Well folks, I never figured it would happen to me. Someone else has my SSN#!!!

In my industry everytime you go to another firm, you go thru a rigorous backbround check. This includes; employment history back 10yrs, residential history back 5yrs, FBI background check w/ prints, and a credit check. Kinda similar to a CCW background check.

Well, my new job ran everything and found a tax lien pending on my credit. Hmmm....never had that before. This tax lien was in LA County. I never lived in LA County. A residential history check proves that. So last Mon. when I got the offer, my new firm looked into it further and found that a person by the name of Alex Oblea had used my SSN# and somehow screwed LA County out of $2600. Which is now on my credit!!!

Now I took a rather large paycut when I came to Dallas 2yrs ago. Which forced me to go thru debt consolidation. If you guys don't know, going thru debt consolidation screws with your credit score while you're going thru it. You can't get an unsecured loan even if your life depended on it. This is my only saving grace right now. This guy could've really made it difficult for me.

Now I get to fix this mess!! What a fucking pain in the ass. I called my bank tonight just in case he has that account too. I have to close my account and open another one.

I wish I could find this guy and kick his ass!!! [:(!][pound][:(!] I don't know how this could've happened. I shred everything with my personal info on it. Even if it is just a name and address. I shred all CC apps. I NEVER put my SSN# on any web application.

This sucks big time!!! Luckily being a financial guy, I am very meticoulous about keeping records. This should help me fix this shit!!

I am getting a hold of the Tax Assesors office in LA tomorrow and find out for sure. That maybe a possibility. In looking at my credit report, I do not see many inquiries on there within the past 6months. Most I recognize.

Isuspect there is a filing/transposed numbers type of mistake involved.  If it were true Identity theft you would likely have a LOT more problems on your hands than a $2600 tax lien...
