About ID fraud and ID theft
ID theft happens when a fraudster finds out your personal information in order to impersonate you. ID fraud happens when they use that information to run up bills or buy goods in your name.They could do this by, for instance, applying for credit using your details - but give a different home address. You would never see the bills - but your credit report would show you've got unpaid debts.
