Stories From Identity Theft Victims
Identity theft is one of the most difficult crimes to be a victim of. The police are of little to no help, and when someone uses your credit to make a purchase, the burden of proof is on you to prove you didn't make the transaction. The credit that you spent years building is often utterly destroyed, often right under you nose.
Even after you prove your innocence you must go through hundreds of hours of red tape and paper work to get your name cleared. Sometimes you are able to get your money back, but if they cleared out your bank account it is unlikely you will ever see that cash again.
Identity Insurance has been growing in popularity rapidly, as the crime is only becoming more common.
Here are some stories from identity victims who did not have identity theft protection on their side.
