IMHO: Sign up with Life Lock (or another trustworthy ID protection place) ASAP. You’ve probably already been compromised. Install Win 8, too.

Check with your homeowners’ insurance carrier for ID Theft protection. For us, it is a $25/year rider on the policy. They assigned an agent to work with us to clean up the theft of my husband’s id. Long story short, ten people in 2013 had a FABULOUS Christmas - we started getting the calls for payment a couple of months later. Insurance company cleaned it all up - though it took several months.

Sign up with Life Lock
Unless you get the most expensive level of coverage, LifeLock won't do anything that you can't do for yourself, free.
You can cancel your own credit cards (if necessary) and put a Fraud Alert on your (credit) account.
Do it via any one of the "big 3" Equifax, Experian or Trans Union and they'll pass along the fraud alert to the other two, free.
