Meet Virginia.....

Hi everyone, have some pretty strange news to share, not sure if this has ever happened to anyone before, but it's so bizzare , I have to share.....OK, My husbands ex has done everything she can to make my life hell.....now she wants to steal it. She has stolen my identity, and is using it in a sick way to "get me". Now their are some similarities in us, and that is a huge downfall, the biggest one is our names, mine is Michelle(Meshel) & hers is Shelley.....that often gets mistaken and is a pain in the @*! And she has gone on and on about how I remind her of herself because we both have blond hair & we are short in height, and have brown eyes. What she forgets is that she is at least 150 pounds heavier than me (she makes me feel "model-thin") and she dyes her hair to get it blond. So it's not exactly the same as mine, and her eyes are darker. BUT ANYWAY.....this has been an issue....now because of some things that have gone wrong in her life....she tries to mess with mine...and she's been using my name.....and she yells at me saying that I "try" to be like her????? WTF, she is insane. She has even been trying to get credit cards in my name(will never happen...after my divorce my credit is shot to hell) but she does not know that. I get phone calls asking for "Shelley________", and it has driven both my husband & I crazy.....he says if he wanted someone like her, he would have stayed with her, and I am a refreshing change....he's a sucker for blonds, can't help that, and that is the only thing he says that we have in common. THIS is still aggravating....and a little disturbing. I have 1 saving grace, my middle name....it's Virginia, and its also on everything....I have always included it on everything important. So , I am dropping the Michelle....and going by my middle name from now on. I feel as though I have to but i also want to...because it's nothing like her's. I'm doing everything els to distance myself from her for my own sanity....this is just another thing to do. "Ginny"

Ummmm, what she is going is illegal. Hello? Have you told the authorities? Bad credit or not, there are firms out there that will still give credit. But that's besides the point. She's doing something illegal. At the very least, I hope you have told her you know what she's doing.

You might want to consider talking to a lawyer about your rights and what you could possibly do to stop this. This is not only scary, but it's very illegal and she could cause you some major problems down the road if this behavior is allowed to continue. If anything you could at least bust her for stalking but surely to God you could get her for identity theft. This is definitely not something that should be taken lightly as your life could literally be turned upside-down if nothing is done about it. Please do more than just changing the name you go by!

She knows that I found out...that was her whole point, she loves to throw this up in my face....just to mess w/me, and yes, I am going to do everything I need to to anyways to nip this in the bud, and to protect myself, going by my middle name, and I'm in the process of changing it on EVERYTHING...(.advice from a few people I know who have seen this kind of thing before) is a start....the good thing is , I like my middle name better.....and I am sick of being called Shelley!! (No offense to anyone els w/ this name) just her. Virginia
