Consumer Narrative
A couple months ago someone found my information and tried opening MULTIPLE CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTS. I had followed up with each XXXXne of the companies ( listed below ) and called them to report as fraud and each company said they would report it to the credit bureau and get it OFF my credit report, each company also said it was marked as fraud and had been closed. It has been more than 30 days and they are all still showing up. I have since then put a freeze on each one of the credit bureaus- but I want these off of my credit report so it stops affecting my credit score.
