Identity theft- No help- Does not deserve one star!

I’m reaching out for assistance as I’m feeling extremely frustrated and unsure how to proceed.

I am a victim of identity theft and recently discovered that I was handed over by FNB for an unpaid loan—despite not banking with them. I reported this ***** in 2024, 2025, and again in 2026, but the issue remains unresolved.

FNB confirmed that an account was opened in 2021 using my details, but they refuse to provide further information, stating I “failed verification.” I’ve been told this account was repeatedly opened and closed, with loans taken out in my name.

I urgently need a formal letter from FNB confirming that this is *****ulent activity, that I reported it, and that my name will be cleared. I also never received any notification before being handed over.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear FNB,

If submitting a written complaint is what it takes to receive meaningful attention, then this situation points to a serious internal failure. I have spent approximately four hours on calls, repeatedly transferred between departments, only to be told the same thing each time—that I allegedly owe money on loans which were *****ulently taken out in my name.

I would like clarity on why I am now expected to wait an additional five days for assistance when this matter was first reported in 2024. Am I to expect yet another delayed response simply confirming that the issue has been “escalated,” without any tangible resolution?

To be clear, I do not owe FNB any money. I require a formal letter confirming that:

  1. FNB acknowledges that *****ulent activity occurred under my identity, and
  2. I hold no liability for any accounts or loans associated with this *****.

It is also deeply concerning that accounts in my name appear to have been opened and closed multiple times, with loans issued and written off. This pattern raises serious questions about internal controls. Additionally, I have repeatedly been told that I “failed verification” when reporting this *****—despite clearly stating that the account in question is not mine. This process is both illogical and obstructive.

At this stage, I expect prompt and decisive action. Please provide the requested confirmation letter without further delay.
