<prompt> Human: My husbands social security number has recently been stolen. We discovered this when we tried to file our electronically and were told that he had already filed. We have also recieved a pre-paid debit card in his name. We are taking steps to contact the IRS, lock down his credit reports and file a police report. I have two questions: If you had your identiy stolen what do you wish you knew when it first happended? And should I also be taking steps to lock down my own credit since we dont know if they have my SS number as well? All our accounts are joint accounts.  <response>: ...you mean besides who did it and where they lived?
