This account in particular, I have had for like 10 years!
So, we went through the other steps, I got everything sorted that I needed to.
At the end, I asked for the name of the other person on my account. I have literally NEVER heard this name before in my life!
So, the rep made a report about it so they can look into it. I checked my other account that I have with them to make sure no one else has access to it. Luckily they don’t.
So, I called Equifax and had them put a potential fraud alert on my credit for 6 years
so that no one can do this again.
I have no idea if someone actually tried to do it or if it was an error made by my previous provider. Either way, I am pi$$ed beyond being pi$$ed at the moment!
