ID THEFT VICTIM STORY
I HAVE NOT HAD ANY HELP FROM MY STATE FOR FINDING OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS...NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, POLICE, ATTORNEYS, NO ONE...I HAD TO RESEARCH ALL THE BACKGROUND INFO. I DID COME UP WITH THE NAME, ADDRESS AND HAVE GOTTEN TO HAVE A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST IN HIS HOME TOWN, I GOT A DETECTIVE TO HELP ME IN ONE OF THE WESTERN MOUNTAIN STATES WHERE THIS PERSON IS. HE GOT TWO CREDIT CARDS THAT I DO NOT HAVE, I KNEW ABOUT HIM A YEAR AGO BUT COULD NOT GET ANY HELP AND WAS TOLD I COULD DO NOTHING..THE ONE CREDIT CARD COMPANY CHANGED HIS NAME AND ADDRESS AND PHONE TO MINE WHEN I ALERTED THEM TO THE FRAUD, THEY EVEN SENT ME A COLLECTION NOTICE. WHAT CAN I DO LEGALLY? I HAVE THE TWO INTERNET APPLICATIONS THANKS TO THE DETECTIVE..SO MANY ATTORNEYS THAT I TALK TO SAY TO LET THIS GO BUT I DO NOT FEEL IF I LET THIS GO THAN WHO WILL SUCCEED IN FINDING A WAY TO STOP THIS TERRIBLE INVASION OF PRIVACY AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF THE IDENTITY FRAUD TO UNKNOWN VICTIMS? I FEEL I NEED TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON MY PLANS BUT HOW DO I DO IT IF NO ONE WANTS TO HELP? I HAVE TRIED EVERY AVENUE FOR HELP..CAN I SUE THE BANK FOR THE COLLECTION NOTICE AND THE DELINQUENCY ON MY BIG 3 CREDIT REPORTS, MY REPORT IS BAD ENOUGH WITHOUT THIS. THEY ALSO HAVE HIS ADDRESS AS MY PREVIOUS ADDRESS AND HIS PHONE NUMBER THAT IS ONE REASON HE GOT THIS CREDIT IN MY NAME...I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS GOING ON UNTIL I GOT A SECOND REPORT IN AUG OF 2002, THE LAST REPORT I SAW WAS FROM JAN OF 2001, EVEN WHEN I HAD A CREDIT FRAUD FLAG FOR 90 DAYS.. PLEASE HELP ME.........
