Someone In Jail Is Using My Identity – What Can I Do, Judge?
Posted on: September 2nd, 2013 Comments Off on Someone In Jail Is Using My Identity – What Can I Do, Judge?Question: Judge Mathis, I would like to know if it’s possible to sue a correction center for misidentification, pain and suffering? I would like to sue the correction center because someone else has been locked up under my identity! Now my Social Security Income has been cut off and I have to go through a lot of paper work to clear my name and my credit. What steps do I need to take to complete the process?
The Judge’s Answer: You do not have a claim against the correction center because an inmate falsely used your identification. You may petition the criminal court for an expunction of the false criminal case and present the order of expunction to the social security board so that your benefits can be reinstated. I suggest you hire an attorney.
