Re: credit fraud

There are some steps you can take immediately to make sure that your credit is not damaged any further. The first thing to do is pull your credit reports from all three credit reporting agencies, Experian, Equifax and Trans Union. Identify the accounts opened in your name that do not belong to you. Pay attention to the "inquires" section of the reports which list the name of each creditor who has pulled your report to determine if there are any pending applications. Contact the creditors immediately, report the fraud and make sure any new applications are stopped and that existing accounts are closed. Ask for copies of all applications, statements and charge slips. Tell the credit reporting agencies to put a fraud alert on your credit reports so that when you apply for credit, your identity is confirmed before new accounts are opened. Make a report to your local police department.

You could bring a lawsuit against the person who did this. Whether it is worthwhile to sue may depend on whether the person you are suing has assets so that you can collect any judgment you obtain.
