Since then, XXXX XXXX has been convicted of Theft/Aggravated Robbery and XXXX XXXX has been convicted of theft of Identifying Information ( I dont know either person ) on my behalf. Both individuals have assumed my identity to open several fraudulent accounts, loans, enter into contracts and make payments using my stolen information.

During that time in XXXX of XXXX, I contacted XXXX at the request of my XXXX  loan servicer and disputed the fraudulent credit card account but was told to dispute it with the credit bureaus as never late until their investigation was complete. It is my belief that I was told to do so to stall because in XXXX of XXXX I would be barred from having this account removed.
