<prompt> Human: Tried to dispute them on my credit report but since the information doesnt match their records, they cant wont help me. Do I need to see a professional? Parents are unable to help. Ive had taxes filed in my name in the past and the wonderful state of California seized all my assets in 2012 and Ive been working minimum wage since then. I have about 1000 to my name so I really cant afford to be paying other peoples credit cards, auto loans, and income tax in addition to my own debt. As of now Im deep in collections and they wont budge to help me obviously  <response>: The credit report shows you the truth! At least the truth as they view you. You need to show them they are wrong. The biggest deal is that if incorrect credits are on your report that essentially means either your identity was stolen or someone with the same name is having their information being attributed to you I think more uncommon in cases with multiple illegitimate accounts.If none of the debt is yours you should never pay any of it off. Actually, starting a payment plan on a debt sometimes is used as evidence the debt belonged to you. I am not an expert but I am sure some more folks will stop by with how to look into the specific credit cards and collections.I would start by freezing your credit. This makes it more difficult for people who have been stealing your identity to continue to do so. Then, you should probably file a police report about having your identity stolen. Then, you need to track down each creditor separately and engage their process of disputing the debt. The last step is where I dont know a lot of details but there are many on this sub.I dont know how old you are but if youre over 18 your parents wouldnt be able to help unless they have had experience in dealing with this exact situation. I hope they arent shrugging it off because they caused it. You see a lot of identity theft being tracked down to the parents and it makes me sad every time :.It is going to look bad if you have had this happening for years and you didnt take any action against the false debts. This isnt stuff you can safely ignore and expect to get into a good financial state. Good luck! It will be an uphill battle for you, but if youre in the right it will eventually get sorted out it just takes patience. A bunch of paper work and phone calls.
