COMPLETING ID THEFT CLAIM

To make certain that you do not become responsible for any debts incurred by an identity thief,

you must prove to each of the companies where accounts were opened in your name that you

didn’t create the debt. The ID Theft Affidavit was developed by a group of credit grantors,

consumer advocates, and attorneys at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for this purpose.

Importantly, this affidavit is only for use where a new account was opened in your name. If

someone made unauthorized charges to an existing account, call the company for instructions.
