Identity theft

Ok, so I recently had someone apply for a Credit card in my name, using my SS#. I managed to stop the application and have subsequently done everything you need to do to report Identity Theft

I have two questions and was hoping for some advice:

1. Am I required to notify the BON?

2. SHOULD I notify the BON?

Your thoughts would be welcome........ thank you!

    I would most definetely call the BON!! Yikes, so sorry this has happend to you!! The person could, for all intent and purposes, get a duplicate RN license and start working as a nurse under your name!!

    Not meant as legal advice, per TOS, however, be sure you file a police report, let the fraud division of your bank know, and have your name flagged at the major credit agencies.

    Nightmarish. But be pro-active to nip this in the bud asap!

    What a pain. I HATE this kind of crap. The worst part is the people are next to never caught or punished. Good luck sorting through this mess. I would give them a heads up.
