Last year alone, 13 million Americans became the victims of ID theft.  

In a market overflowing with solutions that take a daunting do-it-yourself approach to credit re-establishment, ID TheftSmart’s licensed investigators simply do more. ID TheftSmart’s investigators have thousands of hours of experience — more than any other company in the industry — helping people to determine the extent of their exposure to risk, and to restore to a pre-theft status as quickly and efficiently as possible as an advocate on your behalf.

ID TheftSmart’s licensed investigators handle identity theft issues with a three-staged defense.

Identity Theft Protection

  • Consult on best practices for managing Personal Identifying Information (PII)
  • Provide safety guidelines for communicating and interacting online
  • Provide cardholders information about their rights under federal and state laws
  • Consult on best practices for consumer privacy
  • Access to a personal advocate if identity theft occurs

Identity Theft Detection

  • Provide an action plan when information has been compromised
  • Help with interpreting and analyzing credit report
  • Fraud alert assistance
  • Credit freeze consultation
  • Provide personal assistance when suspicious issues extend beyond initial findings

Identity Restoration

  • Confirm identity fraud and identify its nature and scope
  • Assist in obtaining a police report
  • Provide tri-merged credit report and perform full non-credit searches
  • Work on behalf of members until all identity theft issues have been verifiably resolved
  • Place seven-year fraud victim statements with credit reporting agencies when applicable 

ID TheftSmart’s licensed investigators attack the issue before, during, and after someone becomes the victim of identity theft. This multifaceted approach allows all members to benefit from the experience and expert consultation provided by the investigators. They address the issue of privacy and best practices before an event, action after a data exposure, and restoration services in the unfortunate event of an identity theft occurrence.
