Veteran blames VA for identity theft

HENDRICKS COUNTY (WISH) - A former Marine living in Hendricks County says she’s a victim of identity theft and places the blame on the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Sherry Lowhorn says someone who lives 179 miles away ran up a $1200 cable bill in her name. And, now she has a collection agency after her for the bill.

Just six weeks ago, Lowhorn was interviewed by 24-Hour News 8 after she received a box full of someone else’s medical records from the VA.

She sent the records back to the VA but isn’t confident someone did the same with her records.
