Victory State Bank Points to Strategies for Victims of Identity Theft: Part 1: Filing a Complaint

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (AUG. 15, 2012) – Anyone who has ever dealt with the aftermath of having their identity stolen knows how difficult and time-consuming the process of repairing credit can be.

Beginning today, Victory State Bank will be begin a nine-part series highlighting Federal Trade Commission (FTC) tips for repairing your credit in the aftermath of ID theft.

ID Theft Complaint Form 

The FTC is the federal clearinghouse for identity theft complaints. The complaints we receive from victims are available to other federal, state and local law enforcement officials nationwide. 

The standardized printed ID Theft Complaint can be used in conjunction with a police report to create an Identity Theft Report that will help victims recover more quickly. 

Specifically, an Identity Theft Report can be used to permanently information from appearing on your credit report and also make sure that these debts do not reappear on your credit report. An Identity Theft Report can prevent a company from continuing to collect debts that result from identity theft, or selling them to others for collection. It’s also needed to place an extended fraud alert on your credit report.
