Re: Not my bill
You should act swiftly and decisively. You need to file an affidavit of fraud with the creditor. Request that they send you the paperwork. If they don't send it to you in a timely fashion, try to find a copy of one on the web. You will also need to follow up with your credit reports to make sure it is either removed or reported properly. If you don't act, this debt will most likely be charged-off and sold to a debt buying company. If you need more info, feel free to call me at 973-659-3400.
