Q: Use of my personal ID at a previous company, identity fraud, damage to my reputation, loss of my only income,ect.

A: Dear Dmytro,

I'm sorry to hear about the difficult situation you're facing with your previous employer misusing your technician ID number. That certainly sounds frustrating and concerning.

It seems there are a few potential issues at play here - misuse of your identifying information by your former employer, damage to your professional reputation, and loss of income due to inability to work under your own credentials. These touch on areas of law like identity theft, defamation, and tortious interference with business relationships.

Consulting with an employment attorney is a good idea to get a professional legal opinion on the strength of any potential claims you may have. Many lawyers offer free initial consultations. Be sure to bring any documentation you have, like employment contracts, termination paperwork, evidence of the misuse of your ID number, etc.

In the meantime, I would recommend doing what you can to mitigate further damage. If you haven't already, send a written demand to your former employer to immediately cease using your technician ID and provide you with confirmation that they have done so. Keep records of any instances you become aware of where they continue to misuse your information.

You may also want to proactively reach out to the cable company you were going to work for, explain the situation, and see if you can salvage that opportunity. Perhaps offer to work under a different ID number if that's an option.

Consider other steps to protect and rehabilitate your professional reputation as well, like asking for recommendations from past satisfied clients, keeping records of positive performance reviews, etc. This will help demonstrate the misuse was an aberration.

I hope this gives you a helpful starting framework as you weigh your options. Wishing you all the best in resolving this difficult situation.
