Fraud On Credit Report. Why Are There Unrecognized Accounts Listed?
Unfortunately, each year, thousands of U.S. citizens become victims of financial fraud and identity theft. Thieves can easily open a credit card or take out a loan in your name if they gain access to just a few key pieces of your personal information, such as your SSN, full name, and date of birth. While most banks have stringent identity verification procedures, some may still allow credit applications to be submitted online without thorough checks. A thief could open a credit card in your name, using your personal information but listing their own mailing address to receive the card, all while you remain unaware that your identity has been stolen.
REASONS FOR LITIGATION
Consumer Attorneys is here to represent and support victims of identity theft. Contact us today if:
Your credit reports list accounts and inquiries that you’re not familiar with, potentially signaling identity theft or reporting errors.
Your identity theft dispute with the credit bureaus was unsuccessful, and you’re seeking reliable credit reporting moving forward.
You noticed unauthorized charges from your credit accounts and want to dispute them.
You’re seeking monetary compensation for the harm and inconvenience caused by the fraudulent accounts on your credit report
Fraudulent Credit Reporting: What You Need to Do to Clear Fraudulent Entries?
Filing an FCRA lawsuit is the most effective way to protect your consumer rights and remove fraudulent items from your credit report. Legal action in federal court is far more reliable than identity theft disputes, which can often be time-consuming or ignored. A successful lawsuit requires the reporting agency to compensate you for emotional distress and financial losses caused by the inaccuracies. These lawsuits are particularly crucial because false information about you can be shared or sold to multiple creditors and reporting agencies, compounding the damage.
HOW IT WORKS
How to dispute fraud on credit report?

Get Your Credit Report
Try to obtain all three of your credit reports and review each of them separately. Indicate all information that you do not recognize, such as accounts, inquires, addresses, names and etc.
2
Step
Schedule a Legal Review and consultation
Our paralegals will review your reports, discuss your situation, help file disputes with credit bureaus, and report identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission.

Step
Report Correction
If the credit bureaus fail to investigate our dispute and FTC report, we will file a federal lawsuit to ensure your reports are corrected. We will also seek compensation for the financial and emotional damages, with no out of pocket costs to you.
Consumer Attorneys can file a lawsuit only if the credit bureaus fail to remove fraudulent entries after the dispute process, or if other circumstances warrant legal action.

Consumer Attorneys doesn't take a dime from its clients until we reach a settlement or a court decision in our clients’ favor.
Am I Entitled to Compensation?
We believe credit reporting companies should be held accountable for the distress they put consumers through. The reputational damage, lost credit opportunities, and non-budgeted spending that can stem from credit report mistakes could make you eligible for compensation. If your rights were violated under the FCRA, you could win actual and/or statutory damages if your claim is successful. Consumer Attorneys will offer a free consultation where you’ll receive an estimate of how much your case is worth.
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT...
Someone else’s files and information and accounts included on your credit report.
Fraudulent credit and checking accounts are being opened using your name.
Erroneous records like incorrect criminal convictions, credit accounts, civil records and etc.

Michael
Georgia
My twin brother stole my identity and took out a car loan in my name it was a nightmare. I had to file a police report and testify against him to clear my name. Thankfully, Consumer Attorneys provided excellent guidance on how to handle the situation, and I even received compensation for all the damage and stress this caused.
Lucy
New York
I found myself in a horrible situation when all my documents were stolen from my car. The next day, I noticed over 50 hard inquiries on my credit reports, and my scores dropped almost 200 points! I reached out to Consumer Attorneys, and after nearly 8 months of filing dispute letters, we managed to have the fraudulent accounts removed. On top of that, I received a significant amount of compensation.
Luis
Florida
One morning, I woke up to find an account on my TransUnion report that I didn t open. It turned out that the credit card had been mailed to someone in a different state. I m not sure if my ID was stolen or if TransUnion made a mistake, but Consumer Attorneys sent them a letter, and the unrecognized account was removed within days. While the account was cleared, I didn t receive any compensation.
