Some one just tired to use James name to get a Canadian Tire card. We received a call from a lady at Canadian Tire who thought something was off with the application. I just don't believe this. I am actually happy we are so in debt we could not get more credit if we tired. That means no one else can either.

I have been seeing the commercials, TV shows: fiction, documentary and talk shows about identity theft and how it is destroying people. Identity theft is a growing industry both the prevention and repair as well as the actual fraud. People are making money at both ends of this. You have to pay to keep yourself safe or to fix it or you end up with someone else’s debt in your name and your bank account cleaned out. There are books and websites telling you how to prevent it, and how to steal someone’s identity. This is a big issue, the fear of having your children or your own identity taken. So now you have to ask yourself how safe is your identity?
