Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
found person using my idenity
My wallet was stolen when i was in high school and i eventually found out that my ssn and my ID were sold to a guy that lived in wisconsn. recently I had my credit report pulled and found out that this guy is now living in kilgore tx. i've called the PD there and i keep getting the run around. I want to know if i can go up to this man's door ask to see if he's still using my information and if he is can i call the cops on him at that very moment? Technically i'm not tresspassing if the property is in my name and ssn right?

Re: found person using my idenity
You would be better served by hiring a lawyer who is knowledgeable about the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Identity theft and related causes of action. In most cases, it is difficult to get law enforcement involved. To get your name cleared, you will probably have to file a lawsuit.

File a report with the FTC and the FBI. Don't go and face him directly since you'll tip him off, and possibly get shot for your efforts.
