call your credit bureau and flag it. so if anyone tries to make ANY applications for credit, you will be contacted and advised first.

I suggest waiting until he's fully ruined your credit rating and then stealing some else's identity for yourself.
Seriously, I'd talk to a lawyer and at very least inform your bank of this guy. Some serious Russian identity thief is not someone I'd take lightly.Comment

i believe is a credit bureau in the U.S.
doesn't matter if it was just a debit card. he might be making applications under your name for all types of shit without you even knowing. before you know it you have an R9 credit rating.Comment
