It seems that more and more frequently we are hearing about instances of Identity Theft. Some people don’t find out their identity has been stolen until they go to purchase a home or take out a loan. At that point, it could take months to clear your good name.

Sometimes an identity thief can strike even if you’ve been very careful about keeping your personal information to yourself. If you suspect that your personal information has been misused to commit fraud or theft, take action immediately, and keep a detailed record of your conversations and correspondence. Be sure to Chart Your Course of Action.
