I too, was accused of using anothers card to purchase merchandise. I used my account andwhen I received the merchandise it arrived at my house , with my name on it. However, the second bill went to another address which happened to actually be a relative. When I called Newport News they said the acount was definitely mine (I already had the account) but when I called World Financial Bank to see why my bill went elsewhere, they said the account was in someone else's name and social security number.
I was told to open a similar account and they would transfer the charges to my new account---this just don't sound right. I took their advice and went on the website in an attempt to do this but found out there was no such account for World Financial Bank ,only the account for which I already had. They said they couldn't transfer the amount into this account, as they were different kinds of accounts.
Now I nor my relative know what to do as the account is listed under his credit and fortunately for me he was able to cancel criminal charges after he found out this was linked to my name. But this doesn't solve the fact that this is still on his credit and I can't help but wonder if I am getting unwarranted suspicious side way looks from my relative. I have never done or would I ever do anything like this. I too,was a victim of identity theft and am still battling to get my credit back right.
Is there anyone out there that may be able to offer some advice or solutions because this is stressing me out and I don't know if other situations such as this will come up.
