A small company I worked for has my name, address, and social security number because I worked for them. I no longer trust them.
What can they do with this information?
Can they check my credit report even if they are not allowed to (htey are a company not a rental complex, not a mortgage agent.)?
Is it enough information for Identity Theft?

If someone charges up stuff on someone else’s credit cards, is it not possible to simply call the bank and say you did not charge it ?

How can someone steal your identity and charge up stuff on your credit and that still screw up your credit? where is the protection for consumers?

I had Identity theft. I have the major credit reports remove 87 inquires, 5 collection account and 2 credit cards. I still have 11 account that are not mine, but I'm in the process of removing them. When I had all these accounts and inquires my credit score went down 56 points, making my credit worse then before. I would like someone to tell me why I lost all these points when damaging items where removed, if you can help me in anyway that would be great. Thanks.

Meaning, I know someone who says that society is now making a big deal over it and that it will never happen to him, because he already has bad credit, mostly due to his own choices anyway, and that the best way to be safe from identity theft is to already have bad credit.

How true is that?

I have had so much trouble with identity theft the last few years. I have not been able to get a home or a car. I know there has to be a way out there to get some of those older items deleted isn't there?

I want to report the identity theft based on my credit report. But the police officer of Westminster Police Department in California said that she can not take my report because credit report is not a document for filing a report. Is it correct?

I am a victim of identity theft but caught it years too late because I did not check my credit report. I’ve been reviewing my report this last week and on one of the reporting agencies is a judgment for a debt that I did not make. I have already disputed the items, filed a police report, and contacted the companies.

What do I need to do about this judgment? I have no idea what it is or what to do or who to contact or where to begin.
