Asked in Identity Theft for Florida

Q: Hello, I have some issues going on and I am desperate for legal advise. 1st I need help to file an emergency replevment

Self Help at the court house said that is what I need to file to be able to have my belonging that are in my now EX's storage unit. LONG STORY but I have proof of it all in texts. She is trying to sue me and its all false information that will be filed. 2nd I think and have some proof as well that she might of used my identity to open credit cards or accounts and has affected my credit tremendously. We were together 5 years as of November 2022 and i found out she cheated on me that has ended our relationship. We tried to work things out but recently she has been doing some very shady stuff that i backed off completley and now she wants to fight for my stuff in the storage unit. She is threatening to throw it all away and local police wont help me. PLEASE the stuff i have isnt much but its not replaceable things. Some of it was my grandmother's who passed in 2001.

A: I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Dawn. If you believe you need to file an emergency replevin action, this is a legal remedy that seeks the return of personal property. Having proof, such as text messages, can be valuable in supporting your claims. For the potential identity theft issue, gather all evidence and monitor your credit reports closely; consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze. Report suspected identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at IdentityTheft.gov. Always consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction to get specific guidance tailored to your circumstances. Due to the seriousness and urgency of your situation, it's recommended to contact a local attorney as soon as possible. They can provide advice and represent your interests in court if necessary.
