    Default Re: Mail Theft, Forgery and Misuse of a Stolen Bank Card

    The theft occurred Nov/Dec 2016.
    I clearly never received a 1099. If I had received a 1099, I would have known about the money. I bought a house and moved in Jan 2017. Maybe it got lost in the mail. Once I realized my mail was being stolen, I put a hold on delivery. Who knows why I never received a 1099 but I certainly asked.
    The $1500 check didn't generate a 1099. That investigation was handled. The $2200 check is what generated the CP2000.
    My question was what legally can be done when someone steals your mail and forges checks.

    If you need the back story...My partner was living with me in my apartment. When I broke up with her, she refused to move out. She got violent so I went to stay with my brother and filed a restraining order. The restraining order eventually forced her to have to move out. During that time, however, she was taking my mail. She took bank cards, checks, and whatever else she could to try to steal money from me. I also was not aware that she responded to a class action lawsuit notice (Edery v Citibank). She either responded to a notice I received in the mail or she went on the website and submitted me for the class action lawsuit herself. I found out there's a class action website just for that (https://topclassactions.com/). Either way, I got approved and she stole the check when it came. The only way I found out about any of this is because the IRS sent me the CP2000 letter. The IRS told me where the check/money came from and the amount. They told me it came from Edery v Citibank. I googled it and contacted the law office involved. After a month of phone calls, emails, and lots of letters, they finally responded. They sent me the copy of the forged check with her name, signature, and the bank where she deposited the check. I just got off the phone with the law office to start the investigation. The IRS sent me the identity theft packet and they now have all of that information as well. All my taxes have been filed with no problems. Everything has been approved (I actually received my refund today).
    The next step for me is to see if she'll ever get caught. She was on the run most of last year from Los Angeles to Oakland to Atlanta to Philly. I did find out she has a warrant. This is not the first time she's committed these types of crimes. I've been very frustrated this last year dealing with all of this. So hence the reason for my post to ask what else can be done to bring her to justice?!!

    It sounds like you have done everything that you can do.
