Someone Is Using My Address; They've Never Lived Here
State: Indiana
Background:
I purchased my home a little over 10 years ago. I bought the home from the original owner. No one else has lived at this home besides him (and his family) and me.
Situation:
About 6 months ago, I started to receive credit card statements from Citigroup for an individual that does not live at my address. Initially, I thought this was just some clerical error, so I discarded the statement. The statements continued to arrive, so I contacted Citi. They said they would stop sending the statement. They did not. So, I contacted them again. I also asked, how could someone open a credit card with my address when they never lived at my address. They were just as confused as I was. They promised to stop sending the statements.
I know this person's name from the credit card statements (obviously), so I attempted to contact him. None of his information is available online except his place of employment. He's a doctor. I call the hospital, and they were 0 help in getting in touch with him (not surprisingly). So, that was a dead end.
Next, I get a ticket from the Massachusetts DOT. This is for a different individual, but with the same last name. At this point, I'm concerned. So, I contact the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS). They mentioned that this could be a case of mail fraud, and opened a case.
Satisfied with the USPIS handling the case, I go back to living my life. Today, I receive a call from my insurance broker stating that they need to confirm that there is a new driver at my address. Guess who? Same guy.
Also, I opened a brokerage account and during the verification process, they had this individual listed as someone who was associated with my address.
Question:
What else can I do legally to have this person disassociated with my address? Are there any other risks about this situation that I should be concerned about?
