Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

Essentially, what you are claiming here is that someone stole your identity and opened a credit account(s) in your name without your consent, which is a major felony in the State of WI. Since the one account which you know about here could very well be the "tip of the iceberg," (many more could eventually turn up), you should not hesitate to go to the police and swear out an affidavit of forgery for your own protection, to say nothing of your need to get the erroneous collection off your record. Unless you are willing to do this, most people examining this situation would conclude that you were either a party to the fraudulent account and that the account was opened either by you or with your consent. Filing a police report should not cost you anything, except a very small copying charge to get a duplicate for your file.
