you see a individual using a fake id with all my information rented some vehicles and did not return them this rental company did not take a photo copy of this persons id or credit card couple years later i get picked up on a arrest warrant for grand theft auto evidence has concluded in court i was not that person and charges were droped so can i file a lawsuit i was in jail for 44 days.
Truth B
Lawyers offer free consultation. Go talk to a few. With no other reason to hold you to hold you I would think you would have been released on your own recognizance. Ask who ever defended you why the 44 days in jail. If the court found reason to set bail and bail was not posted then you need to check recourse.

if you can prove that it wasn't you and you know who it was then you could sue that person. not the rental company due to the fact they "saw" your wannabes id and it said they were you they did there job just like the police did there and brought you in

there is no law stating a rental company has to take a photo copy of id or a credit card - many companies have a policy on it, but they aren't legally obligated. The rental company is not liable for your troubles, the person who stole your identity is...they had no idea it wasn't you at the time. If they find who stole your identity you can go after them for damages.
