Book Description
In 2003, more than 10 million Americans were victimized byidentity theft, costing individuals and business almost$50 billion in fraudulent transactions. Such statisticsindicated that the provisions of the Identity Theft andDeterrence Act of 1998 were insufficient to deal with theproblem. Accordingly, the 108th Congress attempted tofurther assist victims of identity theft by passing two newlaws: the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTAct) and the Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act.The complete 10-volume set, which consists of the 4-volumecore set plus 6 supplemental volumes, contains 168 documentsand is intended for use by in-depth research libraries. Thecore set contains 62 documents from the 108th Congress andwould be of interest to law firms and general libraries. Seeitem #332167 to purchase the 4-volume core set only.

Book Description
Crime has moved yet another step forward in its unyielding progression through society. Now it is identity theft. Trying to combat both legal and illegal theft continues to occupy a large portion of the average citizen's life. Identity theft or identity fraud generally involves 'stealing' another person's personal identifying information -- such as Social Security number (SSN), date of birth, and mother's maiden name -- and then using the information to fraudulently establish credit, run up debt, or take over existing financial accounts. This new book examines the extent of the problem, its costs and remedies under the law. CONTENTS: Preface; Identity Theft: Prevalence and Cost Appear to be Growing; Awareness and Use of Existing Data on Identity Theft; Remedies Available to Victims of Identity Theft; Identity Theft and the Fair Credit Reporting Act; Subject Index.

Book Description
Although a relatively new crime, identity theft has dramatically increased in occurrence and severity since the early 1990s. By definition, identity theft is the obtainment and fraudulent use of another person's personal information, which can be relatively innocuous or much more serious. A talented criminal can take another individual's social security number, credit card information, checks, or other personal information, and use that information to impersonate the individual, manipulating a system that increasingly relies on nonpersonal identifiers. The political, legal, and criminal justice systems are struggling to catch up with the identity theft epidemic, while struggling with the technology that gives rise to it.
Identity Theft on the Rise

Book Description
According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft is the most common complaint from consumers in all fifty states, and complaints regarding identity theft have grown for three consecutive years. Victims of identity theft may incur damaged credit records, unauthorised charges on credit cards, and unauthorised withdrawals from bank accounts. Sometimes, victims must change their telephone numbers or even their Social Security numbers. Victims may also need to change addresses that were falsified by the impostor. This report provides an overview of the federal laws that could assist victims of identity theft with purging inaccurate information from their credit records and removing unauthorised charges from credit accounts, as well as federal laws that impose criminal penalties on those who assume another person's identity through the use of fraudulent identification documents.
