Otherwise, not joking here, join Prepaid Legal Services and even though this is a pre-existing situation, there will be some discounting of fees. But more importantly, they are obligated to deal with your issues. They will use

Interestingly, they also have a identity shield part of their services (like prepaid legal, but separate, but same umbrella), so that would have been good to have had, since I think you would get extra ability to resolve all these things. Not sure if that is worth adding as well at this point, other than monitoring your identity and getting coverage for new events.

The costs are like $25 a month for the prepaid and $10 for the identity thing. BUT, you WILL get a return phone call and a lawyer to start working on your behalf, there in Louisiana as well as within their network. Good luck.

Prepaid legal is now called LegalShield (www.legalshield.com) Prepaid legal was acquired by the company that offers the Identity Shield product, called Kroll.

First, everything iron error and bazoka said about the prepaid legal is true. It's a good product. The firm in New Orleans (and I think they handle all of LA) is well regarded, and they are well-paid to ensure their services meet your satisfaction. Their (bazoka and iron error's) advice is good.

Kroll (look 'em up) is an international investigation company that has been around for a long time. This is the company that does background investigations for the federal government. Their identity protection product is very different from the ilk of LifeLock (which is terrible) for two reasons: they protect against ID theft against more than just credit (i.e. medical, SSN, etc) and part of their guarantee is to use their network of investigators, et al to resolve your issue.

Obviously your circumstance is a little different, because you are coming to them after the fact, but I would think they could help you (for a price, most likely), whether through the legal side or the identity resolution side.

And I am not affiliated, other than being a client of both services. I do have a contact I can direct you to if you need a sales rep.
