Sometime on or about XX/XX/XXXX, the date I am not sure about a person or persons unknown to and without my express permission opened a credit card account with Barclaycard and charged items to that card in the amount of {$5000.00} or more. Upon a routine credit check it was discovered that this card on my credit report.

After speaking with the fraud department at Barclaycard I was assured that this was indeed an act of fraud perpetrated against me.

Subsequent to that I never heard again from Barclaycard and thought the matter closed. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX in the amount of {$5400.00}. I notified them of my dispute of the debt by certified mail and never received verification of my debt as requested.
