That sucks and you have every right to growl about it. Have you contacted the credit card company/bank to put them straight on this? And will you be able to get your money back?

Hey peg, this was yesterdays findings. So ive had time to stew. This is brewing a hell of a manic episode and depressive mood.....I guess Im not sure what to do at this point. I have to make phone calls, and im frozen.

I cant do anything. I just want to close up. Im working two jobs. This is just over the top.

I cant do it....

Deep breath! Pick up the phone and let them know what is going on. Then you can relax a little.

No you are not. You are understandably upset. Going for a walk sounds like a good idea, then make the phone calls. Hang in there.

Cthomas, I can actually relate to your financial situation. Though I haven't been a victim of identity theft, I'm struggling to make sure my car is paid for and insured every month. I can understand that feeling of frustration when you can't seem to rake in enough money to pay bills. Last month was the closest I've ever come to screwing up and paying late. Actually, my car note was late but only by two days.

So I feel you! It gets hard, but I'm here for you -- as is everyone else!

But look how much you CAN do - going for a walk, working 2 jobs, all this despite your condition and stressors. I can't even go for a walk, much less work. I admire your strength. I think if you just start to make the calls, things will get easier. Do you have any idea how your identity got stolen? billieJ

Take a deep breath, and take one step at a time, to -un-do what they did, you did not ask for this, it is not your fault

Yes...you are wanted and needed here. Also call the non emergency police and report what info was stolen information wise. Most police departments have an identity theft/cyber crimes unit because these things happen so frequently. You may want to call them first. They may have some suggestions to help that may not have crossed your mind. Good luck to you. Be sure and let us know this progresses.
Thanks for this!

I'm always glad to see your posts, although I wish this had not happened to you , it's horrible! But I think even though it will take effort, you can get the situation "fixed"

I'm so sorry this has happened, sitting here for you, feel free to pm if you want to rant even further

sending loads of hugs

Be sure to contact a consumer attorney as soon as possiable. Also file a dispute with the three majior credit card companys.. You can go online to do all of this.Good luck to you,things will work out with time
