Pull your credit reports and list every fake entry
Credit fraud is fought on paper. Your credit reports are the source of truth — mark them up once and use them as the master list for every dispute.
Why all three (or all the bureaus in your country)
Lenders only report to some bureaus, so a fraudulent account might appear on one report and not another. You need the full picture.
What counts as fraud
- Accounts (cards, loans, BNPL, mobile contracts) you didn't open
- Hard inquiries from lenders you never applied to
- Addresses, employers or names that aren't yours
- Existing accounts with charges or limit increases you didn't authorise
