r/IdentityTheftHelp

​

My identity was stolen in 2019. I froze all three credit bureau reports and called the local police and made a police report. After that, I filled out all of the necessary forms on the Federal Trade Commission website.

Despite the fact that the creditors had no proof whatsoever that I utilized their services or purchased their products, i was ineffectively able to get them to remove even a single dollar of the fraudsters debt despite having a mountain of evidence on my side while they had nothing.

My credit score is now a joke and there's not a car dealership in this country that would allow me to finance anything on their lot despite having a high paying job. Oh and to add to that the real kicker is that the fraudster rented three or four apartments in my name and was evicted as he no longer felt like paying rent, and so I have those evictions on my record.

What the hell is a person supposed to do in this situation? I really don't want to move to Thailand Laos or Malaysia just to be able to start over. But I feel like I have my back up against the wall.

It's included in my Onerep subscription and it found my email in a couple of breaches. But should I check it on a regular basis? I just feel like my email has already been exposed, so what's the point. Not really concerned about my accounts because I use 2FA. What is your opinion?

I received a bill in my name from AT&T several weeks ago for 3 phone lines that I did not open or authorize. Long story short, I filed a police report, I went to 2 AT&T locations to try to fix this and was told there were 13 total lines on the account and I needed to call the fraud dept. I called and you cannot talk to a live agent so I had to file a fraud claim online. I had to submit a police report, affidavit, proof of address, my ID. Yesterday I got an email saying they completed the investigation and I am fully responsible for the account and the charges. I don’t know what to do now, it is not my account!

I did freeze my credit, contact IRS, SSA, FTC.
