FML...ID Theft

[GhostTX]

Got a call this morning from Bank of America that someone did an application trying to create three checking accounts in my name. The perp put the wrong address on the application which made BoA find and call my home. Fortunately, no funding was done.

So far I've contacted all 3 credit agencies and put up a fraud alert, filed a complaint for fraud with the FTC, a complaint for fraud with the OIG (for my SSN), contact my bank, my one credit card and one of my investment houses, and finally the local police to file a case.

Also signed up with CreditKarma.com for free credit monitoring and also reviewed my credit report from Experian (nothing out of the norm).

Since the perp did a bank application, I'm assuming the person has my SSN and TDL. Anybody else go through this? What more can I expect and what else do I need to do? Further, anybody using one of the credit services like Lifelock or Identity Guard?

Lol. No, I meant earlier that waking day ( the 27th ). Didn't realize the time when I posted.

This is one of the main reasons I keep a PO box, and also still have some of my "billing" addresseseses as my parents house. Nothing linked back to home address in case someone pulls something from my mailbox.

After I had a box of checks stolen I started using a locking mailbox.. I haven't had any problems since.

Unless they completed the application online, I'd request to see the video from the bank showing the person that filled out the application to make 100% sure it's not someone I know that's trying to screw me.
