Another Identity tagged “Criminal”

May 16th, 2009 by Certified Identity Theft Advisor

When an identity theft uses your good name while they commit crimes, you become the criminal. You become the name on the arrest warrant. You become the person arrested.

What You Can Do

Like Medical Identity Theft, Criminal Identity Theft is difficult to straigten out, as you have seen from the previous videos. This is an area where most paid protection plans completely miss the boat.

If you have a plan that monitors criminal databases, that will be an early detector of the problem, but how do you exponge the damage done? Unless you are a lawyer by profession, not only is it difficult to connect the dots in the criminal mess, but you word on the matter doesn’t usually carry much immediate weight. It more likely turns into WAIT for further investigation and proof.

Because of the issues with Medical and Criminal identity theft, I would not be without a complete, guaranteed identity theft restoration plan.
