Identity Theft and Repair

Identity theft is a crime that occurs when your personal information is taken without your knowledge and used to commit a fraud.
We have all seen the stories on the news.  And as this crime has become more common, most of us know someone who has been a victim of identity theft.  This may not be the same as coming home to find your house ransacked.  But that is not much comfort to someone who has lost their savings, or, even worse, someone who has been forced into bankruptcy.  Or, imagine not being able to see a doctor because someone has stolen your medical identity. 

As our identity becomes more cyberized, we become more vulnerable to identity theft.

No one wants to have to worry whether their credit card will work when it is time to pay for dinner.  And no one wants to have to try to repair the damage done by thieves who have purchased cars, vacations, medical procedures, or run up huge bills, using your good name.

Identity thieves use several techniques.  Some identity thieves look through your trash.  Others use computer programs that search for information on the internet.  The end result is the same.  The damage to your credit and daily life can be devastating.  Identity theft victims often are unable to get new credit cards or loans because their credit ratings are harmed so badly.  All these thieves need in order to ruin lives is a name, date of birth and social security number.
