Consumer Narrative
Received a letter in XXXX from American first Finance. The letter stated they were going to deduct the payment out of a debit card ending in XXXX. This was not my card and I did not know this company so I called and told them they sent the letter to the wrong person.The person asked me for personal information. I thought this was a scam so I did not give them the information. the Company did not have my phone number, email. They were also not able to find an account in my name so I left it as a mistake. I then kept getting letters that I owed them money. A report was placed on my XXXX XXXX Credit report. some one obtained a loan for XXXX dollars in my name. after months of contact with the fraud department and employing a fraud agent. they keep saying it was me. Supposedly someone ordered furniture from American freight in Michigan somewhere. The day this loan was taken I was at work. I can prove this. also apparently they picked up the furniture. So the do not know when it went. The company was asked to look into the dept card bank and name. pull security footage and to compare signature on the loan document to my drivers license. They said they would not do this because last time they investigated a claim it was the person to took out the loan. I filed a XXXX report and they sent the contract for a XXXX XXXX. I gave them the account number on the letters. They are not even looking at the claim or the reports. it is clear who ever did this paid XXXX dollars. how did they pay. who XXXX the debit card. what phone number and email address do they have. you can trace my car and phone and it will prove I have never been at American fright. Also I would never take out a loan of this type. I just bought a 23 truck and paid cash to avoid interest. look at my credit report I do not take out loans. I am retired and paying off any loans I have. please help to clear my name. this has been going on too long.
