I would like to know why I am getting a notification of a new account opening and I haven't opened up any new account in months I just recently paid off on account. Why is that?


Who was the notification from?  If it was the lender, I would contact them and say it wasn't me.  If it was the credit bureau, I would find out who the lender is.  

It's not your job to tell the bank if they've been scammed by someone pretending to be you, but it's the nice thing to do and it will save you the hassle of telling them later when they try to collect payment from you.
