Tenant who I'm trying to evict is possibly a totally different person.

Hello BP members, it has come to my attention that the tenant who I'm trying to evict for non-payment is possibly a totally different person. How I found out is during my attempt to offer a solution on paying rent using money order since the tenant had their ACH bounced twice on Apartments.com. I offered a temporary solution of asking to have rent Zelle'd to me, but upon clicking on the tenant's Zelle profile through my bank app, it was listed under a totally different person's name. I decided to dig farther, I went back and pulled up their report along with the provided bank statement and one of the account which was listed under a business name I inputted into INBiz and the registered agent for the business belong to the same name listed on the Zelle profile and the address on the bank statement also matched the registered business address. The lease that I had the tenant sign is to the tenant who applied. I feel so stupid for missing this detail when I screened the tenant. I don't know what I should do, since the tenant who I'm trying to evict may not be who they are.

Just start eviction and the order will say any and all occupants. You’re in Indiana it should all be pretty fast.
