You start to receive numerous bills for items that you never purchased. What should you do if you feel that you are victim of identity theft? Explain the process of protecting yourself.

First and foremost, you should contact the authorities, then you should pull your credit reports and look them over, try and get an idea of where these purchases may be originating, or try to see if there is a pattern. Then you’re going to want to cancel whichever debit and/or credit card is being used to make the purchases. Hope this helps.
