<prompt> Human: Hello, I figured this would be the best place to ask for advice on this situation. My boyfriends Father, who shares the same name with him opened up 2 different utility accounts that owe massive amounts of money in my boyfriends name without my boyfriends knowledge while he was living with him in 2015.My boyfriend had no idea about this until this week when he checked his credit and saw that it was very low because of 2 accounts being in collection that just opened this May of 2017. One is for an electric bill for 1,600.00 and the other is a cable bill for 500.00. For some background on his Father. His father is bankrupt and has very poor credit, and hes a very shady guy. They do not have a good relationship.My Bf is filing reports with Equifax and filing a report on his Father. We just want to know if theres anything else we can do since his credit is being damaged by bills that his father opened with his SS number.I apologize if this is all over the place, if you have any questions, please comment and I will try and answer ASAP.We just want to know what we can do to resolve this as fast as possible because of how damaging it can be.  <response>: report as identity theft and fraud. make sure to file a police report.
