- Develop a plan when you make contact with a company. Presuming that the person you talk to will provide you all the information or help you need is erroneous. Organize a list of questions to ask the representative, as well as information about your identity theft. Ensure you comprehend everything you've been told before ending the call, or ask to speak to a supervisor.
- Jot down the name of everyone you talk to, their comments, and date the conversation occurred.
- Follow up in writing with all contacts you've made on the phone or in person. Use certified mail. You can document what the company or organization received and when by requesting the return receipt feature.
- Maintain copies of all correspondence or forms you send.
- Save the originals of supporting documents, like letters to and from creditors, police reports; send copies only.
- Arrange a filing system for easy access to your paperwork.
- Even if you believe your case is closed, store old files. Once resolved, most cases stay resolved, but problems can crop up.
When becoming an Id theft victim, report incident immediately to the authorities and credit reporting agencies.
