Consumer Narrative
There are several collection accounts on all 3 of my credit reports that are fraudulent and a result of identity theft. I've disputed these accounts multiple times but they have yet to all come off my reports. Can someone please help me get these collection accounts that are not mine off as they are hurting my credit? My wallet was stolen on the city bus about a month before the date on the 1st of these collection accounts. I '' m assuming that these accounts are from whoever stole my wallet and has my identification. These accounts are all from Wakefield & Associates and they are all for several thousands of dollars. I really need help removing these accounts and I'm not sure what else I can do because I've already reached out to both the creditor and all 3 credit bureaus.
