Q: I was fraudulently charged and it's still in my background by charging and allowing my sister to use my name and social.

After being told she was on a roster with my name I called the police station. They said they'd taken care of it but I lost my job and it's still on there. I can't get another job with fingerprinted backgrounds. This has kept me from any good work.
