Identity Theft Fraud

Identity theft is a relatively new type of theft made possible by the electronic age.  The thief uses the victims identity, often through forged documents, to obtain credit.  The thief makes no payments on the loan obtained and the victim may spend months or years clearing her name and credit report.  The legislatures and the Congress are considering new law to make this easier for the victims.
