This business has a collection account under my information that resulted from identity theftI tried disputing the account with the credit bureaus and without reaching out to me to obtain proof that the debt is not mine, they refused to remove it from my credit fileWhen they began sending me mail to my current address, which they could have only gotten from the credit bureaus because the person that stole my identity doesn't even know what state I moved to, they were very rude and would not listenI provided them with the person's name and current phone number that opened the account and they said that they would nitrate the informationInstead they added the phone number that I called from to the fraudulent account and began making collection calls to my cell phoneI am pretty sure that they do not have the legal right to do thisI am completely fed up with this company and am considering suing both them and the person that opened the accountThey were so very unhelpful and does not care to resolve the matter of this account not being mine
