You don't even have to have a problem with "theft" for things to get screwed up for you. My husband opened a checking account after we moved here, and a few days later tried to use his card to withdraw cash. The ATM wouldn't accept it. He went into the bank to find out why, they basically gave him the runaround. After going back in and talking to the manager he found out that another man with his name had opened a business which had flopped and had bailed on the loan. Well, the bank didn't do the work on their end and just matched names, not SSN's and had closed his account anyway. It's scary the stuff that can happen with all of your info in computer databases and whatnot...
Captain....that totally sucks! Glad that things have managed to work themselves out now.
