Identity Theft Victim's House has Loans Against It, Rented out to Tenants

I have been away from the United States since the past 4 years. Recently, I wanted to sell my house in California and contacted several real estate agents to discuss with them a listing for the house. I was informed by these realtors that my house has been rented to individuals that I am not aware or have agreed to rent my house. Some one is collecting the rent amounts on my house, further more I have also found out that upon checking with our county records a certain individual has used my name and arranged to fake my signature , made a power of attorney in my name and received loans on my property, bought a business in my name and has accumulated a huge amount of financial burden on my name.
