Dear sir / madame
I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT IN MY NAME TO YOU. after numerous letters and calls I am still showing false debts and credit agreements with you company I was a lodger at XXXXXXX I moved out of this address on 09/11/2006 and was in working abroad on the the 13/11/2006. Working for my then employer and was there for one month and your company set up these accounts you then passed my details to debt collection agency and is showing bad debts on my credit file / history. This is a fraudulently obtained credit in my name I can only assume my then landlady Miss XXXXXX Used my identity to obtain credit from yourselves these accounts were set up on the 15/11/2009 this is the information i would like to know
1 How was these accounts set up phone post email?
2 What proof of any credit agreements have I have meant to have signed?
3 is there any phone recordings placing orders recorded ( which I'm sure you keep for training purposes / fraud prevention)
4 Delivery address / dates and signature of items placed.
I want this cleared up soon as possible and my credit history repaired.
I wholeheartedly hope you seek a criminal conviction for fraud over Miss XXXX to recoup your loses. these are not the only accounts that she has obtained in my name. I have visited the police over these accounts and sought legal advice and the response is that you must contact the police and press charges due to the fact the money is owed to yourselves even the my identity was used.
Yours Sincerely
