Consumer Narrative
Someone had access to my Social Security number and used it to either open a line of credit or a fraudulent collection company trying to scam some money out of people. I have never opened an account with XXXX for the alleged cable/cellular service. Someone has my Social Security number and used it, and is trying to steal money. Im not exactly sure what is really going on here. This is on my credit report now and shows up as a collection account. So the name of this collection company is amsher collection services and the amount that they are alleging that I owe is precisely {$650.00}. I have never received a bill or statement an email or anything from XXXX or from this collection agency. I have already disputed this issue twice with the credit bureaus. This is definitely fraud.
