Consumer Narrative
On XXXX I contacted XXXX to dispute XXXX fraudulent collection accounts under my name that are currently affecting my credit score negatively. Those accounts are not mine and I have not inquire services from those companies. I also contacted the collection agency AFNI , INC, to report the accounts and remove it from my files. They created a report and communicated that they will contact XXXX, mobility to report the account that currently owes {$2300.00} and urged me to contact XXXX as well, and so I did. I have also contacted XXXX XXXX to report the fraudulent account that currently owes {$5100.00}. In the past I have been a victim of identity theft and have had multiple fraudulent accounts opened under my name. I have tried getting a police report for this and they stated that because there was no physical damage or visible crime, they were unable to provide a report. Therefore, I am requesting assistance and would like to issue a report.
