Consumer Narrative
I was a victim in the Equifax information breach where my information was stolen by XXXX knows who and ever since I've had random charges and accounts opened. I've attempted to reach out to one of these companies in particular who will not work with me and understand and at the time I did not know my information had been stolen from Equifax at that point. Now after researching I've discovered that that is the case and I have the paperwork to show as well. I need to have national credit adjusters that shows as a write off removed from my credit report immediately as I have stated over and over and are you the fact that it is not mine and never was and I have no clue where this company even received my information from. I've never done business with them or given anybody permission to have my information so I don't know what it's even comes from but now I do.
