Freeze your accounts so this does not happen to you again. Luckily, you monitor your credit rating and noticed the fraud. I have my credit frozen so if anyone tries to open an account, it will be turned down. If I need to open an account, then I use a password to unfreeze it. You can freeze your accounts online or by simply calling the three credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax). It takes less than a minute for each call.
