Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: XXXX discovered a PayPal credit card had been opened using my maiden name ( which I have not used since XXXX ) and used an old address I haven't lived at for at least 20 years fraudulently. I immediately contacted PayPal and they sent me forms to complete. At that time they also updated the account to include my correct address and last name so they could get the forms to me. I returned the forms to them but continued to get collection calls. I called them again and they told me I had to file a police report and send them that info, which I did, several times. My numerous attempts to get this account off my credit reports all come back to them saying it's an accurate account. This is preventing me from getting a good rate on a mortgage. I've been working very hard to improve my credit for the past 7 years and would not have opened this account in the first place. It seems like whomever opened the account made payments on it at some point making it look like a legit account. PayPal /sync bank is unable to find any signed credit application from me further proving this was opened fraudulently! Please help!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Consumer Complaint: I was added as an authorized user on this JCPenney credit card on XX/XX/2022. I was told it would take 1-2 statement periods for the account to reflect on my credit report. I have spent hours on the phone with JCPenneys as well as XXXX. This account is not showing on any of my 3 credit reports. I was told that this has happened in the past and they dont have a resolution other than to close my account and re open a new one after several months. This is inaccurate reporting and is against the law. My information needs to be accurately reported or I will seek legal advice against JCPenney ( synchrony Bank ).
