<prompt> Human: I recently went to open a checking account. Im a single father of 3 and havent had a bank account in about 10 years.The bank was one Id previously had an account with but closed it due to financial hardship. After giving all my info I was told they had an account open for me under my name and SSN. At first I assumed it was the account I thought Id closed... until I saw the address it was registered to. The address was one out of state in a place I had never been and only knew about because the birth mother of my children lives there, at that very address.I have sole custody and the kids live in CA with me while she lives in MS. I have never been to MS in my life, let alone lived and opened a bank account there. I got a print out that states there was an account in my name at that address, but after that the bank didnt seem willing to cooperate. I asked for copies of the info used to open the account as well as any information on account activity and was told there was no info to give. They made it seem like the information was unavailable because the account was too old it was opened 2011-2013.So now Im left with the knowledge that my ex has opened an account in my name and registered it to her address. I checked my credit score and saw nothing besides my lack of financial activity this past decade.I requested my credit reports and thats when things got interesting.The 1st report Asked me basic questions I was able to easily answer. All questions about my past info were accurate. No issues getting the report, but also no suspicious activity on the report.The 2nd report I was asked questions about the address in MS where She lives. I answered according to the limited knowledge I had about where she lives. I was granted access based on these answers, but again so nothing odd on the report.The 3rd report asked me how much my home mortgage was, how much my monthly auto payment was, and asked me which retailer I had a credit card with out of 4 options. I have never had a credit card and currently have no mortgage or auto loan in my name. Based on these answers, I was denied access to this credit report.As a last ditch effort I entered my name into Spokeo on a recommendation and found my name listed not only at that address in MS, but at ANOTHER address in MS that she has also said was her physical address. I am lost on what to do but Im certain that confronting her will get me nowhere. During our relationship I caught her once with a copy of my SSN and birth certificate, which she claimed she needed for the kids, I took these copies from her but I never thought she wouldve had other copies. Im not sure if this is something I should report to the police or not. I feel like I should but at the same time I have no proof of damages so I dont know how far that will take me. I dont even know how to go about requesting information from the bank.I also think its weird that Im being asked questions about accounts and payments I dont have but theres no evidence of my credit score or credit report. Its undeniable that somethings wrong My name at 2 of her addresses is TOO coincidental, I just cant figure out what exactly.Is there anyone reading that has been in a similar situation?Thanks.PS- Id also appreciate info on how to check if shes used our kids SSNs to open accounts.  <response>: File a police report asap! This will help you get a freeze on your accounts. Since it is over state lines, and depending on tge amounts the ex is using in your name, the feds might get involved. The sooner you file, the better. Taking this action saved my mom from having to repay thousands someone took out in her name. They gave her a password she had to give to discuss the case and other safeguards to help regain some control. Filing will get you a copy of all 3 credit bureau reports. Its a lot of paperwork, but worth it. In my state, as a parent, you can also file for your children as a precaution. Please file today if possible!
