I called the credit card company to let them know that I did not rent anything from a rent to own store, they told me that since my statement there had been 10 more transactions. They closed that account and got me a new card, but I am still fighting to get the disputed charges and acount off of my credit report. It still shows up as unresolved. Needless to say I quit using that company completely, but I don't like having that show up on my credit report. When we bought our house, we just had to show the mortgage company all of our documentation and letters that we had showing that this was not our doing and they did not hold it against us. I wish you the best of luck getting your situation taken care of.

Oh no! I hope it will be as easily taken care of as the customer service agent said. I point blank asked her just to be clear, and she assured me that I would not be responsible for the charges. She also said that they will notify the credit agencies. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Can it be that simple???????? I hope so.
By the way, how did you find out who had stolen your account number? I have no clue!!!
