TWC account disabled for fraud after setup - What to do?

Has anyone else had their account disabled because of fraud? I just set up my service yesterday and now it's closed. I haven't even gotten any notices about it yet. I'm trying to call them but they're not open yet. This is so frustrating! What should I do when I finally get through to someone?

This happened to my cousin last year. Turns out someone had stolen his identity and filed for benefits in his name. Might be worth checking your credit report just in case!

Identity theft is a real issue. Checking your credit report is a great preventive measure.

When you get through to someone, make sure you have all your documents ready. They'll probably ask for ID, proof of address, and maybe even employment history. Better to be over-prepared than under!

Thanks for the tip! Do you know if they accept digital copies or do I need to have everything printed out?

In my experience, they prefer physical copies. But it doesn't hurt to have digital backups too. Better safe than sorry!

Here's what you need to do when you get through: 1. Stay calm and polite. The person on the other end isn't personally responsible for your situation. 2. Explain that you just set up your account and haven't received any fraud notices. 3. Ask them to explain exactly why your account was flagged for fraud. 4. Request a detailed list of any documents or information they need from you to resolve the issue. 5. Get a reference number for your call and the name of the person you spoke with. 6. Ask about the timeline for resolving the issue and when you can expect your account to be reactivated. 7. If possible, try to get an email address where you can send any required documents. Remember, document everything! Good luck, OP. We're all in the same leaky boat here. πŸš£β€β™‚οΈ

We should start a support group at this point. "Fraudulently Accused Anonymous" πŸ˜‚

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U

Pro tip: if you cant get thru on the phone, try reaching out on Twitter. Sometimes their social media team can help or at least escalate your case.

If you're dealing with an incorrectly disabled account, it's crucial to remain patient and persistent. Start by contacting the service provider as soon as they open. Having all your documentation handy will ease the process. Claimyr could be a useful service as it helps bypass long wait times, allowing you to speak to an agent directly, though it does come with a cost. It's beneficial to document all interactions, including taking note of the representative's name and any case numbers. Consider checking your credit report for any suspicious activities, as identity theft could be a reason for your account's status. If phone attempts don't yield results, turning to social media for assistance can be surprisingly effective. Many companies have dedicated teams managing their online presence and are more responsive to public inquiries. Remember to stay composed through this frustrating ordealβ€”your demeanor can make a significant difference in progressing toward a resolution. Finally, fraud systems are often imperfect and may be prone to errors, so it's crucial to advocate for yourself clearly and calmly.

Have you tried checking your online account? Sometimes they post notices there before sending anything in the mail. Might give you a heads up on what's going on.

That's a good point! Many times they update the online portal first.
