Consumer Narrative
I monitor my credit reports through my XXXX XXXX card which provides me my credit score, and XXXX XXXX. I was notified that a new account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX via email from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I didn't recognize the account, an initially thought it could be related to my new XXXX XXXX account which I opened just a couple of weeks earlier and had yet to appear on my XXXX report. However upon looking up XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX on XXXX, I found that it was most likely a credit card from the company XXXX. I didn't understand what this was, I do not do business with XXXX or own any of their products. It was also a very low limit card ( {$1000.00} ) which didn't make sense to me because I have over {$10000.00} in credit limit through XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I filed a dispute with XXXX and later with Equifax regarding this account, and put a fraud hold on my credit score to stop new accounts from being opened. I don't have an identity theft service like XXXX so I don't know what to do other than dispute the information with the credit reporting agencies and hope new accounts aren't opened.
