Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information and uses it to open new accounts or initiate transactions in your name. Fraud is committed when criminals use your personal information to access bank accounts, obtain loans, make purchases, rent an apartment, etc.
Although it's considered a felony crime, police can't help you restore your credit record and undo the damage that's been done. Taking the proper precautions with your information is the best protection.
