Answer 1

Go to www.annualcreditreport.com is total free. Order from all three agencies and go over then very carefully to see if anything that you did NOT applied.

Answer 2

Go to freecreditreport.com asap! Check your credit, and if anything looks fishy or things that aren't yours on there, then you will know. It costs $1. Its not free lol. It is a completly legitiment website though, and its worth it so it doesn't mess up your credit. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, they have to take it off your credit report if it was fraud, but it has to be reported through the police (which you said it already was, but you need a police report on your specific case if he did steal your identity). Good luck, and I know a lot about this because its happened to me and its horrible, so if you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I hope that helped.
