I was alerted by XXXX XXXX that my credit was ran XXXX. I called XXXX and they were quite upfront and said they had already realized that fraud had taken place and I would not be responsible for anything. Someone in a different state with a different name used my social security number. They said that a letter was sent to Equifax to clear the inquiry. I have called Equifax numerous times and have initiated no less than XXXX disputes. They refuse to verify that the information they are reporting is accurate. I am at a loss on how to get this removed and neither company seems to want to look any further into the matter. My credit is important to me.
