Have you had your identity stolen?

I did, and it was a mess. Somehow, they got into my checking account, and had me over $1500 in the negative. Luckily, my account was insured. But, I had numerous credit cards in my name. I finally got most of the stuff wiped off, but they still pound at my credit score, even though I didn't do that. Has anyone been through this? And how long does it take to recover?
