It's no secret: Identity Theft is a major problem in America.

Think you're not at risk? Unfortunately, you are.

  • Do you hand your credit card to servers at restaurants?
  • Do you sign your credit cards?
  • Do you supply personal information over the Internet?
  • Do you keep your Social Security number in your wallet or purse?
  • Do you leave mail at your home or business for the postal carrier to collect?
  • Do you shred unwanted mail with personal information?

What if you discovered that your identity had been stolen?

  1. Call your financial institution and/or credit card company
  2. Contact the three major credit repositories
  3. Go through the helpful but extensive steps recommended by the Federal Trade Commission in its 30-page consumer support publication
  4. Fill out and submit the affidavit form supplied by the FTC to dispute new, unauthorized accounts
  5. Spend on average $1,200 in out-of-pocket expenses, excluding attorney fees, to resolve the many problems caused by identity theft. 

 

 

 

What can you do about identity theft?

 

There are three basic steps to take to confront identity theft. 

 

1.  Make sure access to legal counsel is readily available.
A legal membership provides affordable access to an attorney, and along with an Identity Theft plan, can help protect your most valuable, yet most vulnerable, information.

 

2.  Monitor credit activity on a regular basis.
An Identity Theft protection plan provides continuous credit monitoring by the world’s leading risk-consulting company.
 
3.  Have a plan for identity restoration.
Experts are on your side and work to restore your personal information when identity theft strikes.
