I applied for the Bank of America student credit card (I’m 18) and I got info in the mail that I wasn’t approved because I previously filed bankruptcy or have an account filed with bankruptcy. I have never declared bankruptcy since I just turned 18 last week. What can I do? I think i’m a victim of identity theft.

I am worried about identity theft, the thief knowing my birth date and address, and all the unknowns as this has never happened to me before and I feel vulnerable and unprotected. Also, if you know of anything I can do to catch or thwart the thief’s plan, please do tell!
In other words, what can a person do with my driver’s license and is there anything I can do to prevent it?
