Today's Money Diarist was only aware her identity had been stolen after the police emailed her father! She was arrested and even finger printed before her name was cleared, but it took a long time to mop up her credit history! She's a PHD student looking at maternal and child health in Papua New Guinea and sure has a story to tell.
