Hi,
A few months ago I was hired by a hotel in PA as a banquet bartender/server, and was required to fill out new employee paperwork (W2s, banking info, social security number, etc). Less than a week after my first event there, the banquet manager left a message on my voice mail saying "your new employee paperwork has gone missing," and that I would have to come in to fill out new paperwork. Suffice it to say I never worked for that company again (as if I were going to give them a second chance to "lose" my personal security info). I thought using the phrase "went missing" was a nice way of shifting from blame to an "oops! accident occured" excuse.
I want to know what rights I have outside of contacting my bank, credit bureaus, etc., as I have learned identity thieves normally wait for a bit before using your information for their own financial dreams.
Is this something I can sue them for?
