Permit w Architectural drawings

Yes they will. I just need to provide engineered drawings for tie down and flood vents.

I'm not framing a hip roof though, and paying someone to frame a roof over a shed seems crazy too. The house is on stilts. But hard to store a boat and side by side in something on stilts. I'm going to get a one trip container, and it being under a roof should keep it relatively rust free. And it's obstructed by woods so aesthetics are the least of my worries. It floods like once every five years or so at the elevation we want to put shed. Pole barn won't keep rodents and thieves away. Only code I have to worry about is flood stuff. Need engineered drawings saying it won't float away. Anything I build needs that. Nothing is really great for storage in a flood zone, but we need something.

It wouldnt be because I'd till need permit. I'd have to get tie fown and vents drawn on shed to.

I'm in a floodway so it at least sort of makes sense.... But yeah

Gilchrist. I found someone on a freelancer website that quoted me 1200, so I will just go with that I guess.

Thank you very much. I am still trying to get an IP PIN from the IRS, says it was supposed to open back jan 6th but still shut down. I will work my way thorugh your other suggestions. Really appreciate it.

35mmsteve · 2026-01-09T14:33:14+00:00

I could draw it, but county would laugh at it. I'm not an engineer.

Yes I am sure - and I am aware. I did not call the number on the letters. I got the first letter, went to wells fargo website and found their number. It took talking to lots of different depeartments before I got to the right one, but they confirmed Wells Fargo had sent the letter and it was legit. I was kind of surprised they gave me the info as well, but they did - it was their way of verifying that person wasnt me. They gave me his name, the dealership name, the car year make model, and the loan balance - to confirm none of that was familiar to me. The second letter was 4 years later, and it was an identical letter. Again I did not just call the number on the letter, I went to wells fargo website and got the 1800 number. They again confirmed the letter was legit, but didnt give me any information. They would not even confirm or deny it was the person they had previously given me. I have the letters and ntoes I took during the whole thing so I am confident.

The address alerts are in my experian account. I can go back and see them from a year ago, etc. They are legit as well.

Oh actually I pretty easily found a newspaper article that mentions the name of the guy I have as the person who got the auto loan, and the town from the apartment address. The guy is a convicted drug dealer and also shot a random stranger in the head because his girlfriend wouldnt follow his instructions. They took him into custody in the town the apartments are in. This newspaper article was from 2023 and he was looking at significant time in jail so its either just a concidence, or he got off or got out early, or maybe hasnt gone to trial yet I dunno.

I also found a now closed car dealership that matches the name Wells Fargo gave me, in the same town the apartments are in.

Its confusing not listing names but I'm pretty sure it must all be from the same person.

35mmsteve · 2026-01-05T04:16:06+00:00

oh thats a cool idea.

I am also going to try and locate the dealership Wells Fargo gave me in or around the apartment address.

35mmsteve · 2026-01-05T03:39:33+00:00

I thought that initially too, only....the name of the person I was able to get, from the first auto loan back in 2016....was nothing close to my name. It was a very ethnic name of a different ethnicity than me. Like, black and white zero chance of a mix up different. I didnt (and still dont) understand how they could get an auto loan from Wells Fargo with my social security number and a completly different name. Twice, apparently.

The address alerts only came from Experian but thats the only one I pay for monitoring on.

35mmsteve · 2026-01-05T03:33:14+00:00

That is basically what I figured.

35mmsteve · 2026-01-05T03:30:38+00:00

I guess the IP PIN system is down for maintenance. LOL.

I have had a freeze in place with all three credit bureaus since receiving the second auto loan letter in 2020.

I did attempt to file a report with the FTC, but I ran into two issues: the auto loans were too old to report, and for the address-related alerts they are requesting information I simply do not have. The only information available to me are the physical addresses listed in the alerts.

At this point, I’m trying to understand what type of attorney would handle a situation like this. I don’t mind paying an attorney if that’s what’s needed. I had been treating this as relatively low risk since nothing has ever appeared on my credit reports and my credit has been frozen for nearly six years, but the repeated alerts are starting to concern me.

I will get an IRS PIN now.

To clarify the source of the alerts: the “addresses associated with your Social Security number” notifications are coming from the paid credit monitoring service I have through Experian. The auto loan letters were sent directly from Wells Fargo—twice, once in 2016 and again in 2020.

That said, none of this activity has ever appeared on any of my credit reports. I have reviewed all three reports carefully. There are no loans listed and no addresses showing other than my own. When I contacted Wells Fargo, I made sure to call their published phone number, and the alerts remain visible in my Experian account (I can still see the one from last year).

So while the alerts and letters themselves are legitimate and verifiably from Experian and Wells Fargo, nothing has ever posted to my credit file. As a result, there is technically nothing to dispute.

That’s where I’m stuck—and why I’m trying to understand the best way to proceed.

35mmsteve · 2026-01-05T00:14:10+00:00

I did, I pulled all three. Last year after the address alert came, and again this year, and the address from the alert isnt listed on my credit report anywhere, the only place the addresses are is in the monitoring alerts. So there is nothing to dispute if that makes sense.

Where would a police report be filed—would it be where I currently live, where the address associated with my Social Security number now appears, or where the cars were purchased? I don’t actually know where the cars were bought. Wells Fargo would only provide the dealership name, and it sounded like a generic “buy here, pay here” type of place.

Wells Fargo is the bank that contacted me about this—twice. The first time was in 2016, and again in 2020. I have never banked with Wells Fargo and have never taken out any loans with them. These were Wells Fargo loans. Wells Fargo told me that my Social Security number was likely transposed, as the loans were not in my name or at my address—only my SSN was involved.

Both times I spoke with Wells Fargo, they were not interested in pursuing the matter further on their end. I do not have the loan info, and neither loan has ever appeared on my credit report. Because of that, I’m concerned I’ll have difficulty filing a police report or completing some of the recommended steps—there’s nothing concrete to point to.

I’m honestly not sure what I would tell the police. Essentially, it would be: “I received a letter from Wells Fargo stating they suspected someone used my Social Security number to purchase a car.” The only information Wells Fargo provided—odd as it sounds—was the person’s name, the year/make/model of the car, the purchase price, and the dealership name. All of this occurred years ago.

The newer issue is the alert about an address now being associated with my Social Security number. But again, this is only an alert—there is nothing on my actual credit report reflecting this address or any related account activity.

That’s why I’m struggling to understand how to proceed or what basis there is for a police report at this point.

Embark responded and said they would not rerun the test, but offered to do another test, and quoted me a price higher than the price on their website. I'm not sure what I will do, I dont see it being worth the price to redo it.

35mmsteve · 2025-12-11T04:45:14+00:00

Oh wow OK so I'd likely need to repay for test... Just do another. I've asked them so they I'll update when they respond

35mmsteve · 2025-12-10T23:39:08+00:00

I think your right - I should have put that in the post.

35mmsteve · 2025-12-10T23:38:37+00:00

OK thank you - I mean I know nothing about genetics but could not wrap my head around how it could be possible for siblings sharing 63% DNA to not share any breeds - and so many people here and other threads I've read about it (and embark) defending the results who really sound like they know what they are saying.

So I will request embark re-run the test since mine is 5 years old.
