Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft
Consumer Complaint: I am a victim of ID theft. I have been battling this ID theft since XXXX. My credit report stays frozen to prevent new fraud, however I suspect for this type of service XXXX does not actually check credit reports to authorize service. On XX/XX/XXXX I mailed my standard fraud packet to Enhanced Recovery, which I am very accustomed to doing as new utility and medical accounts pop up on my credit report from time to time. This was sent via USPS to there XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Florida. On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed this account was still on my credit report and I had not received any communications back from ERC. I placed a phone call, explained the nature of my call and provided the representative with my full social security number. He located my account and confirmed the balance was for a collection account outside of my home state of California. I explained that I had sent out a fraud packet and expected this account to be swiftly removed from my credit report. He deferred me to XXXX and stated they would not remove anything from my credit report without specific instructions from XXXX. I advised him that Enhanced Recovery is the entity on my credit report and not XXXX, and therefore the company breaking the law and perpetuating abusive consumer practices is ERC. Not intending to argue, I reached out to XXXX as advised by the Representative at ERC. He even provided me with XXXX account number as XXXX. I explained to the XXXX representative my situation, and he proceed to attempt to look me up using the alledged account number provided to me by ERC. He stated he was not able to find any account using the information provided. I advised him ERC found the account using my social security number, and he then proceeded to search using my social. He still found nothing. Very frustrating, as I had advised him I am in the middle of refinancing my mortgage to take advantage of the historic low rates, and I may be losing out on this opportunity thanks to there complete and utter incompetence.
