1. MINE WENT DOWN! Gosh, I wish mine had gone up instead.
2. Identiity theft doesn;t always mean that their out to rob you, but simply use ytour credit to get ahead insome cases and he did and helped you too.
3. uh, I guess you didn't have credit before
4. Part of the rating is comparing credit used verses credit available. Perhaps the thieves opened LOTS of new credit and just hadn't yet had time to charge up a huge new balance at the time the credit agency 'snapshot' your account. So your debt ratio would have looked 'small' and desirable at that moment.
5. The thief was more responsible with your credit than you were.
