It's not clear to me that it's the bank's fault. The court must've done some kind of discovery to send the bank a garnish order. So was the bank lazy and just took money from a similar named account without checking the details? Or did the court identify the wrong defendant and issue a garnish order for the wrong person?

> If you know a little bit about legal procedure dealing with something like this shouldn't be too hard.

Well, responses on here vary from "sue the bank, it's their fault," to "contact/sue the LASD, it's their fault" to "contact the plaintiff's lawyers, they'll fix it" to "contact the defendant's lawyers, they'll pay for it or else."

So clearly, this is likely to cost more than a couple afternoons.

One day, a sheriff showed up at my home and confiscated my guns. Turns out some lunatic that I don't even know had filed a domestic abuse restraining order against me and the state I was in grants a temporary order by default. Took 2 months to resolve this and cost me about $6k in legal fees. Took several months to get my guns back.

While that's not the same as "you're not actually the guy named in the lawsuit", it illustrates how disruptive this kind of thing can be.

MD here. Is your father-in-law suggesting that several doctors he works with aren't legitimate physicians?

It seems a bit hard to believe. I've had to apply for medical licenses in 3 states, and it was a colossal pain the ass for each. Took 4 months the first time; and I have a completely clean record. Getting hospital privileges takes forever, too.

If fact, I think it should be easier, especially for those of us who did medical school, residency, and exams in the US.

Best doctor that I know failed 2 of his USMLE exams.
