Yes, a huge hassle. Back in 1998 someone opened a Sears account in my name with my SS# from an address in Brooklyn. I don't know the address, don't know anyone there. I fought the charges with the collection agencies, I signed affidavits, and I relentlessly pursued the removal of the bogus charges on my credit report.

Ten years later, I am still dealing with collections calls on that account. I tell them the same thing--not my account, I've been over this a hundred times, signed affidavits with law enforcement, and will never pay anything on the account. At which time, the collection agency sells it back to another of their affiliates, and the process starts over.

I've asked for the original document where I signed for that account, and of course that can never be produced since it doesn't exist, at least not with my signature. So we'll see. I wish I knew what the thief got from Sears which has caused me so much hassle--a power saw and a new dishwasher??????

Hola Alberto,

What he really needs is Real Help. All the AG's office will do is fill a piece of paper and filed it with the other 27,000 who are being victimized every week. They don't have the resources or intentions of helping with such a small issues. Unfortunately for the public, eh?

Ray

ps, that is why we need to let people know about the effects of IDT & the solutions available.

You are so right. Unless you have the right tools or the rights knowledge it is a nightmare. When you get a chance drop me a line. The company a represent has a Unique Identity Theft Protection service that; Monitors, and Restores to the Pre-theft Status.

Your story combined with our services would make a great positive impact on those becoming victims of Identity Theft.

Crimeware is a type of software or software that was specifically designed for the implementation of financial crimes in online environments. The term was created by Peter Cassidy, Secretary General of the Anti-Phishing Working Group to distinguish it from other types of malware.

I do workshops for the elderly on the subject of identity theft as a rep for my bank. According to the Federal Trade Commission 1 in 3 Americans will be victimes of ID Theft in their lifetime. These stats are alarming as in 2003 10 million people were victims. And the trend continues to get worse. There are so many ways to be a victim and too much to discuss here but please order your free credit report at least once a year and verify it is accurate. I am happy to speak to your group or contact me if you'd like more information. Here are some great informational resources on the subject:

FTC.gov
AnnualCreditReport.com
OnGuardOnline.gov
1.888.5.OPTOUT (turn off unwanted credit card offers)
PrivacyRights.org
IdentityTheftAssistance.org.

Warmly,
