Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: CL Holdings LLC (CA)

My issue with this debt I believe began in XXXX when I discovered via a credit report that XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts had been started in my name using an address I was no longer living at. I have never had a XXXX XXXX plan and have always been on an XXXX XXXX XXXX family plan with my parents and siblings since I was a teenager. That plan is under my parents ' name and I have never had another cell phone that was not on their plan. 

At some point around this time I also received a call from a debt collector ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX ) trying to collect on this / these account ( s ). When I discovered all this I tried to report ID theft on the XXXX XXXX website, but it said I needed a police report in order to start the ID theft process. When I went to a police station and tried to submit a police report I was told I needed a paper copy of one of my bills that had the account number on it. But as far as I know I had never received any bill because the address used to open the accounts was one I was no longer living in at the time the accounts were apparently opened. 

Subsequently as I was going back and forth between XXXX, debt collector and police department, I saw that on my credit report the debt and the accounts associated with it had disappeared, and there were no outstanding debts listed as being associated with my name or my credit report. Although I had not successfully filed a police report I took this to mean that somehow the companies involved had understood that it was fraudulent debt, and I stopped receiving any contact about the debt from collections. 

However a few years later I once again received contact about what is apparently the same debt from a different debt collector ( JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX ). I first received contact from them via phone on XX/XX/XXXX but I believe they may possibly also have tried to contact me at my parents ' residence via mailmy parents subsequently forwarded several bills to me from the debt collector. The bills I have on hand are dated XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX but they have sent several others as well. At this point I am once again attempting to navigate the process of disputing the debt and having it removed from my credit report.
