They are using my cell phone number.

You need to find an expert in Cell Phone Technology like the guys on Catfish, who can show that someone cloned your phone and is sending messages pretending to be you from the clone. People masquerade as others all the time. It has been an email problem for about 15 years.

If you entered a plea at a time when you were not thinking clearly due to the stroke, you might want to have your plea withdrawn. Discuss this with your lawyer. If it was a 'good deal', and there are no problems of proof,for the DA, you may not want to. You might be looking at more time... View More

Who knows what the future may hold? I don't have a crystal ball that will tell me what could happen at some time in the future.
Sometimes the only way to get something done is to do it yourself. As long as you don't impersonate someone else, or misuse another's identity for... View More

If PC 632 applies to you, you can sue both. Your post indicates that you are in Colorado Springs. If that is true, section 632 may not apply to your benefit. That issue hasn't really been decided. If federal law applies to interstate calls, only 1 party need consent. Not sure what... View More

I got a business school loan refinanced by local bank. At the time it seem like their policy was not to report the debt to credit bureaus. Four years later with a perfect payment history they decided to report it. It didn’t hurt my credit score but it did hurt my debt to income ratio and now... View More

You have a right to accuracy. If it's inaccurate you have a claim.
I freelance as a QB accountant and doing this for one of my clients. Their bank produced years of checks, but can only tell me which financial institution they were presented. I need to find out the name and account number from the respective banks. It is several thousand dollars.

more info needed.
have you tried to do this informally?
you would have to file a lawsuit as I see it.
maybe you can file in small claims for up to $10k and subpoena with that lawsuit. If the matter is only a few thousand small claims may be your answer.

My daughter when to a car dealer to buy a new car and she gave the dealer my car that we own together as "AND" on the Title. Can the dealer legally take the car without my signature? Can I legally go to the dealer and ask for my car? I reside in California.

Legally? Probably not. But, that rarely stops a car dealer! Try the dmv investigations unit, as they police dealers...
Can he or she sue? This is without his permission.

No. Both are separate branches of the superior court, but both have separate functions: a criminal court adjudicates criminal law matters and a probate court adjudicates matters affecting trusts and estates.

I was charged with grand theft last year because the items were rung up as being over $950, $956 to be exact. Having the sales tax included in the total makes my case a felony instead of a misdemeanor. The deal i was given does not fit my crime. But instead if looking at what happened, all the... View More

Generally sales tax is NOT included in determining the loss just as "sale" prices don't apply. They both only apply to actual "purchases" not theft.
I find it hard to believe the DA included tax and your lawyer should make a Motion to Reduce to a Misdemeanor at the Preliminary Hearing.
Good luck!

You are certainly allowed to ask the person you suspected that stole your identity to provide you with restitution even before their case is settled. Don't threaten them or offer anything in exchange, simply ask that they make you whole again. If they are smart they will realize that paying... View More

I'm sorry for your ordeal here. You could contact the State Bar of California - they have resources for free legal help that you could explore. They are located in the section of their website, "Public." Good luck
