(Not a Legal Question?)

We know who is doing this, we just can't prove it, YET? We have been receiving Invoices for Magazines, Sponsor A Child, Ultra Matic Beds, Chatelaine Magazines and more in our names. The problem is, we haven't requested any of it. We have recieved one copy of a card he filled in to which proves neither my wife or myself filled in this application with our Profile. We notified the police to which they said, once he starts spending our money then we can have him charged. What are our options in this matter?

Optional Information:
Kitchener, Canada

Already Tried:
We have received 2 out of the 8 things he has signed us up for with his hand printing on them. We have called the police. They can't do anything yet, until he spends our money.

Hello,

The issue here is three fold.

1. Harassment,
2. Incurring debt on the name of another.
3. Fraud.

Have a good look at the "order" card and see if anywhere there is a "signature" requirement, you can establish fraud to induce debt on another. This is a type of harassment.

ASSUMING YOU CAN PROVE WHO DID THIS

You can go to the Small Claims Court and file for the maximum allowable for nuisance, harassment, and fraud.

The Small Claims is at 20 Weber E (corner of Weber and Frederick) (if they are in KWC. If the are not in KWC you need to file in the area they are located in.)

You should also ask to file an injunction preventing the person from doing this in future.

Let me know if you have any more questions. Otherwise click ACCEPT to close.

Cheers

I appreciate your advice. We have noticed that this guy is printing our names and address plus Our Telephone number. We have just a few minutes ago received yet another Copy of the paper this guy signed us up with via fax. We now have 2 documents that we believe have been printed out via him. We have also just gotten off the phone with the Waterloo Regional Police Fraud Squad. They can phone this guy or we can leave it for now was what they suggested. We said we will give it ia couple more weeks and see what else he has signed us up for. Other than that, I don't think we have enough proof that he is going this. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you so much for your input and it is grately appreciated.

I am happy with your answers and thought I clicked the link Accept on Friday Nov. 16, 2007. My apologies for not doing so which appears I didn't. I would also like to thank you for your support in this matter. We have spoken with Waterloo Regional Police, Fraud Dept. and have been advised that we will continue to gather more info to help nail this guy. The police said they would call him if we wanted on Friday but that could tip this guy off even more than he already is, so by waiting, we will continue to retrieve more Applications that he is filling out in our names then have the police request a hand writing analysis at WUV. Thanks again, we really do appreciate your support. Hope to be able to use you again in the near future if neccessary.
