Class Actions - Identity Theft
There is almost nothing worse than having your identity stolen. Identity theft is a crime that occurs when someone uses your personal information, such as your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. Once the thieves have your information, they may obtain a credit card, use a telephone number, buy merchandise or do almost anything else, all in your name. You may never even find out about the identity theft unless you receive a bill or credit card statement containing charges you never made, or until you review your credit report.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Identity theft is serious, and can occur because banks, stores, insurance companies and other businesses have failed to protect your personal information. It may have been stolen from a worker's laptop, or the thief may have hacked into a website and stolen information about you and hundreds or thousands of other people.
