My husband and I have been arguing the last few months about why there have been some questionable charges in our checking account. He has been accusing me of not keeping track and I have been saying the same to him.
Well yesterday, my husband was working at his fathers shop and he was looking in the files for something and what he found was a file that had ALL of our banking information!! Copies of checks we have written out to our landlord, utility bills, everything.
Found out that because my husband shares the same name as his father, his father has been somehow going into our bank account and spying on us and possibly taking money (no proof on the taking money part but he is shady enough to do so)!!! What we did was informed the bank about this situation, put a block on our account that you must have an ID no matter what for anything and the numbers must match our IDs and also found out that my husbands father is friends with one of the managers!!!
Now we have been having problems with this man for sometime and he has crossed the line several times in the past but this is the final straw!
My question is what would be the appropriate thing to handle this situation? Is this identity theft? I actually am thinking about pressing charges. But do I have a case here? And NO his father’s name is NOT on our account. This account is mine with my husbands name on it.
Thanks in advance

Oprah’s show was about online fraud today and it blew my mind. i was a victim of idenity theft before it really became popular and it was horrible. The person wrote $4600 in checks from my account. I still haven’t gotten it figured out.

I live in an area where door-to-door sales-people are very abundant due to a University whose students are trying to make money for tuition. I have purchased things from them before using checks, but with the Identity Theft problems going on, I feel like now it is a bad idea. What do you think?
