I have to leave this account open until the investigation is complete, then will leave a small amount in as it is a local bank and finally switch everything over to USAA which I've been trying to do for years. the amount of payments that you don't always think about like the "good to go" toll pass, norton, things like that are staggering, even op top of normal ones like mortgage and utilities. I have $200 cash and my USAA low balance credit card. it couldn't happen at a worse time, I need dog and cat food, that's over 100, horse feed, gas, realtor fees, and oh yeah. people food. when will we chip our cards like is done in Europe to stop this crap?

I'm so sorry to hear that, kk. I think identity thieves are some of the lowest scum on the planet. They take so much more than just money. They take your credit, your good name, your peace of mind. This really sucks.
