Consumer Narrative
someone I know has taken my social security number and is trying to open bank accounts, and credit cards as me. she has also take cards i already have and called the credit card companies saying the card has been stolen and they are changing the addresses to her address and sending the new cards. i realized this when i went to use a card and it was declined and i called the company and they said we are sending a new card to a new address. the phone number was also changed on the account so all notifications go to her cell phone. i have frozen my credit on all 3 places but there are still accounts open that are in my name that aren't mine and it's a little overwhelming to call them all and get this straightened out. the fact she keeps doing it is even more frustrating, the police have been notified but there wasn't enough information for them to do anything, at least that's what they said. she tried opening a bunch of accounts in XX/XX/2022 and i have a list on my XXXX account that they couldnt flag as fraud and close because accounts were active with those addresses. she has also tried to open accounts in my son 's name and im worried she may have also tried to get my mother, and might go after my other son and husband, also who knows who else she has been doing this to...
