I called the utility company and they have my name and social security number for this account. It was 120 days behind and then went to collection. They told me to file a police report and fax it to them. I'm wondering what will happen after I do this. Do the police actually help you find out who is using your personal info to open accounts? Will the utility company refuse to take this off of my report until they find out who opened this account in my name? This is a double whammy. Seriously late payments and an unpaid collection. I'm ticked off :-(<BR /><BR />Thanks<BR /><BR />Message Edited by teton on <SPAN class="date_text">08-18-2008</SPAN> <SPAN class="time_text">04:42 PM</SPAN> Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:42:06 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/possible-identity-theft/m-p/321489#M24391 Anonymous 2008-08-18T23:42:06Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/possible-identity-theft/m-p/321541#M24406 <DIV>File a police report and send it to them.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>The police may or may not try to find out who done it.
