Unfortunately, the law is working to fight identity theft; however, they are doing little in line of helping the victims recover from the crime. The credit bureaus only place statements behind debts or bankruptcies acted upon by the perpetrator rather than removing the information from the reports, thus, the victim is victimized further, since assumptions is what most people use to determine a giving situation. In other words, the victim is rarely considered and often victimized further. The feeling of identity theft lingers for years when a person has fallen into the hands of a thief.
