Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Assuming your question is what can you do, you need to look first at your credit report. If they have reported it on your credit report, or a collection agency has, you can dispute the debt with them. They are required to respond to the dispute (in which you will provide proof of the account being fraudulent), which essentially gets around the issue of them not wanting to discuss the account being fraudulent. You can also contact the Public Utilities Commission and file a complaint - that again will force them to the table to deal with this. Finally, you can file a lawsuit to force them to acknowledge that the account is fraudulent, and cease all collection efforts. That later option is going to require that you hire an attorney as it is not a simple small-claims case. Good luck.
