As long as you have not reached your maximum credit limit, your credit card can be used for additional purchases. Also, identity theft can take forms other than using your personal information to make unauthorized purchases. For example, someone stopped by the police for violating the law might give your name and address as their own. When you do not appear in court, the judge will issue a bench warrant for your arrest for failure to appear in court.
