    In today's connected world, personal information sometimes falls into the wrong hands. And that can lead to identity theft. It might start with an unfamiliar charge on your credit card.

To create an identity theft report, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Identitytheft.gov guides you through each step of the recovery process.
    You can generate the letters and forms you need. Track your progress. And keep detailed records of people you've talked to. No matter what your identity theft situation is, identitytheft.gov can help because recovering from identity theft is easier with a plan.

    I have been having problems with charges on my bank account money missing out of my bank account. I finally found out that it's my daughter. And one or two of her friends.We had a disagreement and I moved out. Then it came to light. In February my bank statement came in and I was over drawn
    So I went thru the statement and discovered that there was two withdrawals from a bank I never went to or even new it was there.The bank let me see the video of the withdraw and it wasn't daughter. That was in February I filed Charges they recently told me that the $500. That she took out was a civil matter and to hire an attorney. In my book I call it stealing mother or not common sense is she deliberately stole from me and the Hannibal police is not going to do anything. Why because she's snitching on her people as she called them in the past.

    I know whose using my identity for years and i went to everyone. The police won't do anything about, the sheriff won't do anything about it. Consumer affairs won't do anything about it, the legal aid won't do anything about it. If nobody can help me, then who the h*** can help? I also uploaded my stuff on the identity theft website and nothing happened. It's been four years now🤦‍♀️

    What if it's identity fraud? For example..
    My old actual pay checks from my old employer in 2014 were found and re cashed. (these pay checks were mobile deposited through a banking app by me the day I received them). Because the theft was able to cash out these checks, this somehow affected my personal banking account. Totaling up yo thousands of dollars. The banks won't help me file fraud. They demand me pay it all back even though it wasn't me who double dipped. Can I still file a FTC report since this doesn't have much to Do with identity theft but more like an identity fraud...? Please help.
