The Good Amy S. Vs. The Bad Amy S.

So obviously I am the Good Amy S. My identitiy was stolen over the summer. The perp.....Bad Amy S. It is my understanding that her name really is Amy S. Unlike me, as stated above, she is bad. Really a huge pain in my neck (or other body part located down a bit further). She somehow got a hold of my info. and opened up dozens of credit cards, a phone, got an apartment and took out a couple of personal loans. She was a very busy girl for about ten days there in June. I was lucky to find out rather quickly, but not quick enough it to be a huge inconvience to me and my credit. She is apparently and quite obviously a big scumbag (this word comes from her ex-landlord). I say Ex because she is now in the big house, the hoos cow, the clink. Which I have to say does give me some satisfaction because of the hassle she has caused me. The reason I share this is for some advice, which had I known earlier it would have saved me a lot of trouble. Go onto trucredit.com and sign up for credit alerts. It will cost you about $14 a month but they update you as to any change of your credit. This would have come in very handy when she started her little crime spree. Consider yourselves warned.
