We will also request that any impacted consumer credit bureau be notified that the account is under investigation for identity theft. If Comcast concludes that the suspect account was the result of identity theft, Comcast will request the removal of the suspect account by the consumer credit bureaus from your consumer credit report.

 

Additional Resources

In addition to submitting an identity theft claim to Comcast, you can report identity theft at IdentityTheft.gov, the federal government’s one-stop resource to help people report and recover from identity theft. The site provides step-by-step advice and helpful resources like easy-to-print checklists and sample letters. 

To report fraud, scams, or bad business practices, consumers should instead go to ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
