Identity Theft Recovery: Who Qualifies and What You Get
If your personal information has been stolen, this service helps you create a recovery plan and provides official documents for your creditors.
This service helps people who have had their personal information stolen to manage the fallout and begin the process of reclaiming their identity.
Who it's for
This is for anyone who has become a victim of identity theft.
What you get
You will receive a personalized recovery plan to help you navigate the next steps. You will also get an official affidavit that you can provide to creditors to prove your situation.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost to use this service. However, it will require your time to file the necessary reports and contact various credit bureaus.
The catch to know
Simply filing a report may not be enough to fully protect you. You must also contact all three major credit bureaus separately to place a credit freeze on your accounts. A credit freeze is a tool that prevents new credit from being opened in your name.
How to apply
- Visit the official website to report the theft.
- Follow the prompts to create your personal recovery plan.
- Download and use your official affidavit when contacting companies.
- Contact each credit bureau individually to freeze your credit.
