Consumer Narrative
I am a victim of identity theft. Eastern Account System I is reporting a {$55.00} collection account tied to XXXX XXXX that I did not authorize or open. I discovered this account in XX/XX/year>XXXX while reviewing my credit report. Although it shows as paid, it should not exist on my report at all, as it was created fraudulently. I never received services from XXXX, never owed this debt, and never consented to any collection activity. I submitted an official FTC Identity Theft Report ( # XXXX ), which includes this account. Reporting this debt violates 15 USC 1681b ( no permissible purpose ) and 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), which excludes identity theft accounts from consumer reports.
