Civilians cannot "press charges." Only law enforcement and prosecutors can "press charges." However, you can REPORT the offense (and whom you suspect) to law enforcement and they will investigate and take action if they find enough probable cause that the offense occurred, regardless of the age of the perpetrator.

A 'victim' does NOT "press charges." The victim can only make a report of the illegal act to law enforcement. If investigation reveals a suspect, the suspect can be arrested and taken to court where law enforcement will present the case to the prosecutor. The prosecutor is the only one who can 'press charges' and he does so on behalf of the state, NOT on behalf of the individual victim.

How does identity theft affect your credit?

Identity theft can have a seriously negative impact on your credit. When thieves steal your identity, they are likely to try to open a new line of credit in your name. If they succeed, they can make purchases with that card, and you will be responsible for the charges. Even if you dispute the charges, the unpaid bills will be reflected in your credit report. Unfortunately, cleaning up a credit report after an incident of identity theft can be a long and costly process.
