The identity thief can use your information to fraudulently apply for credit, file taxes, or get medical products and services. These acts can damage your credit status, and cost you time and cash to restore your good name. You can also not know that you’re the victim of ID theft until you experience a financial consequence (mystery bills, credit collections, denied loans) down the road from actions that the thief has taken with your stolen identity.

It is very important take preventative measures to NOT have your identity stolen so you’ll not have your credit destroyed. Identity theft takes many years to undo and rectify.
