There really doesn't seem to be much I can do about it without a boatload of money so I just try to accept the cards I've been dealt. Right now I'm just focusing on living my life. I've pretty much given up on the life I thought I'd have--house, family, well-paying IT job, etc.<BR/><BR/>I have some residual income off of software I've written while I've been unemployed but it's certainly not enough to be able to afford a house or even a decent car since my credit is absolutely trashed.<BR/><BR/>I am, however, planning on buying a used motorcycle, tent, and sleeping bag. After that, who knows?<BR/><BR/>Did you ever start your couch-surfing trip across the country? I know you were thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>I'm sending you an e-mail with some identity theft info to your yahoo account so keep an eye out for it.<BR/><BR/>ToddTodd Fennellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960733846547224877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474509112703289642.post-48838176550664256622007-10-19T15:36:00.000-04:002007-10-19T15:36:00.000-04:00Hey Todd, Drew here.

I have nothing left to say about Criminal Identity Theft (nothing positive anyway). I just wanted to wish you good luck. It was at least some small comfort to have known that I am not the only one who has been raped by the system.<BR/><BR/>PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474509112703289642.post-55697295245982301682007-07-14T12:31:00.000-04:002007-07-14T12:31:00.000-04:00Just dropping by to say hi and see how you're hold...Just dropping by to say hi and see how you're holding up. Things are pretty much the same here. I'm about three weeks away from forclosure with no way of holding it off any longer. I guess I'll be joining the ranks of the homeless in a month or so. Just wanted to touch base and see when your next post was coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474509112703289642.post-8572224683789870782007-06-21T15:38:00.000-04:002007-06-21T15:38:00.000-04:00Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. As I ...Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. As I am about to become homeless I am sure you can guess that the delay is due to the fact that I don't have internet access. I am very curious to hear about your idea that you mentioned on my blog. I don't know if I'll be able to get back online today but I'll try. I have to get to my lovely part time minimum wage job now.<BR/><BR/>PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474509112703289642.post-11645904197476877082007-06-16T15:58:00.000-04:002007-06-16T15:58:00.000-04:00Thanks for explaining this.

You're absolutely correct about the process.<BR/><BR/>It also appears that the false information travels the other way as well. Meaning that the FBI, or someone, passes the damaging information down to other state and local agencies. For example, Florida has added an additional level of confusion by creating FCIC (Florida Crime Information Center) which gathers data from the NCIC, other state criminal databases, local law enforcement, and "other Florida information systems."<BR/><BR/>I haven't found anything to convince me that it's anything other than one big mess. The more I think about it the more disgusted I get. Not just because it affects me, but for the complete callousness they have for destroying innocent people's lives.Todd Fennellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960733846547224877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474509112703289642.post-54150077735376421342007-06-16T14:16:00.000-04:002007-06-16T14:16:00.000-04:00As an afterthought I just realized that I might be...As an afterthought I just realized that I might be able to better help you understand the difficulty in resolving the problem. You and likely most other people aren't aware of the path your personal information takes in order to get to an employer background check. Here's what happens with your most sensitive information as it travels from false arrest to background check:<BR/><BR/>1. Criminal aressted using your FULL NAME, SSN, and Date of Birth.<BR/><BR/>2.Criminal booked, incarcerated, tried, and released.<BR/><BR/>3. Local Law Enforcement passes false information to State Agency.<BR/><BR/>4. State Agency passes false information to Department of Justice (FBI, same difference really).<BR/><BR/>THE NEXT STEP IS WHERE THE PROBLEM REALLY BEGINS TO ESCALATE.<BR/><BR/>5. The FBI SELLS (Yes you read that correctly) your PERSONAL information to HUNDREDS of companies that provide credit and background screenings for employers. Once all of thes companies have the false information there is no FED or State regulation which requires them to monitor or correct the information.<BR/><BR/>So there you go, the real problem here is profitability. You see, the FBI says it can't handle Background checks for employers because it doesn't have the manpower. So instead of creating a department to handle the PRIVATE INFORMATION of the citizens it is supposed to protect, it SELLS the information to all of these private companies who aren't regulated, controlled, or even monitored.<BR/><BR/>Just thought you should be aware, it took me quite a bit of digging to follow the trail of false charges from beginning to end.<BR/><BR/>Keeep in touch friend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474509112703289642.post-75746731974378678202007-06-16T13:55:00.000-04:002007-06-16T13:55:00.000-04:00Thanks for the links and comment, it's good to kno...Thanks for the links and comment, it's good to know I'm not the only one who has his eyes open these days. In reply to your question about which State I'm in: I'm in Georgia, we're neighbors. And so far as remaining anonymous is concerned, like yourself I am past the point of caring about my anonymity. It's very likely I am about to change my name and SSN as this is the only way I have found to shake the record of the Full Time Felon who stole my life. He will be paroled next month and I really don't feel like being a punching bag for the next set of charges to work it's way down the pipes. Also, so that you will be aware, I have tried to get debt relief through credit counseling agencies and been told I have "insufficient income" and was given the same response when trying to file for Bankruptcy. As the only job I have been able to get is a part time minimum wage job, of course my income is insufficient (I wouldn't have been able to get even this job if I had not know the store manager and company district manager personally). Up until a few years ago I could have qualified for Bankruptcy but new legislation passed by our beloved leadership changed all that. It is now pretty much impossible to qualify for Chapter 7 and in order to file Chapter 11 or 13 you have to prove that you are capable of repaying the debts on some level. Please keep in touch with me through my blog and I will try to do the same. I will continue to hope that you have more success in dealing with this matter than I have had.<BR/><BR/>PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
