So ok, I have a friend who's twin brother has been stealing his identity. He's already filed a police report and given it to the bank, the problem is that the more time goes on the more we're discovering / charges this ass clown has run up in his name.
This started when his bank called to have him file a police report. He'd already had a fraud investigation opened on the account, so it was closed. They had not been able to determine who had commited the fraud prior to this. I have no idea how the bank was able to find this without the police being involved, but they determined the person was his brother. Bad checks for the account kept coming in. He found out later his brother had taken an expired ID and a box of checks from his house at some point. Anyway, a police report was file and the brother was in jai but has been out on bond since a few weeks ago.
Well, a week ago his car died. He doesn't have a lot of money, so he went to the 'cheap' dealer in town to try and get a loan and discovered that he has:
A power bill in his name with a write off
A cable bill in his name with a write off at an address he's never lived at
2 Hospital bills
Today his new account started getting over drafts, he called in because he had told them never to allow over drafts and was told he called in last week to allow overdrafts and to order a new card.
Now, I know he needs to go to the police station for the new round of bullshit with this new account, plus possible mail fraud I guess (He thinks his brothers been going through his mail while he's at work).
His bank is holding him responsible for the overdraft fee's on his account because 'he' authorized them. I have no idea how to help him get the bills off his credit from places he never lived, or to prove it wasn't him at the hospital since his brother is his twin. His brother is twice is size, but they still look alike in the face. Any help would be appreciated.
