Resolving Specific Identity Theft Problems (Part 2)

Taking Back the ID 

In my last column, I outlined detailed procedures to follow when attempting to resolve problems associated with unscrupulous debt collectors and frauds relating to certain types of identity theft. In this column, I'll continue to outline detailed procedures to follow when attempting to resolve other types of identity theft frauds. Hopefully, this information will be useful when a victim of one of these frauds approaches you for help.

Again, for our international members, perhaps you could find help in resolving these identity theft problems by checking similar Web sites of government agencies in your country. Much of the information that follows is taken from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) document, "Resolving Specific Identity Theft Problems."
