My ex-wife applied and got a credit card in our minor daughter's name. On the on line application to the bank she used out daughter's name, employer, a fake age and a fake social security number. My ex maxed out the card. My daughter's credit report shows my ex has used my daughter's identity for years
My ex wife's credit report is part of State Court records and shows she is using different social security numbers not assigned to her.
The Sheriff's office did a report on it but no prosecution in 2009.
In a letter the States Attorney and SD Attorney General say that since my ex was convicted of identity theft in 2005 that they can not prosecute her for crimes she did in 2009 involving identity theft.
My ex-wife has used various social security number since her 2005 conviction for identity theft. Is this not illegal and why no prosecution?
Reporting identity theft
If you haven't done so already, you should file an online complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at http://www.ic3.gov.
The IC3 gives victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations. IC3 sends every complaint to one or more law enforcement or regulatory agencies that have jurisdiction over the matter.
IC3's mission is to receive, develop and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level, IC3 provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes.
The IC3 reflects a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the National White Collar Crime Center and the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
