CHESTERLAND, Ohio (WJW) – Linda Roseum was hoping to get documents to the IRS quickly after she found out she was a victim of identity theft.
“I got a letter in January from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services telling me that someone used my identity to get unemployment benefits,” Roseum told the FOX 8 I-TEAM Thursday. “My CPA told me I needed to fill out this specific form, write down all the details and get it to the IRS as quickly as possible. So I did and took it to the post office in Chesterland. I sent it certified mail so I could make sure someone got it.”
Roseum said she mailed it February 1. On February 5 she got a notice from the post office that it would be arriving late. As of Thursday, it still has not arrived.
“When I call the local office here in Chesterland they tell me it’s probably sitting in that pile of all that stuff I have seen on the news,” Roseum said. “ I saw the piles of mail FOX 8 showed but I told them that stuff was before Christmas. This is a new letter mailed in February. No one seems to know where it is at and that is frustrating.” Read more at Fox 8 Cleveland
