Consumer Narrative
I already disputed this account ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and filed a complaint thru FTC last XX/XX/2021 with Ref # XXXX and it was deleted under Equifax & XXXX from my credit reports as a fraudulent account. However, on my updated credit reports XX/XX/2021, a newly added account appeared in my reports under a different name which is XXXX a.k.a XXXX XXXX XXXX ( so it's still XXXX ) and with the same account number XXXX is reporting negative under Equifax. I've attached a copy of my credit report summary showing that it has been deleted and was added back again. I want this to be removed as it is very illegal to add on removed fraudulent accounts. I have contacted them before to demand validation of the said account and have it closed but I have never received any validation. This is a scam and I want this to be thoroughly investigated promptly. This inaccurate account is being reported negative in my credit records again and is hurting my financial stability. I have disputed this and was deleted but they've added it again.
