Anonymous Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 In 1999 I was sixteen and unemployed. My parents handed me a Shell card for gas. I might have used the card maybe once, if even at all. The card had my name on it, but I was under the impression that it was still a part of their account and I really didn't have to worry. I didn't apply for the thing and I never saw a bill.I got my first credit card this summer and have had no problems. I got a letter in the mail cancelling my card after two months saying I had been delinquent in payments with a past card. I got a free credit report and it said that the Shell account had been transferred to recovery. I had no idea that the Shell card would even be on my credit report! I mailed Equifax disputing it two weeks ago.I applied for another card through a different company and was rejected for the same reasons. How can I get this whole mess cleared up?

kimber6337 Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 Same problem here with Wells Fargo and my MIL's account. Dispute the account RIGHT NOW during CHOD with NOT MY ACCOUNT. Chances are it will be removed. If its not, bump the post and we'll go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
