My son also had his identity stolen in his 20's when someone got hold of a CC while he was out of town on business. By then they had wracked up thousands of dollars on it. They also had a fake SS card and drivers license to back it up. This was 20 years ago and they just didn't have as much in place as they do now. But after the initial call to the police, they didn't seem to care about finding this person. This continued for years, to the point he almost had to get a new SS#, and we know that would be a whole new issue. Probably took 5 years for them to quit using his identity, and that was probably because they went on to someone else. Good luck!
