It appears that this is primarily a criminal matter and there is no personal injury (physical bodily harm). You should contact your local law enforcement agency about this as it appears that your identity has been compromised. You may also have a cause of action for a civil suit, but the immediate need is to have law enforcement protecting your property rights to your identity and assets. If you are unable to recover in a civil suit, you may still prevail when the State prosecutes this case. If the State is successful, the defendant may be ordered to pay restitution as part of the sentence. You will want to inform all the credit reporting agencies and all your financial institutions according to their procedures as well as your bankruptcy attorney. You should report to all the credit reporting agencies and all your financial institutions IN WRITING as well as orally. Save copies of all such reports.
