Discover Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Discover Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement California

I am a victim of identity theft, and have been battling creditors since - 2015. My son, - - - used my personal information to open up several credit cards under my identity. The fraud was exacerbated by the fact that at the time he lived with me and my wife at - - - -, Ca -. On - - 2015 I filed a formal police report and had a Fraud Affadavit notarized as recommended by both the - Police Department and the Federal Trade Comission. I notified all creditors with claims against me of the facts and thus began my lengthy ordeal navigating this mess. I understand things are confusing as we both have the same name and the statements were sent to my mailing address, but this was all perpetrated by my son whom has confessed to it and takes responsibility. I have done alot of research and consulted with several consumer finance attorneys and understand that as a Victim of Identity Theft I have several rights and protections under both state and federal laws. Out of all the creditors only Discover Bank has brought legal actions against me, and also after being formally notified and being provided copies of both the law enforcement report and the fraud affidavit continue to disregard the facts set forth in this case. The willfull negligence and blatant disregard of the facts are concerning as they continue to find me liable for this fraudulent debt, and continue to pursue collection activity in violation of my rights under the Justice for all act and the protections handed to me by Ca Penal Code Section - and Civil code - - -
