Yeah, I'm calling to see. My father passed away last July, and when I was backpacking about 15 years ago,

we created a power of attorney to kind of protect me when I was

traveling as I had one experience where all my stuff got stolen. What I didn't know was that over the last

15 years, he had taken out about $520,000 worth of high interest mortgages. In your name?

And in my name. Wow. That feels like fraud to me.

Yeah.

So, yeah, I'm just kind of, at first, it was one of those things where I just didn't know if I should go to the courts for that because I was defensive and protecting my father.

But since now it's been almost a year and it's not really

been cleaned up at all. And I'm kind of not sure what to do financially. Oh, gosh. So have you,

you have reported it or not yet? I haven't. Okay. No. I think that's the first step, right?

It is you can see this thing on your credit report, so kind of saying this,

this wasn't me, this was my dad, and yeah, the fact he's, he's no longer with us. What are those

next steps? Yeah. Sorry, when I did, I speak to one lawyer at the beginning, and he said because

I had a power of attorney that my dad was legally able to do this on my behalf. That's kind of all the

legal advice I've been given. Okay. Yeah. So I and I did sign it, but in 2011, I believe. So yeah,

I'm kind of just not sure where to go now with that debt loan. The good news is this is secure

debt. So there's properties attached to this that you could sell?

They all have mortgages on them, yes.

But unfortunately, all the evaluations are inflated.

So the mortgages are actually worth more than the property.
