Open Question: NEED expert advices/comments/opinions on identity theft

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

My wife came to U.S. 2 years ago and got issued her SSN last October 07. Yesterday, we just found out that her SSN got linked to 3 different SSN with a series of delinquencies from way back when. The credit file also has a different date of birth.

At this point, I know the steps to clean up this mess and currently following it by contacting the credit bureaus and social security admin. However, I’d like you to help me understand in what way it could possibly happen. I’d like to be educated, and maybe it helps someone else to understand more about this as well. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Open Question: What is the name of the rap song where the rapper raps about committing petty crime?

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

There was a rap video on Austin Music Network, about 5 years ago, where the rapper was singing about committing petty / non-violent / victimless crimes, but we was doing it in a normal rap-style demeanor - Like you would see a rapper sing about shooting, killing, etc.

The crimes mentioned in the song involved stealing receipts from peoples trash to get their identity, stealing credit cards, nabbing purses, low dollar theft, and many others. He would elobarate in his rap about how terrible is was going to be when this stuff happened to you.
To add to this, this was NOT a mainstream song at all, I only heard/saw it one time, and I laugh everytime i think about it.

Open Question: Shared custody but ex has warrant out for arrest can I get custody?

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

My husband’s ex has a warrant out for her arrest. We have 50/50 physical and legal custody. She was convicted of identity theft and she has a warrant as she has violated almost all of her conditions of her parole. According to the paper I have for her warrant she is to spend 3 nights in jail when picked up at a min.
My question is we do not know when she will turn herself in and do not want my stepson riding in her car or being with her -can we get an emergency hearing? What should we do??
When going through our custody battle this identity theft was going on and she had been arrested once but not convicted. Of course the mediator said this did not make her a bad mom! Just wondering what we should do now?
