Consumer Narrative
I was the victim of XXXX and financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult and several accounts were opened in my name while I was incapacitated. Numerous attempts to have this account removed from all three credit bureaus has been made, but the account holders continue to attempt to collect the debt despite knowing the items are the direct result of XXXX XXXXXXXX and the XXXX of a XXXX individual as documented in XXXX reports. I have had to flee XXXX miles with my XXXX child and these issues are hindering my ability to house my XXXX child and obtain services for him. I have no support system in this area that I was forced to move to for safety and it is imperative these issues be addressed and removed immediately. The proper law enforcement ( XXXX ) forms and FTC reports have been provided, yet the account holders continue to verify the information is " accurate '' and " updates '' it to keep it on the report. Several agencies realize that the accounts are legitimate fraud, and continue to sell or resell the accounts nearly monthly as they know the monies are not recoverable legally. Please remove these accounts from all three reports as I am not legally responsible for them as I was medically incapacitated/under duress during the time of the purchases and can not be held liable, and the documented victim of financial exploitation.
