Identity Theft Court

Identity theft is a crime in which someone illegally obtains and uses the personal data of another, through fraud or deception, for monetary gain. This term is somewhat inaccurate, since you cannot steal someone’s identity; you can only use it for illegal ends. However, the victim suffers a number of legal and financial difficulties because of this crime, including having to repair their reputation, restore their credit rating, cancel and replace all of their identifying documents, and compensating for all monetary losses. Identity theft is a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on the state statutes, and requires restitution by the perpetrator for losses and the cost of restoring the victim’s identity and reputation. He will also be assessed fines and prison time, which varies by state and by the monetary value of the theft.
