ID Theft Stinks

Post by Cathulhu »

And that's why you aren't hearing a lot from me right now. Evidently, a medical paperwork person has stolen my identity, wrecked my credit, and this is not fun.

I haven't put my SSN on anything but medical forms for the last 15 years. The thief opened an account with Comcast, who are totally incompetent to do anything about it but ruin my credit. I fear I'll need to get a hungry young lawyer to file a suit before they pay attention.

I think I know a hungry young lawyer in the Seattle area. Let me check my notes (probably later this weekend) and I'll get back to you.
