Identity Theft

Facing Credit Card Fraud or Identity Theft Charges in Wisconsin?

Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal data for economic gain. Identity theft crimes first began making their appearance into our everyday language in the 1990's, when the U.S. Congress passed the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act (ITADA), potentially making credit card fraud, mortgage fraud, check theft, and using someone else's Social Security number a federal crime. Unfortunately, however, provisions of the ITADA are often misinterpreted by District Attorneys and prosecutors, leading to vague and unsubstantiated criminal charges.
