I have been a victim of identity theft and have since engaged XXXX to monitor for account openings, financial activity, etc.. using my SSN and/or name. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received multiple notifications from XXXX stating that checking/savings accounts had been openend in my name using my SSN. I quickly contacted Wells Fargo, provided all identifying information and offered to go to a branch and provide my ID and SSN cards as proof. I was informed by XXXX that XXXX checking accounts ( with XXXX debit cards ) and a savings account had been opened using my SSN and name however the ID info was different. I informed XXXX that I did not open the accounts and they had been opened fraudulently. I requested the acocunts be CLOSED IMMEDIATELY and was subsequently told that the accounts can not be closed until I obtain a police report and complete a Wells Fargo form. These accounts are opened in MY NAME AND MY SSN but I can not close them without taking off from work and going to file a police report, then having to take off AGAIN to go pick up the police report and submit along with the Wells Fargo form so they can conduct an investigation before the accounts can be closed. This is Ludicrous! I have had a mortgage with Wells Fargo for several years and they can clearly see I live in XXXX yet they knowingly opened accounts in XXXX without properly verifying the identification of the individual because if they would have verified the ID they would have realized it did NOT MATCH what they had on file for me! Wells Fargo has failed XXXX and XXXX responsibilities and I am being punished for their lack of concern for these policies!
