Consumer Narrative
On or about XX/XX/2016, I was shopping in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I stopped at the food court and bought a meal. After I finished eating, I went into XXXX XXXX to try on a couple of suits. I didn't see anything I liked or that fit me quite right, so I decided to leave the mall. When I got back to my car, I realized that my wallet was missing. I immediately ran back into the mall and retraced my steps to see if I could find it. I checked the food court and the dressing room where I tried on the clothes. I couldn't find it and no one else had seen it either. I cancelled my bank and credit cards and made plans to go get another social security card and license. Recently, I had my credit pulled because I'm trying to purchase a home and noticed some accounts and inquiries that didn't belong to me and that I didn't authorize to be opened. XXXX XXXX ( from XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX accounts from World Finance Corporation. I never opened those accounts nor did I sign or authorize anyone to open those accounts on my behalf. I believe those accounts are the direct result of me losing my wallet in 2016 at the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I also see that someone applied for a car in my name resulting in various inquiries on my report. I did not apply for a vehicle, nor did I authorize anyone to run my credit and I surly didn't sign for anyone to run my credit. Here is a list of the inquiries that appear on my credit that were not authorized : XXXX XXXX CO, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX The above is a list of all the accounts and inquires that resulted from identity theft. I am requesting that all three of these accounts and all three of these inquiries be removed from my credit reports with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX immediately. I have tried to resolve this matter with these companies as well as went through the normal dispute process offered by XXXX, XXXX and XXXX with no success. XXXX also including a copy of the police report that was filed for the identity theft.
