Report this to the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C., web address: www.ftc.gov. Call in a complaint to get things started quickly.
Another fine legacy from the Nineties is the practice of big business putting morons, illiterates, felons and other charming types on the company front lines manning the phones.
Think I'm kidding? Some travel companies actually employ prisoners to book tours. Slave labor with the advantage of knowing who is home and who isn't. Comforting.
Point being you get nowhere talking to these idiots who are however just bright enough to be dangerous. Though unhelpful to you they are mighty good at 'taking notes' on your statements so they can quote them out of context and use them against you. Yeah, it sounds paranoid I know but this is standard biz practice. The Nineties was a casting call for every lowlife thug to come up from the ground and prey upon consumers. Remember "The Era of the Customer" a few years back? What a joke.
Paranoid indeed, that's why these goons are harassing your son over a debt not his for a card he neither posseses nor for which he applied.
File complaints with your state banking commission and state attorney general as well. The pen is mightier than the sword and nothing gets results like a well placed letter.
You are experiencing a ruse practiced from the top down during the last lice-ridden decade. "Let's spin it and see if they fall for it" was one descriptive phrase for this trick played by stone-heart prosecutors who would frame their children to advance their poxy careers.
Slap together some garbage case which the hapless accused can't afford to defend. The defendant pleads to lesser phony charges rather than defend against more serious phony ones. The prosecutor cuts another notch into his overly long belt, the privatized prison gets more meat to rent to corporate slave masters.
Citibunk is perhaps pulling this stunt on thousands of unsuspecting people. Hey, falsely accuse a few hundred thousand people of owing a small debt and more often than not they'll pay to avoid hassles. Fattens the bottom line. This is why CEO's like Citibunk's recently departed Sanford Weil pull down tens of millions of dollars in salary - on your twenty bucks and defamed credit rating. Nice crowd.
Dump a paper blizzard on these yellow snowmen and you'll cost them far more than the twenty bucks they are trying to extort from you. It won't stop them from doing this to others. Corporate cynics know the cost of paying penalties pales when compared with what can be obtained from those who never complain. This will however stop them from doing this to you.
Stick around, you'll read of more of this and other inventive methods encouraged during the last sleazebag decade now being perfected during this one. Methodically, Keyser Soze
