Store Card Issued Under Another Name After Application

Miscellaneous

Ok on Black Friday I went to kmart as I walked in the door a lady asked me if I wanted to apply for a card I said I dont think I have enough credit. She said she gets credit no matter what so I said sure why not so I give my dr. Lisense and ss# and phone number. She comes back and said I got approved I was really excited its christmas time I figured I would charge stuff and pay when we got our taxes back in two months.

So I made a purchase and payed for my moms layway.By the way no one asked for my id making these purchases so she said I have 24 hours to use it at sears or kmart then in a few weeks a card would come in the mail. So I went to the other store and was ganna buy a camcorder and camera the guy asked for my id so I show it to him well the name on the card was a different name.

I talked to several people including the attorney general federal trade comm. I made a police report before the guy at kmart even contacted them (3 days later) I continued to call around to get answers how did this happen why is her info linked with mine was a mistake at the store what well in the mean time the loss prevention guy gets a whole of the police officer who is his friend by the way and tells him I gave a false ss# to get this card.

I know 100% all my info I gave was accurate I mean why would I give my name driver lic. Number address birthdate ect... And a different ss # makes no sense so I call the 800 number and she told me that there machines work by address and phone numbers so if this mable lady at one point in time had the same number or address as me it might have pulled up her info and the associate didn't catch it but I dont understand how after I put my ss# in how did this temp reciept (card) print out.

So ant ways I made these purchases and im trying to figure out how I can pay for this stuff then I check the mail the ladys card came to my address I haven't opened it yet but I have asked so many people where my original application that I signed was I still cant locate it I called the 800 # they told me my app.

Got denied at 6:25 my purchase was made at 6:47 so there's no way with in 20 min I could have convinced this lady to do another application and use a false ss# so anyways there pressing charges on me for allegedly "fraudgentlygiving a false ss# to get a card" I know there's no way I gave a false or different ss# or there's no way both me and that clerk could have messed up on it typing it the computer there store is totally at fault they should have never let me make 2 purchases.
By the way a manager approved one of them and 2 workers and the mistake should have been caught before it even printed.

I honestly didn't even know that it wasnt my name until I was at the other place and they asked for my id so now im waiting to go to court if any one has had something similar happen or knows how to get my signed application can you get a whole of me niki thanks
