victim's rights against possible identity theft

Identity Theft: I believe I am potentially a victim of identity theft. Though no money has been lost yet, the FBI is investigating and I do know the people obtained my information from an internet payday loan website. I am unsure of which, as I have several loans out. Now my bank account has been frozen per my request and at the advice of the FBI. How should I handle these companies asking for payments knowing one of them, or possibly more than one, sold my information or had it compromised? - Is this your question? Add additional information

Ask the FBI what they want you to do. You don't want to spoil the investigation by saying something to alert the possible criminals.

Ask either the person you are working with in the FBI or the FBI Victim/Witness coordinator to assist you with completing the ID Theft Complaint form
