Unfortunately I have been another victim of identity theft. Because of that I placed a "fraud alert" on my credit report, contacted the local police, and contacted all three credit bureaus. Now the problem is that the fradulent accounts removed keeps coming back to my credit report everytime I have them remove it and the thief is still on the loose. how do I bring this person to justice? do I just go to court ?? and what kind of lawyer do I need for this or where can I find a lawyer that specializes in this case? I would really appreciate if someone could help me solve this problem because I have to worry about it every night and it makes me depressed.

Marcos, ID theft sucks.... and the reality of the probelm is that is most likely isn't one thief... you see most often when you ID is stolen it is brokered or sold to many different people. This is part of the reason that there is such a problem catching people. The other reason is that they have credentials that say they are YOU... and when they don't work or aren't of use they toss them and move onto another ID or back to their own... some really great info is available in my blog... http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-nVHt11Q8eqq5Sn2774ZVfkPYsQ--?cq=1&p=23
Good luck and the stats say if you are a victim of ID theft once you are 7 times more likely to be victimized again... take steps to protect your ID that go beyond your own efforts... check out the blog..

I agree with signing up with Prepaid Legal. I recently signed up with them and mine comes with this thing that's called "Identity Theft Shield" which is supposed to protect you if anything like this happens. It's a very reasonable price and if your employer offers it (as opposed to going directly to the source), you'll get a discount on what you pay and may be able to have it taken from your check so you don't have to worry about paying it (or not paying it).
