In order to maintain an action for injunctive relief under this section, it is not necessary for the plaintiff to show actual damages or the threat of actual damages. A prevailing party in an action under this section may recover court costs and reasonable attorney fees.(b) A conviction or plea of guilty is not a prerequisite to the bringing of a civil action under this section. (c) A cause of action for theft of identity is not deemed to have accrued until the wrongdoer is discovered.
