Identity Theft!

Apparently back on 2003, someone with my name and social security number opened an account at chase bank online. They received papers in the mail, signed them and then sent them back to the bank. 8 years later I go and deposit money into my chase account and my lovely bank decides to withdraw 600 dollars and credit it to this account because it is overdrawn. Needless to say I had no idea this had happened until I went to the store and my card was denied. It is now under investigation and can take up to 6 months before I can get any of my money back! They literally took our last 600 dollars we had in the bank. So just remember to be careful!! If someone would have stolen my debit/credit card this would have been resolved already. But when someone actually uses your social and copies your signature, you're screwed until a complete investigation has occurred. It looks like I'm going to have to change my social as well. After all this went down last week, I took a peek at my credit report and VOILA!! There was like 10 different versions of my name and addresses I have NEVER lived at! Being poor sucks already! It sucks even worse when someone steals ALL your money!
