FL, I left Office Mgr position in Dec 2000, moved to VA in Feb 2001, Someone from company stole my name, SS#, d.o.b, from unlocked (no key) file cabinet in front office accessible by 40 techs and office personnel. It's left unlocked at all times. They set up fraudulent credit cards in my name using my info obtained from personnel file. I know this because on one of the credit cards, they used the company address to receive the card in the mail and as billing address.
Can I sue this company holding them resposible for my grief now, and knowing someone may indeed have my personal information for the rest of my natural life? I contacted a lawyer, she did not know of any case law or preceidence set, told me to wait to see if I incur financial problems. So far it has been 2 full days of writing, calling and fretting. (3 days later after contacting company and having them shred my personnel file, police called, asked admin. and file drawer remains unlocked, also found out cleaning crew comes to clean, unsupervised)
I have cancelled all bank accts, credit card accts, called social security office, if this person ruins me, my husb could lose his job
Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do.
