A collection agency has provided me with an ID Theft Affidavit which has an option that asks if I'm willing to assist in the prosecution of the person committed the fraud. I have no idea who it could have been but it took place in MD and I live in CA. If there is a prosecution, I don't want to be hassled with it. I called the collection agency and they say they will not clear the debt if I do not assist. Can they do that? I don't know the laws related to this stuff. I've been battling this collection agency for the better part of 2 years and it seems they are able to dictate the process without having to be constrained by regulations or good judgement. Can someone please help!?

I've recently gotten 2 credit card bills in my name for cards I never applied for nor do I have. I'm on disability and have filed for bankruptcy a few years previous so I couldn't get a card if I wanted one. I'm at a loss for what to do since I can't pay for charges that I didn't make.

I always thought it was a problem that happened to other people. I put a fraud alert on my SSN and credit report but do I actually call the cops on the person doing it?

After check fraud discovered, closed that acct, opened another at same bank, but not all auto payments were transferred to the new account resulting in what ended up being late payments when I discovered bills not being paid. As a result, my credit score tanked. What can I do to repair my good credit rating?

I had to apply for SSN's for my babies before we even left the hospital with them. Now with this new crisis of identity theft I have to guard those numbers for the next 18 years. Doesn't this seem insane that we have to do this? I have their SS cards which they obviously can't sign yet & I have to keep them guarded until they are old enough to use them. Why can't they just apply for the SSN themselves when they get of age to work & actually NEED it? That's what I did.
