New downloadable guides and legal form packages cut the risk of becoming a victim and help consumers cope with emerging legal issues involved with identity theft.
JACKSON, MS – It doesn’t matter if you are a two-year-old, a teenager, an adult, elderly, or deceased, no one is immune from having his or her identity stolen. Recognizing that advances in technology have made it easier to steal personal information, U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. today announced the release of five new legal form packages designed to help consumers prevent problems and to better manage the legal hurdles of identity theft.
“Clearing your name can be costly, time-consuming, emotional and frustrating. So we want to offer forms and resources that will help reduce the burden involved in dealing with identity theft,” said U.S. Legal Forms staff attorney Della Sellers who played a lead role in developing the materials.
New package offerings are as follows:
- Identity Theft Prevention Package – This package is designed to assist anyone in protecting their personal information and to help reduce the risk of identity theft or fraud. It offers practical information including a guide on how identity theft can happen and red flags to watch out for. It also includes legal forms and tips to protect your credit, financial, and other important records.
- Identity Theft Recovery Package – This package is for identity theft victims who need to effectively deal with creditors, government agencies and others after their identification is lost or stolen and a fraud has been committed. It includes letters to credit bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission, law enforcement and other agencies. It also includes an identity theft checklist and other forms that help organize and document an identity theft victim’s communications and correspondence.
- Protecting Minors from Identity Theft – This package is for minors or minor’s parents to help prevent and remedy problems associated with identity theft involving children. It includes a guide to help educate you and your child about the risks of identity theft and also legal forms and letters to help restore a minor’s identity.
- Protecting Deceased Persons from Identity Theft – This package can be used by survivors to prevent identity theft of their deceased loved one’s personal information and/or to address problems that have already occurred.
- Identity Theft from a Known Imposter Package – This package can be used by identity theft victims who know the person who has misused their personal information such as an acquaintance or relative. It enables the imposter and victim to work out a payment plan or arrangement to resolve issues associated with identity theft.
