OVERTON, Texas — In a case of identity fraud, Joseph Zalman IV isn’t just battling his credit. He’s trying to prove that he is, in fact, alive.
“I mean I can’t deny it. I’m stuck,” said Zalman, who is Fire Captain of the Overton Fire Department. “One after another, the banks and everything started saying that I was deceased. I’ve got to pay cash out of pocket, that’s it. There’s not a way for me to get credit for anything.”
Zalman says his wife was the first to be notified of his so-called “death” last October, via a letter in the mail. “The letter said that they were sorry to hear of my passing,” Zalman said.
