Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, such as your name, social security number, driver's license number, bank account, and credit card without your permission, to commit a crime. The Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 10 million Americans have their identities stolen each year.

Your personal information can be used if it fall's into a criminal's hands. The criminals will use your information to commit fraudulent transactions in a variety of forms. This can be a devastating effect for you to clear your name.
