Even if you did find out their address, what can you do? You have to prove that they are stealing the identity. That means police involvement and proving that the person getting the credit card ISN'T the child. Not particularly difficult, just more hoops to jump through. Best bet if you find out an address is to file a complaint with the police ASAP. @Andrea,

How about trying to find out what the address is that the criminal is using???? They would have to have a physical credit card sent somewhere. Why not find that out? Also if they got a loan, wouldn't the check need to be mailed to a place the criminal has access to??? I wonder why no one else doesn't think about it. Hey people!

I hope you don't have this problem with your Ex though. Good luck. @Amy,

I would not put it past my ex to use the kids SSN's to try to get a phone, cable or other. When I was with him, I saw his family do it and wouldn't put it past him to try it.
