How Identify Theft Works Video: Learn how someone can steal and access your identity.
Stolen documents account for nearly half (43%) of the 9 million cases of identity theft per year in the USA (according to the Federal Trade Commission).
Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. Identity theft is more and more of a problem.
While some identity theft victims can resolve their problems quickly, others spend hundreds of dollars and many days repairing damage to their good name and credit record. Some consumers victimized by identity theft may lose out on job opportunities, or be denied loans for education, housing or cars because of negative information on their credit reports.
