How do I know if I'm a victim of identity theft?

Common signs include: accounts you didn't open appearing on your credit report, unexpected credit denials, collection calls for debts you don't recognize, missing mail or bills, unfamiliar charges on your accounts, or being denied credit despite good payment history. We offer free credit report analysis to identify potential identity theft.

Can fraudulent accounts be removed from my credit report?

Yes! Fraudulent accounts resulting from identity theft can and should be completely removed from your credit report. We work with credit bureaus, creditors, and law enforcement to document the fraud and ensure all fraudulent items are deleted. This process typically takes 30-90 days with proper documentation.

What documents do I need to prove identity theft?

You'll need: a police report or Identity Theft Report filed with the FTC, copies of fraudulent account statements, a notarized affidavit of identity theft, government-issued ID, and any correspondence with creditors. We'll guide you through gathering all necessary documentation and help you file reports with the proper authorities.

How long does identity theft credit repair take?

With proper documentation, most identity theft cases are resolved within 30-90 days. Credit bureaus are required to block fraudulent information within 4 business days of receiving a complete Identity Theft Report. We expedite this process and ensure all fraudulent items are permanently removed.

Will identity theft affect my credit score permanently?

No! Once fraudulent accounts are removed from your credit report, your credit score should return to its pre-theft level or better. We also help you implement credit monitoring and fraud alerts to prevent future identity theft and protect your credit long-term.

Do you help with ongoing identity theft monitoring?

Yes! Beyond removing fraudulent accounts, we help you set up credit freezes, fraud alerts, and ongoing monitoring services. We'll also guide you through securing your personal information and preventing future identity theft incidents.
