<prompt> Human: I applied for a job with a Federal Agency recently and decided to do a background check on myself. I checked my credit score for the first time Im 23 and discovered a bunch of unpaid bills that have gone to collection over the years, directed at me. The problem is, theyre all meant for my father. We share the exact same name, with me being a Jr, and through whatever mix up caused by him, be it intentional or not, Im stuck with this on my credit report. Do I have any chance of getting this off of my credit report, and how do I go about that?  <response>: be it intentional or not, Im stuck with this on my credit reportWell intentional or not matters. If your father intentionally took out credit in your name, thats a crime and youre going to have to involve the police to fix it.If its some sort of mix up, you can contact the credit reporting agencies and dispute it.
