Legal Question


I had a realtor steal my identity. I made an offer to Edina reality to purchase a home. I had to send them an earnest check. The house was already sold to someone else but he did not tell me this until after I sent him the check. I did not get the house but he got all my personal information and my checking account numbers.

He was arrested about a year later. He had an id with his picture but all my information on it. I checked my bank statements I was able to stop payment on everything he did. So as far as I know he did not get away with any of my money. I am worried about what he might have all done using my identity, and how much of it is going to haunt me in the future.

Can I sue him and Edina reality, and for how much?

I should add that the realtor that I sent my earnest check to is friends with the realtor that was arrested with my identity. They both work for Edina reality.
