I recently had a friend that had their identity stolen.  My friend’s comments were, “I just feel so violated.  I can’t believe that someone I don’t even know has access to all my information.  I feel totally unprotected.” The Federal Trade Commission estimates that 9 million Americans have their identity stolen each year.  It’s a terrible experience to go through and one that everybody hopes to avoid.

Identity theft is when some uses your personally identifying information, like your name, social security number, or credit card, without your permission, to commit fraud and other crimes.  It happens many different ways.  Thieves may rent an apartment,  open a credit card account, or telephone account in your name.  You may not even know it has happened until you receive a phone call from a debt collector or review your credit report.

But, there is hope!  There are a couple of first steps you can take.  You can file a police report, verify your accounts, notify the three credit agencies, and dispute any unauthorized purchases.  It can be extremely demoralizing to have your identity stolen, but you don’t have to just let it happen.  You can act!  The Utah Identity Theft Lawyers of Druyon Law Office, have years of experience in helping people resolve stolen identities.  If you or a loved one has experienced this travesty contact someone who understands and someone who can help.  Contact Druyon Law Office today at 801-397-2223.
