Q: I am already a victim of identity theft. The worst part of my case is that I know who has done this, but I don’t want them to be in any trouble. Please advise me what to do.
A: If you know that you are a victim of identity theft, you need to take immediate steps to protect yourself. I understand you don’t want to implicate the person who has done this, but it’s possible that they might sell your information to others who can use your information for profit, so I would think seriously about reporting them.
If you really don’t want to involve the guilty party, at least get copies of all 3 of your credit reports, put a freeze on your credit report and subscribe to an identity theft protection service to protect yourself. You can learn more about what steps to take in this previous post on what to do it if someone has stolen your identity.
