    Exclamation Check Forgery, Fraud and Identity Theft

    Hello, I am just curious, what charges can I file while I am in the military when the following happened before I joined and happened within the last 3 years. My mom's boyfriend (still lives in NY as far as I know), has power of attorney over her in NY as well.

    I am trying to seek legal action against him for:
    1. Opening up numerous accounts with out my authorization
    2. used my open accounts with out my authorization
    3. forged my signature on a check from my company for the amount of $800.00 and never told me about it, found out 3 days later from the bank because it came back NSF
    4. has never repayed me for any of the bills he had racked up that was in my name
    5. opened up 2 credit card accounts in my moms name while shes incarcerated
    6. promised my grandmother before she died that he would repay her the $75,000 he barrowed from her and never did, as well as there is evidence of him forging checks made out to him from her account while she was still alive totalling what he "barrowed" from her $93,200, and I am the Aire to her Estate.
    7. ruined my credit


    and I cant really go after him civilly for the fact that he already has 5 other judgements against ranging between 10,000 to 1,000,000. He currently just started working again at a walmart.

    Even if some of these things I cant go after him for, can I still use them as evidence?

    I just recieved a summons for civil actions from one of the companies he racked up on me. They are currently working with me on trying to keep this particular matter out of court but I am starting to seek legal action against him with Navy Legal. Is there anything else I should do?

    If you believe you have grounds for a criminal case, file a police report. You'll need a police report to help you clear up your credit history, anyway. If you're not available as a witness, the prosecutor may defer or choose not to authorize charges, but it may be possible to proceed on some of the crimes (esp. those involving your grandmother and her estate) with other witnesses. The prosecutor, not you, would decide what (if any) charges to file.

    Ok heres another question, although this happened a few years ago, and im now currently serving in the military in the navy but still in the states but not in NY, I can still goto the local police or even DOD (Federal Police) to make the report? I been trying to schedule an appointment with the Navy Legal office here on base but they been pretty busy so I am trying to get whatever I can get done now so I can present it to JAG.

    You can try. You've waited a very long time to report this.
