One of the most frustrating aspects of Identity Theft is that, unlike other crimes in the United States, victims are guilty until proven innocent.
Victims are responsible for releasing their names and protesting fraudulent debts.

Identity Theft Resolution Counseling
Resolving Identity Theft issues is complicated. Once you have become a victim, it can be an overwhelming task to maneuver through information and determine the steps you must complete to resolve your particular Identity Theft issues.
You may experience difficulty finding the right sources of information on the Web or the correct phone number or mailing address for the agencies you must report to in your area. Adapting templates or composing letters to describe your specific situation can also be a cumbersome task. In addition, documenting all your efforts and maintaining a record for follow up is a part of the remediation process that can become a time-consuming nightmare if done without assistance.
It is traumatic enough to be a victim of Identity Theft or Fraud without the pressure and hassle of learning what to do and resolving the issue yourself. The victim should not be expected to do it all without guidance or assistance.
The counselors at CCCSSA have been trained to listen to your situation and partner with you to help resolve your Identity Theft situation.
Whether you are simply overwhelmed by the crime and want someone you can trust to complete the steps to remediation for you or you want to stay involved and do it yourself, CCCSSA counselors can help you determine the level of assistance that best addresses your needs.
