Company: Upstart Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2022, I noticed a loan from Upstart was showing on all XXXX credit reports. I instantly reached out to Upstart explaining that I never took out a loan and that it is a result of identity theft. They told me that I would need to submit a report with Identity Theft and a police report which I supplied them with both. After I submitted both the Identity Theft report and Police report they told me that it wasn't enough to close the account and told me that this was my debt and that it would be sent to a collection agency. The fact that they did not accept either reports that they told me I had to do is crazy. This loan was for {$15000.00} that isn't my debt and I did not iniate and is it greatly effecting my credit report. Awful investigating skills they have and awful company to deal with.
