Thompson Family Fraud

I was finally moving to Austin, landing my dream software job.

The apartment search was the last hurdle before my new life truly began.

Then the leasing office called.

My credit was flagged, not for me, but for 'Thompson Family Ventures LLC' – a company I' d never heard of, with massive unpaid taxes and delinquent loans, all tied to my name. My Uncle Rick was behind it.

Turns out my dad knew about it, dismissing it as 'just a formality' even as my apartment application hung in limbo.
