Sigh, I got back to the US from France today to find a stack of credit card bills for cards I never had. It seems someone has acquired a series of credit cards in my name. Near as I can tell the total is 10K.

The cards were opened in June and July using an old texas address of mine at mostly department stores. They have apparently passed a bad check using my name also.

I'm going to start the long slog of calling credit card companies tomorrow morning. Anyone have any advice on how to proceed?
