Equifax can put a flag (they automatically do this after fraud activity - at least they did for me) on your credit, meaning that every credit app. you (or someone else claiming to be you) try to get processed will be looked at closer.
It is a pain in the butt when you're trying to get a loan (add a day or two) but prevents it from happening again without you knowing.
I had a credit card & cell phone that I didn't know about, almost 10 years ago (s**t, getting old). There was around $5000 run up between the two. Somebody had a good time calling overseas.
