My identity was stolen back in XXXX 2008 when my purse was stolen from my person. I have the police report with the statement of theft. Today, I received a phone call at my place of work regarding a collection of debt. The company is Performant Financial Corporation and the caller was XXXX XXXX. I explained to XXXX that I am a victim of identity theft and her calling me at work was illegal under section 806 ( 5 ) of the Collection Practices Act.
