Kansas District Court in Wichita Kansas allowed someone to present themselves as me and get "good faith and credit"
Monday, February 4th, 2008I am living like the Taliban in Las Vegas, NV, after 9/11, when I left Wichita, Kansas, to save my life. I had been in a car wreck, when I rolled 20 times, no brakes or steering, June 2, 2001. The “law” wouldn’t even investigate. Two years later when I had to go back and [...]
The Bank
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008I was wondering what bank Karen was dealing with that did such an inept job. I read her story today in Reader’s Digest, and found myself not only fuming at the theif and and the court system, but the horrilble customer service provided by her bank. If I could find out what bank [...]
recent check forgery
Thursday, January 24th, 2008The forged checks continue to come in and now total over $3000. Fortunately, nothing else has been out of order for us.

Opting out of credit card offers…
Saturday, January 5th, 2008I called the 888 number last night to opt out of credit card offers. I was kinda surprised by the need for my ssn and d.o.b. I trusted your story and Reader’s Digest but woke up in the middle of the night feeling I had just handed out my identity. Why do they need [...]
Credit security freezes to prevent ID theft
Sunday, December 30th, 2007When reviewing suggestions for preventing financial identity theft in magazine articles and on the web I am surprised at how infrequently I see any mention of putting a security freeze to prevent credit bureaus from giving out information to potential thieves.
I often see “check your credit reports frequently”, but this method will only tell you [...]
When it is Family!
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007Identity theft is a hard thing to deal with, but it is even harder when it is a family member that does it to you.

First of all, congratulations on confronting the woman who stole your identity. I used to work for the government and I know that not many people have this opportunity. I’m proud of you for taking control of the situation and bringing the thief to justice.
On a lighter note, we just watched your [...]
