Generally, a person has to pead guilty or "no contest" (which is the same thing as pleading guilty) in order for them to be placed on probation. And if you pleaded either of those, I'd say you are really out of luck. Then I would ask why you would do such a thing knowing you were not... Read more »
If your identity was used to file a liability claim and theres an account for compensation in your name, how do you get the claim file for law enforcement when the company is refusing to cooperate?
answered on Nov 22, 2021

Good Luck!

Contact law enforcement if you believe a crime was committed. Contact a civil attorney if you want to file suit for return of the money.

If she has put you in a false light by using this photo, then you may have a claim against her. You should first ask her to remove the photo immediately (in writing) though as an alternative to filing a lawsuit.

Why is this posted under the Criminal Law topic? Taking out a loan is not a crime. Do you suspect fraud?

Please be more specific. How can you say it is your "first time" if you have 2 previous theft convictions or probations? I'd say if you have 2 priors you are likely to be prosecuted fully, in the sense that you may not be offered probation at all. You should contact a qualified... Read more »
