Identity theft is a rapidly growing crime which can take months or years to recover from. These crimes range from unauthorized use of credit cards to stealing a person’s entire identity.

If your credit cards are stolen and unauthorized charges made you should expect to spend 60 hours or more resolving the theft – time that your credit card company will not reimburse you for. And if the damage is more extensive, you can spend months or years and thousands of dollars restoring your good name and credit record.
