In 2019, my Mother used my SSN and DOB to get SpectrumTV in my name and didn't pay the bill. I didn't know this until a few weeks ago when it appeared as Collections. I disputed it with Spectrum and they requested a ID Theft form. I filled it out and sent it in. I also found an Xfinity account my sister did in early 2023 that was close to collections. It's a family affair, trust me.
I sent two ID Theft Affidavits off at the same time for the same reason. A member of my family using my SSN unknowingly. Well, Xfinity happily closed the account once they reviewed the documents. Spectrum sent me a letter basically saying since it was a family member then it wasn't ID Theft, that it was a civil matter and recommended the police. I already told them the police refused to investigate.
So. Im.stuck with a Collections that can't be considered ID Theft by Spectrum when Xfinity happily closed theirs. I guess all second rate companies are the same.
I have two options. 1. Pay the settlement they offered ($300.00) but only if I get something in writing for Pay for delete.
2. Go the CFPB/Attorney route, though with the Attorney it may not be worth it for a few hundred bucks.
Today. I'm heading the the Little Bighorn Custer Memorial. I won't let this get me down. I've been waiting 3 months to go!
Unfortunately, unless you decide to press charges against your mom, I don't think you'll get anywhere with spectrum, cfpb, or an atty. I would negotiate pfd.
Ah, the wonders of family dynamics. I have some of this sort also from long ago.
On the plus side, this is a prime opportunity to clarify with family that if they need help, ask for help... so it's possible to properly manage any involved debt/bills and not kill the goose laying the eggs.
Goodwill letters and if possible accompanied with support letters from family.
I'd look more into Rectum. Ooops. I mean Spectrum. They had to show ID to open the account. Go to a local store and see f they can pull up the start of service and who signed the contract. In person does wonders than some voice and the phone. have fun at your event.
