CREDIT CHAOS IN SOMEONE ELSE’S NAME — How Identity Theft Wreaks Havoc on Your File
When Credit Problems Aren’t Yours—But the Consequences Are
You’ve been careful with your finances. But one day, you’re denied a loan, see an unfamiliar account, or get harassed by a collector for a debt you never owed. Welcome to the aftermath of identity theft.
At R23 Law, our California Identity Theft Victim Lawyers help clients across the state reclaim their names and clear their credit files when unauthorized activity causes long-term financial harm. We know it’s not just about fixing a credit report—it’s about restoring peace of mind.
How Identity Theft Starts—and Why It Escalates
Identity theft doesn’t always begin with a major data breach. Sometimes all it takes is:
A stolen wallet
A compromised phone
A hacked email
A leaked account password
Thieves use your personal information to:
Open fraudulent credit cards
Rack up unauthorized charges
Apply for loans or lines of credit
Submit false applications in your name
Victims often discover the problem too late—after their score has dropped or they’ve been denied something essential.
The Credit Damage Is Real—and It Gets Worse with Time
If identity theft isn’t stopped quickly, it can lead to:
Missed payments and default notices
Lower credit scores that affect every part of life
Rejected applications for cars, homes, or business funding
Harassment from debt collectors about accounts you never opened
Legal action like wage garnishment or lawsuits
Even when victims act fast, the recovery process is often slow, confusing, and frustrating.
Why Documentation Is the Key to Clearing Your Name
To repair the damage, you’ll need evidence—lots of it. That includes:
Bank or credit card statements showing your actual usage
Letters from debt collectors that list fraudulent accounts
Copies of identity theft affidavits
Police reports documenting the crime
Any correspondence with credit bureaus or creditors
This kind of paper trail helps attorneys challenge incorrect credit entries and stop collection actions in their tracks.
