If you had ID theft, you should file a police report and send that to the credit reporting agencies. They would place fraud alerts on your files.If you think there is a chance for ID theft you tin put a freeze on your files.Yes you can open and close bank accounts, you just have to prove you are who you say you are.It is a little more hard to obtain new credit but not impossible.You tin lift your freeze for the creditors/bank that you are applying with. You should have a pin number to do that with.You will have to explain to the creditors/bank astir the fraud alert or freeze and you generally will have to prove you are who you say you are – by sending copies of your drivers license, utility bills in your name etc.
