********** Impersonation

I have received notification from Transunion for the second time that an impersonator using my personal details is trying to open a clothing account under my name. I am very disgruntled at the fact that anyone has easy access to open an account under somebody's name without the use of proper protocol being followed to open an account. This is a violation of my rights as a consumer under the POPI Act and intend on taking further legal action should this continue.

Hello Nokuzozo,

Thank you for your post and for the opportunity to respond.

At Truworths, we view issues of ***** and irregular credit activity in a very serious light. As a result we have stringent procedures in place to ensure that we avoid incidents of ***** as best as we possibly can.

According to our records, the application that was submitted using the identity number mentioned in your post was declined as it did not meet our criteria. We can therefore confirm that no Truworths account had been opened with your identity number.

We trust that we have provided you with sufficient feedback and have adequately clarified your concerns. Should you require any further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us on *** or via email at ***.

Kind regards,
Charmaine
