Question

Why does my credit score decrease when i am a victim of credit card fraud?

Answer 1

The fraudulent items show up on your credit file and are included in your score calculation.   Dispute the items and when they are removed, your score will rebound.

Answer 2

Because you have some wrong items in your credit report.

You can use credit repair agency to fix your credit - for example this one - http://freecreditreport.hotusa.org - They can clean lots of bad stuff from your credit report - and do it much faster than yourself, so your credit will go up fast.
