If you haven't done so, locking down your credit might be a wise thing to do since he has all of your personal information.
I just went to all three credit agencies to lock down my credit and what a hassle. The three credit companies are all sneaky. Two of the three signed me up for a $25 a month credit card monitoring service even though I specifically did not want those. It is hell to stop to the services and to get the CC company to reverse the charges. They will all tell you that you must give them a CC number to lock the account and then sign you up anyway.RRR said:If you haven't done so, locking down your credit might be a wise thing to do since he has all of your personal information.
NY is going to be a bear to get this straightened out! First get you a new SS#! I second the motion on an attorney. Find out what you need to do for the ID theft; that is a federal offense!RVMommaTo6 said:I'm still working on it. I need to file forms from NY to get the case reopened to then plead not guilty. The DMV, surprisingly enough, has been helpful and easy to work with but town court uses dinosaurs to do everything so they have been very difficult to deal with. Everything is taking forever and "I'll call you right back" turns into me making calls every day until I catch her answering her phone every once in a blue moon. No voicemails have been returned. And I'm pretty sure I'm the first person to ever email this woman.

Unless I ask my Kentucky relatives
We always specify that we're from upstate NY to differentiate us from the downstate "city folks". If needed, we also mention that our cottage is closer to Montreal than it is the NYC.

The girlfriend is just as guilty as your ex, assuming he provided the information and she gave it to the officer while pretending to be you. So sorry this happened to you, but likely the only way to completely resolve it will be through legal channels. A police report (documenting the identity theft discovered after-the-fact) and an attorney to help navigate the system to get it all straightened out. As a crime victim, you should be able to document your expenses and have that amount be court-ordered as restitution with the disposition of the court case (hopefully a guilty plea).
RVMommaTo6 said:As for court ordered restitution, he's been court ordered to pay me lots of different money that he owes me. Those court orders mean nothing. They don't guarantee payment. He just paid me money he owed me from 2015 and the only reason he paid it is because he's suing me for custody and knows he needed to pay that first.
