Inaccuracy: Credit Card Fraud From Multiple People

Decent Essays
The nature of the inaccuracy is credit card fraud from multiple people. The person’s identity had been stolen, which caused this misuse of information. They became aware of the situation when the person received several phone calls from credit card companies threating her to pay her dues. She went to a lawyer to explain her situation and help her resolved her issue. An identity theft claim was established to correct the misinformation and to cancel any usage or approval of future credit cards. When the claim was put through processing, the person’s own credit cards were put to a stop as well. The investigation found multiple people from different states using the person’s information for credit cards.
Resolving the issue took about a year
