family : - / *rant*
well i will try to keep this as short as possible.
my mom calls me and tells me my dad called. he said i was getting college papers at his house (in florida), so he sent them to my house (in ohio). she opens them (i am at school right now). tells me it is a collection agency. i am like "wtf?!?!"
well i call the agency. they said they have a bad check from me. i am like.. i dont write checks, they told me my name was on the account.. i am like... ummm.. ok?
well i find out that my dad opened an account for me. and he passed a few (i have ten pages of) bad checks in florida, and since he cant/wont pay for them, they are coming back on me and my credit.
i called my attourney but have not found out anything yet.
this is great, i have college loans that i have to apply for each year, and i wont be able to get them with bad credit.. and i have good credit with "MY" checking account.
my dad is social security from a car wreck a long time ago, but i cant believe that he could do this to me.
i cant sue him, because, i wont get anything. i will be wasting my money.
anyone know of/ or have had this type of i guess "identity theft" happen before?
oh.. the account, they never sent any statements to me, always to my address in florida.. which i never lived at. i dont have an atm card, account number.. anything for the account. the only way i could get my name off of it was to close it (which i did friday). but all the damage has been done... a list of bad checks...

His Dad probably set up the account in both their names, alot of parents do that so they can help budget their kids money in college. But legally you have to personaly sign at the bank to have your name on the accountn so you might have something there- if you never signed.
