What do i do with this unique form of identity theft?
I have so much identity theft from a corrupt mortgage broker (most likely). I paid on two cards for at least six months, which was so stupid. In december, enough was enough and I stopped paying. I have finally started to take action. My attorney says that these can still be proven, but I see little hope. Anybody out there that works in this field? Freemason here.
My company works on Identity theft. The things that the other people have posted here are good steps to follow.
But I wouldn't stop doing internet transactions. I have never known anyone becoming a victim of ID theft from doing transactions over the net accept for when the company you are doing business with gets hacked and that can happen to any company whether you use your credit card on line by phone or in person.
The average Identity theft case takes an average of 600 hours and $1500.00 to clear up and even then you may not get the problem solved.
What everyone needs but almost no one has is Identity theft protection.

Have you contacted the card companies directly. You can dispute charges quite easily. Good luck, sounds like a serious situation.

Report to the police along with as much information you have.
They may forward you to another bureau or task force, most should have 800 numbers.

Been there!
Contact your bank and quit doing internet transactions.

flag your credit bureau accounts so no new credit lines can be opened without them calling you at your home number.
Also– it might not be who you think it is. All of those places sell your personal info when you close a real estate deal. I started to get a lot of offers and these offers showed up unsolicited with all my personal data in them, enough so that if someone stole my mail they could have stolen my identity. Get yourself out of the junk mail lists and tell every lender, utility, cell phone, bank, anyone you do business with that you do not want your name sold to anyone else.
