What to do if landlord is up to fraudulent behavior using the personal information of others?
admin | Apr 22, 2010 | Comments 5
I recently useful for an apartment for rent by confidential owner. I provided my personal information when filling out the rental application. I now feel the woman never had plans to rent the house, and is using an “apartment for rent” as a front to obtain the personal information of others to commit fraud.
It turns out, my co-worker happens to know this woman personally, and says she recently filed bankruptcy, does not own the property, and was renting it from a relative.
What should I do? If the above is right, she’ll deny we met. This woman has my social security number, personal information, and more. Is there any way to caution when someone pulls your credit to apply for an apartment? I don’t reckon those type of credit inquiries appear on credit reports.
What should I do to prevent fraudulent behavior? There are Michigan laws protecting landlords, what about those for tenants?

i reckon you should report this person to the police and let them check in to it
If you reckon Fraudulent thoings are going on comtact your local Police department and they will find out. I would also make an updated copy of your credit report. It will caution you if anyone has been trying to buy things with your info. If they haave then take that to the police department
Hope this helps – if you are truly concerned I would contact the Attorney General’s Office and question about your rights and how you can ensure your privacy rights.

Initially of all you have to verify your information If you are just guessing, no one will listen to you. It would be excellent that you have more than one example and you have interview the people unnatural initially. When your case seem solid enough, take your information the the police immediately.
Anytime someone pulls your credit, it shows up on your credit report. Contact the three reporting agencies and order a current credit report. It will show both any fraudelent activity and if she pulled your credit.
Excellent Luck…
