Identity Theft

Identity theft has reached epidemic proportions. You can be made the victim by a total stranger almost as easily as by a family member, friend or business associate. It can be the result of something as obvious as the loss of a wallet or purse or the result of something more subtle such as the unauthorized access to or viewing of your personal identification information. Family, friends or business associates are more commonly the culprits because they already have easy access to your personal identifers. In either case, the result is a nightmarish experience for the innocent consumer. Out of the blue you begin to receive debt collection calls or letters. Or, you may even begin to notice strange inquiries or tradelines on any of your credit reports. That is when you need to go into action. You begin by contacting a lawyer experienced in the area of Fair Credit Reporting Act [FCRA] litigation such as ourselves who will immediately instruct you on what to do including, among other things, the dispute any fraudulent accounts.
