Hi my question is concerning identity theft. I am worried someone might have my social security number and might of committed crimes under my name. I am worried about this because many years ago I remember putting my number on a job application ( I know very stupid ) and now can't stop thinking about it. I'm scared I might have a criminal record I don't know about. A few months ago I was hired for a job and had no background check issues so maybe I am just being paranoid ?
I still feel like I can't get any peace of mind so would the best thing to do is just ask my local police station if there's any record on me?
Also lets say if I were a victim of identity theft and had records under my name , what would be the steps after to clear my name ?
Thank you.
