Re: use off ss number

Identity theft is a very hot topic in law enforcement. I do not think what she has done is identity theft. However, the actions of your ex-wife seem to indicate that she only accessed your acount. Did she do anything with the information? Did she open up her own accounts, transfer money etc...?

These are questions that only an investigation by your lawyer or by law enforcement can answer. Good luck and please consult the lawyer you have further.
