Loans and Mortgages taken out in your name fraudulently

AHHH. I just went to check my credit score, and I discovered that in 1998 and 2001, I had taken out a mortgage and a car loan...I was 8 years old in 1998 and 11 years old in 2001! I believe that my identity was stolen, how can I go about getting information on these problems. Please help!!

    it is more likely that there is a mistake on your credit files than outright fraud.
    contact the credit agencies and say the debts are not rtelated to you.
