*****!

*****ulent account opened in my name. I received an email from Clear Score about an update to my credit score and found that my credit score went down by 29% due to an account opened at Sportscene under TFG with a limit of R25K and R13 669 has already been used on this *****ulent account. Mind you I have never opened a clothing account in my life. I called the forensics department at TFG and spoke to a consultant, when I asked her how the account was opened, she said "Online" so I asked her what the process is to ascertain how they vett applications, and she told me "The system picks up your credit score and if you have a high credit score no FICA documents are required" so basically anyone can open up an account in your name without an ID document and bank statements or payslip. Now I have to go to the police station and open up a case because TFG does not vett its applicants thoroughly.

TFG does not take this seriously because if they did, they'd know how important a person's credit score is. This now impacts whether or not I can get an approved bond or vehicle finance. My credit score has now been heavily impacted by a damn clothing account which I've never app**** for nor ever needed.

PLEASE FIX THIS!
