Someone opened a phone account using my name and personal information but different mailing address. Am I permitted to obtain the information regarding this account even though I was not the one that opened it?\nI would like to refer to the section of the law that allows me to obtain that information. \nPolice was involved (I filed police report) but they were unable to obtain any information regarding this account without search warrant.

Your name, your personal information?  Yes you should be able to access the account information.  It is after all your personal information that was used.  Talk to the company where this account has been opened, tell them you want copies of all the account information.  They can't rightly refuse as the name on the account is yours.  If they have other personal information like social security number and birth date then they really can't despite that you are the person on the account especially if you show proof.

Email the person to find out. \n\nYahoo will not tell you because of their privacy policy, so emailing the person is really your only choice.

you will be unable to get any information about the Officer unless you are an immediate relative such as a spouse, parent or sibling.  \n\ntry googling your friend's name.

Just so you know for sure, I'm agreeing with the other person that suggested you call the OPP, the Ontario Provincial Police.\n\nI would call their non-emergency line and report the person.  Because you are submitting a report, your name will be taken down, it's procedure.  You can ask not to have your name disclosed and to be kept confidential.  I'm sure they automatically do that, keep you name confidential, but just for your concern, there's no harm in asking.

You, personally can't find this out. It is confidential. If the person is suspected of fraud, you should report it to the agency, and let them handle it from there.

This is illegal under the Drivers Privacy Protection Act (DPPA).\n\nWould you want somebody to be able to find information on you via this approach?

Yeah sorry, I had this problem and I actually found the yahoo number and called them and basically they said that there is no way to get to your account without that information that you supplied when you first opened it...so you just lose all that stuff basically, sorry I couldnt help

It happened to my sister-in-law, she called her Internet service in order to get it changed on her email account. Something to do with privacy and identity theft, and this worked for her. But, different services has different rules.

Based on that information, I checked online, and it is a residential address, and one of the people listed is a Scott Aldrich. Does the name ring a bell?\n\nHas your identity been stolen? Because it sounds like unauthorized purchases have been made against your credit card. I say issue a fraud alert.

How do you *know* the ex is doing this?\n\nIn California, what you are describing would very likely be illegal.  If you were in California, and the employing agency didn't take your complaint seriously, you could contact the local prosecutor's office.  Also, and again in California, the state agency providing automated data such as you're describing would want to know about your claim.

this is very hard since email address need not be related to the real name at all. anyone can create an email address with a different name or location and anything else. The only way would be to see if this is an official email that belongs to a corporation rather than a web based email that allows anyone to sign up

Go to your local police department and explain the situation to them. If there is a police report on file regarding the Identity Theft, then they will be able to proceed with the background check without incident. If there is no report on file, they may scrutinize your reason for this request a bit more. \n\nGood luck and no worries. This type of thing happends all the time = these days!

www.reversephonedirectory.com has a lot of options like search by name, address, etc. i found a lot of phone numbers. Or try Net Detective maybe. You can download it for free on some Torrent sites...

Yes, they absolutely can. They have access to things the general public doesn't. It is usually as easy as getting logs from the phone company that are not available to the general public. Plus, it can be done quickly. Also, in most areas, if you hit *57 or *56  (check in the front of your phone book) after they call, even if it is private or anonymous, it can be traced. The cops usually don't get involved in it unless you notify them. If you hit those numbers more than 3 times and it shows up as the same caller in the phone company logs, the police also get involved. Some cities police departments do it automatically after being notified by the phone company and some cities need you to contact the police yourself even if you hit the trace numbers. I would advise you to call the police and they will tell you what to do. Be aware that the phone company WILL NOT tell you who it is or what number it is coming from. The police must determine this.

Why not contact and attorney and have him/her find out for you?  You might have to pay a fee but at least you would know.  I do not think the police would give you that info over the phone and short of going there and asking, an attorney might be the best option.

Contact your State's Attorney General with as much information as possible.  Also, don't think this is something too small for the FBI.  It never hurts to explore all avenues.\nDocument everything you can in great detail with copies of all paperwork/correspondence.  Good luck.\nI would also contact the SS administration, and if you're in an apartment, or somewhere you don't mind leaving, I'd move so you have a different address.\nWhat has happened to you is definitely criminal, and I hope you find justice.

You would have to prove that she did it. It could be considered Slander, Harassment, Identity Theft and possibly Fraud. You might call up a lawers office and ask what you should do. Who knows maybe you could sue and get some $$$ or at least a good apology and hopefully the removal of the email and crap.
