usis question??

Same name and birthdate? I can believe that. But nobody can have the same social as you unless they stole your identity. You've got a loooooooooooot of work to do. It's amazing you haven't gotten arrested yet.

 

My wifes ex got stopped, received a citation for whatever he was stopped for and also not having insurance, somehow the court house got it mixed up with my wife or he had it mixed up and we got a letter stating she was being suspended for non payment of said citation and a warrant was being issued for her arrest, she called that court house, explained she does not live there, does not have access to that car and that we live 4 hours from there, but we were in a whole different state when her ex got the citation,, the clerk looked into it found the MISTAKE and took care of it, her ex got stopped again a week or two later and was arrested lol. so that problem was solved for us.

 

The best thing for you to do is get your ducks in line. Use that background investigation report as a tool. Locate whatever you can to show that you were employed in a state other than the one where this individual was incarcerated, etc... You can contact USIS and ask them to look into it, but you are looking at a long wait. I used to do a lot of background checks when I was in the military and they started farming out BI's to USIS. They were professional enough, but severely backlogged and overworked. The other option, if it looks like someone stole your identity (which would be the only feasible explanation for the social security number) is to contact your local police department and file a report. That report, coupled with your contact of USIS should be enough when you go to another job. Make sure you are up front and completely honest with them. Explain it all and if the company is worth a ####, they will be understanding. Don't forget to check the FBI website for identity theft, they have a lot of steps you can take but you should definitely be proactive with the credit. If they haven't gotten to it yet, it's just a matter of time before they do. Put fraud alerts on all three major credit reports. The attorney is a good idea too.
