If someone just committed fraud/identity theft on you, will you lose your credit or have bad credit (for future references) and can you ever regain those credit back to normal?

Can a judge or jury hear a tape recording admitting to a crime in small claims court in Texas?

I’m doing this for a project. I tried searching for it on the internet and I’ve got this book from the school library that doesn’t help much. It’s a Criminal Manual, 1995. I know there are such laws, but I can’t find them. Umm, Canadian law, and the consequences for stealing others’ identity, though I’m not sure if this varies from province. Thanks!
Thanks arus.geo for answering, but I asked my history teacher, who at the same time teaches law for university preperation level, she told me to look under fraud, theft and invasion of privacy

About a year ago, I found out that my name was used to purchase a number of magazines. The magazine company sent me a letter telling me that I was going to be put into collection if I didn’t pay the amount billed for the magazines. Well I knew it wasn’t me who purchased the magazines, so I told the company that it was a fraud account and luckily they closed the account without billing me. But heres the catch: the address that the magazines were being sent to was a relative of mine. Also, the magazine company sent me a copy of the card that was filled out by my relative. When I recieved the copy of the card I knew exactly that this person was my cousin because I noticed her handwriting. Now my only problem is how am I going to prove that it was her writing? If I ask her I know right away that she will just lie about it. I’ve already filed for identity theft and all I need to do is file a police report. What will the police do about it? Will they do an investigation?
Hopefully someone can be able to answer all of my questions. Also, what would happen to my cousin if I’m able to prove that this is her who did this?

I have a profile that appears to be messed up on addictinggames.com, I don’t know if it is really messed up or not.

I only gave the site my e-mail address and my date of birth, would this be enough for them to commit identity theft? (if the site is actually a fraud)

If I give I give someone my home address, my name, phone number and my banks Routing Number and Account number for Business Transactions, can they commit some sort of theft or fraud that would jeopardize my business?

I’m new in business and don’t know too much about identity theft or banking for business purposes.
