Probably a consumer attorney.  You might not need one, however.  Go to www.ftc.gov and look up the link to "consumers" and then look up info on identity theft and how to repair it.  You should also order your credit report (for free) from the 3 major agencies and the FTC site will show you how to do that.  Your credit report will show if someone has obtained credit in your name because you will see opened accounts there that you didn't know about.  Hopefully, there is nothing serious.

Call the credit report company and they will tell you the number or address of the company in question.Also if it's on your credit report it usually tells you when they will take the charge off.

There should be a customer service number on the card itself.  If you can't find one, call the bank you got it from.

Your fiance is not the only one who has lost their wallet or had it stolen.  Call the Office of Motor Vehicle and call the Social Security Administration---you may have to bring in more documentation that you realize.  If you have a copy of your social security number or your driver's license, that will help.  Bring in an old pay stub with the social security number.  Check with his work (Human Resources office or Personnel).  They usually make copies of licenses and social security cards for new hires.  Hope this helps.----don't forget to contact the credit card companies too!!!!

I D Theft is one of the worst cases to deal with, You just can't find enough answers to resolve the issue. As a Police Officer I would tell you to continue to check with the three credit bureaus to make sure something doesn't show up that you were not aware of. If you find something,contact that business or bank to let them know that you did not transact this. You will have to file a report with the proper agency to start an investigation. Every Department has someone working ID theft, it may cause you some inconvenience now, but not as much as it will down the road.

If you have an identified creditor that was defrauded notify them, they will provide assistance, paperwork and additional instructions. Their insuring agency will probably want a report, a copy of which may help for your legal issues. \n\nIf you think it involves postal fraud or theft, the Postal Inspector wants to know and WILL take a report, which was where I had to go when I had an identity theft incident.  Each police agency [(3)- business location, home, offense location] I attempted to report it to referred me to another.  \n\nContact all three major credit reporting entities Experion, Transunion, and Equifax, they will make arrangements to notify you of suspicious activity initiated in your name or on your accounts.  Good luck!

Report him, he probably doesn't know you rights and should be told before someone gets ripped off by an ID thief

Contact the local police department's fraud section. They will let you know what information you need. If the card was really that person's card, that's all they would need to find the person and prosecute them.

these so called fraud protectors are a waste of time and money!  these credit card companies are supposed to do this service for you for free.  You will know if your card was not used by you or with your consent because it will show up on your report.  the companies should repay you for this also!  They may close the account and reopen a new one in your name with a different number but that is better than paying those rediculous prices for this protection.

If the police know about it, they should be able to track the phone when they use it. Try to file an insurance claim if you don't recover the stolen items (make sure to have proof of ownership). Other than that, I don't know what else to do.

You scofflaw!\nOK the WORST thing is that you get charged with a crime. Theft by fraud (bad check) is a crime. \nReality: don't worry about it. \nAmount was too small and time was long ago, statute of limitations may have already run.\nIf the store turned over your debt to collections, it probably would have shown up by now On your credit report.\n\nHowever, you did steal from that store. Find out if they are still in buisness (God forbid your theft drove them under) and send them a note and the $. Get it off your guilty mind.\n\nAlthough I would not send another check.
