(CHICAGO) A Florida man faces up to 3 years in prison after pleading guilty to impersonating U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin in order to avoid paying off his home loan.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in south Florida says 67-year-old Sidney Hines pleaded guilty this week. Prosecutors say Hines secured a HomeSaver Advance loan of $5,864 for his home in October 2008, then failed to make the payments.
He then called a collection agency five times in 2013 and 2014, claiming to be Sen. Durbin, saying the loan had been paid in full and it should be removed from his credit report
