 No one expects Identity theft to happen to them, but it affects
millions of people in North America each year.
When an identity thief strikes, the emotions can feel similar to those expe-
rienced during a house fire. All of a sudden, everything you’ve worked for
is threatened. If your home were on fire, would you want the fire depart-
ment to send you brochures about how to put out the fire, then follow up
with brochures about how to rebuild? Of course not. You’d want them to
jump in the truck, turn on the sirens, and bring the water! Identity Theft
Shield puts the experts in the field of identity restoration on your side.
You’ll get so much more than
“do it yourself” information!
CREDIT REPORT
• An up-to-date Experian credit report, including
your personal credit score calculated and analyzed
by an independent service. caused by identity theft. This includes working
You should know: A credit report and your credit score (a
statistical analysis of your credit history) is reviewed by many
types of companies, from mobile phone service providers
and home loan lenders to potential employers.
CONTINUOUS MONITORING
• Continuous monitoring of your credit file at all
three credit repositories means you will be alerted
about new activity.
You should know: Credit monitoring is essential to discover-
ing if your credit file has been accessed to open new ac-
counts, if late payment notations are added, or collection
notices have been filed. In many cases, changes of address
and other public records are reflected in your credit file as
well. If not initiated by you, any of these actions can indicate
a potential identity theft.
IDENTITY RESTORATION
• Identity restoration means that licensed
investigators will work to correct damages
with affected public agencies, like the Social
Security Administration, the U.S. Postal Service
and law enforcement personnel. In addition,
fraud alerts will be sent on your behalf to all
three credit repositories and affected companies
and agencies. Finally, proactive searches of
applicable local and national databases will
be made on your behalf (to look for information
you may not be aware of).
You should know: If someone steals your identity and no
action is taken you can have serious problems when you try
to get a loan, apply for a credit card or during other types
of financial transactions. Creditors may also use collection
agencies to harass you to demand payments, even if it’s not
your debt. This crime can disrupt all aspects of your life.
