DD2 has issues. Serious issues. Issues that are wrong and hurt other people. (She also has mental issues--for real, that we think stem from a serious head injury she had years ago)
2 years ago, she stole DH credit cards and used them. She also stole a pad of his checks from his then current bank account, and also found checks from 2 old closed accounts. She wrote checks on them. She signed his name and the name of her deceased mother on them. No one ever bothered to check her ID.
Bottom line, she was caught, arrested, did time in several jails--adding up to about a year. She went to court, several times, and the involved banks, FDIC insurance and credit card companies slapped her hands, said bad girl, and dropped charges after she paid a partial restitution.
Now she is back out in the world again.
We on the other hand, had to get a new bank account, prove over and over we were innocent, change drivers license numbers, get new credit cards....
Now once again, we are suddenly getting phone calls from pay day loan companies wanting her, and our checks are being denied by places that use the telecheck and clear check systems. Once again, we have to prove we are innocent.
She used our address and phone number for payday loans when she no longer even lived here.
The check clearing companies have once again been faxed all the court documents. Now that they see it is a criminal deal, they refuse to talk to us. So, we have no idea if she is at it again, still had some of the checks she stole, or if these were old checks that never went to court. Since it is criminal, we "dont have the right to have that privilaged information"--even though we are the victims.
When will this end??
Is she at it again???

What a situation.

Sometimes, people don't change. We haven't spoken to him in over 20 years. No one in the family has heard from him in at least 8. He's been in and out of jail, and he is still doing the same things ... it's a hard fact to face sometimes.
I hope things work out for your family. No one deserves to go through that, and I am sorry that the companies aren't working more with you. I would be furious that I couldn't find out about my own problem as a victim.

If they don't check ID, it should be their problem, not yours, yet in reality it does not work that way.
Wow, if she is willing to do this to her own family, I can only imagine what she'd be willing to do to strangers.
