Identity Theft Victims
If you're a victim of identity theft, this article is for you. Sometimes, you may notice that you've been a victim when it's too late. For example, you might notice when it's time to pay taxes, bills, etc. If that's happened to you, then you have the rights to:
-Make a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Identity Theft Report
-Set up a deceit alert on your credit car that last for seven years
-Request copies of your credit report for free
-Get corrupt accounts eliminated from your credit report
-Prevent debt collectors or creditors from announcing illicit accounts
-Prevent debt collectors or creditors from contacting you
Remember: if you know that you have a fraudulent account, you have the right to place a free freeze on credit reports until the situation is resolved. If you have a credit card that has been stolen, tell creditors that money spent on the credit card that was used by an identity thief. You must prove to them that the money spent was not spent by you.
