You can contact you local police department, however, this type of fraud is on the rise and it is very hard to trace. The best thing to do is not give the person ANY of your information.

Not sure that this is possible.  The only way to do this more than likely is to have a court order to release this information....and you're not going to get that info unless it's something awfully important like inheritance placement, or if they sign a release for a background check and even if they did that, they would probably have to provide their previous alias.  Not sure why you need this info....that would help also.   Sorry I couldn't be much more help

Contact the credit bureaus and tell them you believe your ID was stolen - they'll put a hold on your credit report so if anyone tries to access it, you will be informed. You only need to contact one of the three - they automatically contact each other.\n\nAlso obtain a free copy of your credit report - the government requires you be given a copy once a year on request. You cannot be charged for this service. (See the link below). It's a good idea to do this anyway, even if you haven't had your ID stolen. \n\nBEWARE of services that advertise a 'free report' in exchange for signing up to some monitoring or other service - these are NOT free reports, you'll have to pay.\n\nWhen you get the report, check if anything looks suspicious - accounts you haven't opened for example. If there is any such activity, contact your local police and the credit report company.\n\nPeople search and other such services use public records - just as you could do - to find information about people. These include court and state/federal records that must be released under the freedom of information laws. However, certain information, such as your social security number, may not be made available under penalty of law.\n\nPLEASE NOTE: If you are concerned about using the website listed below, go to http://www.firstgov.gov and search for "free credit report". You will get a link to the annual credit report site from there (All sites ending in .gov are federal government sites so can be trusted). For more information, see the government link below.

Get to a lawyer and file a counter complaint for identity theft. File a complaint with the Federal Government and prosecute. Title 18 U.S.C. 2510, et. seq., would be what the changes can be filed under. These are Federal crimes and must be treated as such. Good Luck!

In addition to reporting it to Mastercard, if you've lost your card or it's stolen you can report the missing card to one of the three main credit rating agencies to avoid any potential credit problems.  You only need to report it to one, the other two will pick it up immediately.  Also, if it's a theft and you're worried about identity theft, you can sign up for a service that will constantly monitor your credit activity and report all activity to you via email.  So if someone uses your personal info to open another credit card, for instance, you'll see this immediately and be able to report it as fradulent before any harm in done.\n\nHere are the sites for the 3 major credit bureaus:\nhttp://www.equifax.com/\nhttp://www.experian.com/\nhttp://www.transunion.com/index.jsp\n\n\nHope this helps.

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.

what do you mean? If your personal ID has been stolen, you would need to contact the FBI. as far as making sure it doesnt happen again has less to do with your computer and more about what your doing with it (Example- who your giving your information to). As far as hacking goes, no. unless you specifically stored all your personal information in a nice open file right on your desktop, it doesnt really work like that. just in the movies.

You will have to go through a law enforcement agency in Colorado. They do not allow a private citizen, or even the research companies access to Colorado criminal histories. If you currently reside in Colorado go to your local police department and they will have you sign a release and they can pull up your records on their computer for you.

I need more info before giving you any good advice.  \n\nIf someone got credit in your name, and you are claiming the debt is not yours, then there is a procedure already in place regarding ID Theft.  Go to the first link below and read up.\n\nYou first need to contact the local police department and get a report.  Then you will need to contact the creditors who are after you and inform them that the debt is not yours.  Send them a copy of the police report, plus a signed and notorized affidavid saying your ID was stolen and this is not your debt.\n\nIt's up to them to prove it's yours, not the other way around! \n\nNow, to clean up your credit, examine the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Fair and Accurate Credit Reporting Act.  These laws detail exactly what you must do.\n\nFollow these instructions carefully!\n\nSend a dispute letter to the Credit Reporting Agencies demanding that the listing be removed.\n\nSend a "demand to validate" letter to the creditor, and demand that they prove this is your debt.\n\nIf this does not solve the problem, you can sue them in small claims court.\n\nThis is exactly what happened to me.  Someone used my ID to get a Holleywood Video account and run up $300 in charges.  It went to collections agency and ended up on my credit report.\n\nI did the letter writing stuff, but they still wouldn't take the listing off.  So I went to small claims court.\n\nThe credit bureau settled for $200.  The collection agent decided to fight me, and it cost them $1000 plus court fees.  \n\nThe reason they get away with this stuff is because consumers don't understand the law!  \n\nContact me if you need more advice or support.
