Contact a Law Enforcement Agency
It's unlikely that your
local police department will solve the case—or even investigate it.

your good credit rating—with creditors and credit reporting bureaus.
After contacting your local police, you may also need to notify the
police department that oversees the location where the identity theft
most likely occurred.
