Answer 1

Go to the police.

Answer 2

Usually first 4 digits tell you what type of card it is, not what company its from, Cards that begin w/ a 4 are visas & 5 is mastercard.

You need to pull a copy of your credit report, it will show the contact info for each company you have accounts with. You may not be happy with what you find out though!

Answer 3

Sounds like you are a victim of identity theft. Immediately call your local police department and file a report for identity theft, then once you have the police report, call all three credit bureaus and tell them to put a freeze on your credit report information. You will probably need to fax the police report documents to the credit agencies.
