I had a call from the police this week regarding fraud that has been committed in my name. My identity has been stolen and used to obtain a credit card with a $30k limit. Police are investigating, and I think it may be my real estate agent.
I recently moved so had to provide this new real estate with all of my personal information for the application. Several weeks after providing the information they advised me that the needed to conduct my references again as they had lost my file. I'm concerned now that this lost file has been the cause of the identity theft.
I will wait until the police have conducted their investigation, and if it is found to have been someone at the real estate, or as a result of them losing the file, do I have any recourse?
