Credit Card /Reporting Error
Terry,
I have a closed JC Penney account. The past few months I have learned there is another Kathy P in this area (same spelling even). When I checked my credit report it shows an open account for her. That account is active. It is not me and I reported the issue twice to JC Penney and the credit reporting agencies. They agree I have a closed account but insist the report is correct. I even asked them to check the SS# and have had no luck getting this off my report. Fortunately the payments are current but I do NOT have an account. How can I get this corrected please?

Whew, this is a tough one!! If you’ll send me an email to Terry@TerrySavage.com with details of how to contact you (but not your SS number), I will forward to my contact at one of the credit bureaus and see if they can take some steps to fix this. Could you possibly have the same names, including middle initial??
