Michelle B asked:
My ex-friend and I had moved to Key West, FL. She had a lot of my personal information and I think she claimed me and my family on income tax for 2008 because I went to file myself, it was rejected because me and my dependents had already been claimed. So can I find out if they did this if I gave her name? Also, when I moved back to TN I’ve recieved bills, etc. that I’ve never heard of and don’t know what they’re for. If I did a credit report would the information be helpful for this problem. Also, the IRS told me over the phone that my family and I might have to get new S.S #. Is this a common way of identity theft problem solving?

Contact the Police and report ID Theft .. don’t waste time trying to sort it yourself ..
Every day you are wasting time and your Credit score is being effected .. stop all your Cards and accounts immediately, contact DMV etc. …. change EVERYTHING ..
For all you know it’s her new boyfriend, or his mates .. or she has ‘thrown away’ your details and some criminal gang has picked them up from the trash .. even now some-one could be using your details to buy air tickets, goods on-line & arrange store cards, car loans & who knows what ….
