Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It occurs when someone uses your personal information to commit fraud or other crimes. Typically, identity thieves use this information to open new credit accounts, use your existing credit accounts or, in extreme cases, take money from your bank accounts. Results can be loss of your money, damage to your credit and loss of your time in repairing the damage.

If it does happen, there are steps to take that can lessen the impact and will help you restore your credit. The key is to know the rights and remedies available to you, get advice from experts and act quickly.
