Yes, looking back this was a mistake, but I would never have imagined that it would go this bad...

At some point, one guy did mention something about having my identify verified through a notary if I could back to the US, but he could not guarantee this would work. Also, I read a bunch of other complaints saying that trying this was just way for them to keep you quiet for some time. But I'll keep this in mind as a last resort, thanks

Do you have a US embassy or consulate nearby? If so, they are able to provide identity proofing services.

A notary should be able to verify your identity in France as well. That's one of their main services. I think this is one of those situations where you have to send them legalise for them to feel reassured.
