One of my family members identity and passwords were compromised last year. I put a freeze on my credit with one credit monitoring agency last year. Today, I get an email on one email address saying that an account has been opened in my name. Then I check my other email account where Credit Karma notifies me that a hard inquiry was made under my name. I called the bank that issued the card (to the thief) under my name and have them close it down. I put a freeze with the other two bureaus immediately. Could someone please explain why a credit card was issued despite of a freeze? Thanks!
