If
You Become A Victim...
Contact The Police
Immediately phone the police to file a report
with your local law enforcement. If your identity was stolen
when you were away from your home, you may need to contact
the police authorities in that particular jurisdiction as
well. Opening a police case accomplishes two important things:
- First, the police can start investigating
the crime immediately.
- Second, you will need information
from the police report to help you straighten up your
credit and accounts after
the crime.
When you talk to the police, make sure you
get the police
report number and contact information on how to reach the
investigator.
Give this information to all the companies you get in touch
with in getting your credit cleared up after the crime.
