contact all 3 credit bureaus as well as the credit card issuer, telling them you did not authorize the $1000 bal. also, if you have to contact the bbb online *better business bureau* and even your atty. general of your state. they deal with stolen identity and fraud cases.
If the bank is reporting a lawful debt to the credit bureau, there is nothing that you as a customer can do by complaining to the credit bureau. (You do have the right to attach a 300 word statement to your credit file, so you can explain the situation. but you can't remove the charge.)
You have to deal with the bank to get the charges cleared from your account.
