Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Gurstel Law Firm, P.C.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I'm tired of dealing with explaining my situation over, over, over again. 
This started with someone illegally opening a credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and then selling it to XXXX XXXX XXXX who in turn sold it to Gurstel Chargo at XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX  could not collect on a debt that was created illegally with identity theft.

I have sent over my police and FTC report over 20 times by mail and through the CFPB to them both.

All they do is verify by XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and robo agents. 
Not one individual has ever looked at my police and FTC report let alone looked up the FTC site or called the police dept to verify my filings.

I even signed a theft application for verification with the Nevada State Attorney general office. Which was signed by the state representative who verified my ID and SS card.

So I will have to start litigation against XXXX XXXX XXXX.If this account is not removed from my credit report immediately.

This should immediately be removed from my credit reports and all files destroyed. 
Contact XXXX XXXX XXXX and for any info.Gurstel Chargo at XXXX I'm tired of giving out my personal info and I don't trust anyone. 
Provide me with the Forward Flow agreement and the Chain of Assignment for this account. 
I have been dealing with idiots who dont know how to do there job correctly. 
Cease and desist all attempts to collect on this debt. Only contact me with a update on when this will be removed from my credit reports
