After speaking with him a bit longer the call started to get suspicious and I hung up the phone.

A identity theft XXXX report was XX/XX/XXXX. 

I've been contacting all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, Transunion and XXXX ) for removal of this fraudulent account with the supporting documents and they are refusing to properly investigate the fraud. Even with the supporting evidence, I am being told that this is my account per the service provider. I've added fraud alerts to all three credit bureaus prior to this incident and " XXXX XXXX XXXX Services '' did not contact me to verify whether or not I applied for this account prior to approving it. 

On XXXX of my credit reports, the creditor is listed as " XXXX, XXXX '' with a phone number listed as XXXX. I attempted to contact this number only to find out it was linked to a mobile device which was not answered. An inquiry for XXXX, XXXX or XXXX XXXX was never added to my credit report for me to know an attempt at credit was being made against my social security number. 

On my XXXX report, the account is listed with the creditor 's name as XXXX XXXX address as : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Floor XXXX, New York, NY XXXX ( Contact info : XXXX ). 

On my Transunion report, the account is listed with the creditor 's name as : XXXX, address as : po box XXXX, XXXX, UT XXXX and contact info as : XXXX. 

On my XXXX report, the account is listed with the creditor 's name as : XXXX, address as : po box XXXX, XXXX, UT XXXX and contact info as : XXXX. 

I've attempted to dispute these charges on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and will be disputing them again this month. 

The credit reporting bureaus have not attempted to remove this false account nor has the alleged creditor. This is not my account and I did not authorize these charges.
