCRA and it's causing this account to illegally re-aged. I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid.

Someone other than myself signed a Private loan for a second year however several key information items were incorrect in the loan application including misidentifying my wife 's name, email address along with signature dates. The loan application was electronically signed with my son 's name and me as co-borrower. I filed an identity theft report with the XXXX County Police who were unable to investigate as too much time had past between the filling of the complaint and the original loan. I became aware of the loan only after 3 years and six months from granting and paying XXXX University as the loan was in deferment until the forecasted graduation date plus six months. The loan has been in collection for over 7 years ; is now charged off but listed as a charge off against my credit score. As this is the result of ID theft and the creditor failed to establish liability within the statue of limitations in Virginia I have repeatedly ask each of the credit reporting agencies to remove from my record.
