    Credit Fraud at Christmas: Gotta love it

    What should I find when I get home today but a Sleep Country credit card in my mailbox? Addressed to Steven (lastname), where lastname = MyRealLastName.

    So I call Sleep Country's retail services provider, CitiFinancial. Apparently Steven has applied to be a co-applicant on MY account. He gave my new (only 2 months old) mailing address and my name. Said he lives in Grisby, Ontario, but didn't specify if he was my spouse or relative. So any purchases he makes on my account I am responsible for.

    No, they cannot close the account because I have not paid off my bed yet.

    No, he has not made any purchases yet.

    No, they cannot REMOVE him from the account for god knows what reason.

    Yes, they are investigating.

    Merry Fricken Christmas!

      Killer customer service ... gotta love it! Sorry to hear about your troubles, hope it all works out!
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

          Didn't he have to sign something when he added himself? I don't think they would or should add anyone to your account without first getting permission from you.

          I'm sure there is a way for you to get out of paying it.

              Your in line for idenitity theft.
              Better get copies of your credit reports now, then send in a certified letter to each saying you need your accounts flaged. (certified gets them moving faster since they are legally on a timeline).
              Alert your bank, and also file a police report. Get the ball rolling now or you will spend countless weeks playing catchup.

                      My Ex-husband SKULL-BUITRE ran off to Colombia with OUR money and screwed me after I helped him build OUR business.
                      He is hiding in Colombia and never paid the settlement $ from our divorce!

                          oh you're not kidding, are you? This may be a stupid question, but how do I get a copy of my credit report?

                                  No not kidding.
                                  Not sure if it works the same way in Canada, but here we use three main credit reporting agencies. In some states you can get a free report every year from each, otherwise you pay a small fee, or you can sign up for one of the websites that offer the reports which is wise, since you will want to monitor everything for sometime.

                                  Even if you flag your account, companies are supposed to contact you directly before opening anything, but often do not do it.

                                  Identity theft is a very big deal and very lucrative since the chances of the thief seeing a day in jail are slim to none and the payoffs are huge.

                                      That's fucked up ask to talk to the manager or whoever it is that you can get high up and stop this before it gets out of control and tell them if they don't do something about it now you will go to the local newspaper and they will do anything to avoid the bad press...

                                          Aw man.. I'm going to call back tomorrow if I don't hear from them by then. The girl said she couldn't talk to a manager until MONDAY, which is entirely unacceptable.

                                                          I would write a letter, send it certified mail, explaining the situation. If they choose to ignore it you will prevail completely. And I would also log time spent working on that problem and bill them appropriately for it.

Ended up spending over 8 months working on it full time. Even close to a year latter he is having to recontact credit agencies as certain items get re-reported.

Ended up spending over 8 months working on it full time. Even close to a year latter he is having to recontact credit agencies as certain items get re-reported.

                                                                                  If these guys are giving you the run around I highly suggest getting a lawyer ASAP. Once a lawyer gets on the case it should get cleared up much faster and save you alot of hassles.

My suggestion is to get all your papers in order i.e Credit Report. Also, to get fast results its always good to tell the CC Company that you will involve the RCMP. That will scare them shitless. Keep escalating until you get the results you want.

He made maybe $300 worth of purchases & his next bill had an account balance of over $1500. They couldn't provide a list of the purchases, but it's already on his credit report as a default. It seems like he talks to a different person every time & has to go through the whole story again. At this point, I think he'll just have to pay it.

                                                                                                                                          Elli be careful, Monday while paying my business a/e bill I noticed a high balance for this month. I had close to 1,000 in charges that I didn?t make. I immediately call them up to report it, the fraud department is looking into, my number was changed, and a new card is being sent out. What I failed to do was thinking this was an isolated case.

                                                                                                                                          Since Saturday, a thief has managed to max all my business cards and a few personal accounts and empty my checking account. I really haven?t had any time to cry since I found out. I was to busy filing a police report, closing checking accounts and opening new ones, requesting new numbers for my ccs and sending out certified letters. My business and personal credit and banking is fuck at the moment. The bank manager drafted a letter saying that my account has been reported to the fraud department as if it is really going to make a difference when someone or business gets a returned check that says the account is closed. So, I need to contact a lot of people.

                                                                                                                                          I did learn that in September/October/November, the thief made little charges and deposits to make sure the accounts were valid and did the big hit now. I feel like the biggest fool right now and please don?t make the same mistake I did thinking that it is one account. If I had thought identity thief when my DSL carrier could not verify my address when talking with tech, I might not be in this mess. Who knows. Good luck

Today on good morning america some nut had a handmade sign saying happybirthday to his 9 yearold son. the sign included the full name of the boy the FULL name of the mother and father and their last names , the hometown they are from and the actual date of birth.... this would be all ya need to really put the screws to little johnny in a few years...

                                                                                                                                                              Having a secondary cardholder added onto a credit card account is a rather simple process, actually. All this guy had to do was grab your account number (most likely off a bill), type up a letter and sign it as your name. Generally, credit card companies simply don't have the resources to cross-check signatures.

                                                                                                                                                              The upside to this process is that the card is only sent to the address of the primary account holder (which is why you received the card). And without the card, he can't use the account.

                                                                                                                                                              Don't worry about changing your credit card numbers (especially not any Visas or Mastercards). Both Visa and MC have a zero liability policy, meaning you're not responsible for any fraud charges.

                                                                                                                                                              Just keep an eye on your statements and if you see anything out of the ordinary, give the CC company a call and have them cancel the card. Any bank can get you a brand new card delivered to a local branch within 2-3 business days.

                                                                                                                                                              And don't worry about identity theft at this point, especially if your credit report is clear. This appears to be a case of a low-level fraud attempt from an uneducated fraudster.

They told me I couldn't. So the falling day I reported my card stolen and told them i didn't want a new card issued. Problem solved.

They flagged my account so if anyone ever trys to get credit they have to call me at home to confirm it is me going for credit before they will allow credit to be approved. It's a pain in the ass but it will deter the fraudster and he/she will move on to easier targets.

(certified gets them moving faster since they are legally on a timeline).

Get the ball rolling now or you will spend countless weeks playing catchup.

                                                                                                                                                                                      The upside to this process is that the card is only sent to the address of the primary account holder (which is why you received the card). And without the card, he can't use the account.

                                                                                                                                                                                      I worked at Visa for 3 years, including a stint in fraud prevention, so feel free to ask any other questions
                                                                                                                                                                                      Thanks for the info, psyko!! Yeah, it's just a sleep country card, and he doesn't have it. I'm sending them registered letters anyway. The equifax site was very good. It wouldn't let me retrieve my info until I told it (multiple choice) which bank I opened my last loan at and what company financed my car. So I think that's locked down pretty good.

                                                                                                                                                                                      How would he get my account number for sleep country? I don't pay it online at all, just in the mail, and all my cheques have arrived promptly. Hm.

The charges on it can be fought.
