Yes and it is called ID fraud. Every day someone has this happen and it doesn't take much for them to be successful at it. All it takes is to know your birthday, address, phone, and your name and they can use it to open accounts. In some cases like with the AT&T Go Phone it doesn't take that. They can get a phone with no ID and just an account number ( I had this happen so I know). Shred all catalogs order pages and back covers that are mailed to you. The numbers on the back of the covers with your name can be used to order items. Shred all bank card offers because they can be used to order cards in your name. I have a cross shredder and everything but the most needed items go into it as they come in the mail.

Reasons to Pay an Online Credit Card Bill?

It is very important to pay an online credit card bill. By paying an online credit card bill on time every month, a person will always make sure that his or her credit score remains high. If a person forgets to pay this sort of bill, then it may be likely that he or she has to pay some sort of late fee. A credit card company may also report one to a local credit bureau, which would mean that a person's credit score would then be knocked a lot of points for failing to make a minimum payment in a month.
