I also sent documentation to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. XXXX XXXX 41 days later.is making me liable for the fraudulent account and refuses to provide a letter to remove the hard inquiry in my report. XXXX, XXXX and Equifax are not willing to fix my credit ( eliminate the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and hard inquiry ), after over a month of being alerted to the fraud, and sent all documentation. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, after talking to the credit Bureaus only fraud alert is as far as they are willing to help me with. I have not only been a victim of cyber crime but also of the Institutions I now depend on for help ( XXXX XXXX, Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ).
