We Think Lisa's Identity Just Got Stolen and Someone Bought a Car

Yep, coulda been a lot worse. I saw a news story on some show like 60 Minutes or some such, where a person had their SSN compromised. The ID thief completely assumed the victim's identity. What made it worse, the thief had a pretty lengthy criminal record, so the victim had to somehow prove it wasn't them who committed multiple felonies, defaulted on a few car loans, etc. What a nightmare.

I can definately see how something like this can totally blow up.
All Lisa has to do is fill out an affidavit that she didn't take out the loan. I imagine it needs to be notarized. My BIL is a notary so that's no big at all.
