Identity theft is a form of fraud in which someone uses someone else's Social Security number or personal data to obtain a credit card, mortgage, a benefit check or another type of economic gain. The Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act (ITADA) is the federal law that details the specifics of this crime, but because the Act is complex, prosecutors do not always frame the charges properly. It can be misinterpreted.
Does the prosecution's case hold together? Or have they tried to charge you beyond what they can prove?
Some people who find themselves charged with identity theft never had any intention of committing a crime. They may have thought they were helping a family member or a friend in difficulty.
Were there extenuating circumstances that caused you to take the actions you did?
