A couple months ago I received a letter from Harley Davidson "welcoming me" to a HOG membership. Considering the fact that DH works for Harley Davidson, I figured it was just because I was his wife and didn't think much of it. I just now received a title in the mail for an actual motorcycle, with my name, address (in MN), and my date of birth! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This means someone purchased a bike with my name, DOB and social security number! And it's probably on my credit now!    What do I do????????

Hi there,
I work in the police station and we report a lot of frauds and deceptions just like what has happened to you and you MUSt report it to your local police station. Unfortunately, people do this kinda stuff all the time.
Good luck!

call them and ask about it. then get in touch with the states attorney's office about it. or call the cops. they'll help too. thats identity theft and a federal offense.

I'm not trying to be a smart @$$ here....but any chance Hubby bought one and is hidding it somewhere?
If not... then report it to the police and then contact the people who sent you the title and ask them to please advise you on the next step. Maybe they can provide the dealer info so you can report to them?

First of all call everybody you have an open account with and change everthing!!!! Make sure you call your bank so who ever can't get at you money in the bank!!! Then Call the place the bike was bought at. It should be on the title!! Tell them what happened!! Then find out what bank the loan is through and get ahold of them!!! You may even want to call the cops and report it!! That way you have proof that your identy has been stolen!!! This is all I can think of. JEEZZ O PETES!!! I am so sorry this is happing to you Rachel!! I hope everthing works out!!!

Yes, you should report it to the police ASAP. You also should report it to the three credit agencies (Equifax, TransUnion, &
Experian). It's a pain to deal with, but if you nip it in the bud you can save yourself extra grief.

Yikes!!! I don't really have any advice to add. I had my credit cards stolen about 2 years ago. A women came into my office and stole them from my purse. The credit card company called me and said they wanted to verify some charges that were made. I told them I hadn't made any charges because I was at work! It was a big mess. They ended up charging about $5,000. It took a while to get it removed from my record and I never had to pay any of it but it was a very stressful thing to deal with! Good luck!

Just echoing what everyone else has said... call the police first, then start calling everyone else... credit cards, banks, etc. Holy smoke. That seriously stinks!! *hugs*
