Fifth Third Bank Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Fifth Third Bank Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement Ohio

I filed an Federal Trade Commission report and affidavit and police report of being a victim of identity theft, and all bureau 's except for - blocked the concerning information. Fifth Third Bank continues to report on my credit report, although it was not reporting at one point. I do believe my attorney stated once something is removed it is illegal for it to be put back on, well it 's been put back on and I am tired of fighting with this. This is the last fraudulent account reporting and if they do n't remove it I am going to have to sue them because it is keeping me from living my life and moving on from the horrors of being a victim of identity theft. It even kept me from licensure for my dream job because I do n't have a perfect credit file! For them to come back and claim they investigated as if I did n't file all the paperwork which makes them by law have to remove the file and block it, is an absolute smack in the face and I am tired of it. Remove it now and MAYBE I wo n't sue for damages because it has kept me from getting a house now and a new car, and kept me from getting a job -! this is ridiculous to get something done with this company, every other company included in the affidavit removed the info and has found that the accounts were opened fraudulently during a legitimate investigation in a suitable amount of time. You ca n't tell me - other company investigations found fraudulent activity and fifth-third actually investigated anything. The account itself is registered to an address in - where I have never even lived!
