An Omaha woman whose identity was stolen by a cousin five years ago still finds herself being victimized.

Rachel Galvan is days away from realizing her dream. "To be a nurse, take care of kids.” Rachel worries about getting her nursing license and a job if court records are misdiagnosed. “It wasn't me, she did something wrong, this should go onto her."

Five years ago a cousin stole Rachel’s identity and used her name when arrested on three charges. Proof of the ID theft has erased Rachel’s name from law enforcement criminal records, but it remains on the state court computer for past filings. You have to wonder, though it says "dismissed," how an employer might react.

Nick Jasa runs One Source, a leading background checker for companies hiring new employees. “When you see 'dismissed' you think plea agreement or bargain, maybe turned the other guy in, so it will influence an employer, so it's very unfortunate for her it's on her report."

Nebraska Health and Human Service says the court record showing “dismissed” charges will not affect Rachel’s nursing license application, but she may need to hire an attorney to clear her name. “’Cause that's showing it could have been me, that doesn't prove that it wasn't me at all," says Rachel.

“It needs to be completely taken off of her record,” says Rachel’s mother Josephine Alcaraz. “It wasn't even her and she shouldn't have to pay to do that."

Being a victim of identity theft, Rachel might have to put that on a resume so prospective employers know it's her name, but not her with a court record.

Six On Your Side made several calls to find out who can correct Rachel's court record. The Washington County attorney pointed us to the state court administrator. That office sent us back to the county attorney who is unsure she has the power to change a court record.

In the end, Rachel may have to hire an attorney to file a motion.
