Consumer Narrative
The company has failed to verify or prove to me that this debt is mine and to even indicate I have ever allowed XXXX XXXXXXXX to open an account under my name with an address I've never been associated with before nor did I have any of these companies any written nor verbal authorization to open an account falsely under my name. I have not lived in XXXX for nearly a decade as I've been living in XXXX. Yet XXXX XXXX and this collection agency is falsely trying to collect a debt that isn't mine and was resulted from identity theft. It's the company responsibility to ensure that the account was opened under my authorization only and not without my knowledge or approval.
