Hello adv.
So I have reason to believe one of my parents stole my identity at an early age.
Yeah I know its fucked. USA btw.
>I have my fathers same exact name
>I think that when I was very young either one of them or both, took a car out in my name
>We're poor-ish.
>It wouldn't surprise me if my family did this thinking nothing bad could happen
>found out was this was like a year ago
>I was filling out a college FAFSA
>One thing to verify my identity is it was asking me previous addresses I have lived on and stuff
>One question was "which of these cars is under your name"
>Every question gave a none option, sort of like a trick question
>for the car one my family actually had one of those cars
>At the end of that survey it said "your information does not match..."
>long story short i completed that fafsa
>but I've always been left wondering if my parents took out a car in my name.
How can I find out whether they did or not?

Just be persuasive when you ask them about the stupid real info. Also get timing done right.

Get your free annual credit report (search for that phrase) and hope it dates back far enough to include the car loan/purchase/thing.

Looked into this on google, most people say contact the dealer, but i have no history of that.

Your parents couldn't buy a car in your name when you were underage. Minors can't enter contracts.
What is FAR more likely is that FAFSA found a car in your father's name and, not knowing you have the same name, thought it was you. Send them a note explaining the name mix-up
And it would be wise in the future for you to be John Smith Jr or John Smith II. (You don't need to go to court to make that change)

Good to know. Like I said, the FAFSA stuff was dealt with, not worried about that. I was more worried about outstanding debt for a car or something, or falsely accusing my parents. I just needed proof.
