Identity Theft is a serious thing.
My friend Mike got pulled over for a dead tail light about 4 years ago.
While the officer was writing his ticket, he also ran Mike’s name and found everal outstanding warrants from Florida for bad checks, stealing a car (buying a car and never paying for it) and a couple of other things. Mike lives in New York and had never been to Florida. Mike sat in the county jail in NY for a week waiting for extradition papers. Was transported to Florida where after 5 weeks someone finally realized that Mike wasn’t the right skin color. Still it took several more weeks before Mike was released from custody.
A judge finally gave Mike a signed Court Order declaring him to be an Identity Theft victim.
Mike has spent $30,000 on attorneies and court fees fixing this problem and he still gets harassed occasionally and can’t get credit despite the court order. By the way, the Identity Thief is currently somewhere in Texas.
