How to tell if your identity is stolen | Arlington (TX) Identity Theft Legal Help
Identity theft has telltale signs of disregard and smash-and-grab tactics, so if you’ve reviewed a credit report recently and have found these details, or have been served a notice of debt lawsuit, both can be indicators of I.D. theft.
Even if you’re certain an account isn’t yours, if you’ve been served a notice of lawsuit, the easiest path forward is compliance, and acting immediately. If you delay or put off dealing with a debt suit that’s not your own doing, it can quickly become your responsibility, as courts in Texas may leave responsibility with you for not showing up in court.
Call me at 817-738-1633 and we’ll determine if you have a stolen identity situation or not. If you have become the victim of I.D. theft, you’ll take the following steps:
1. File a report with the Police Department of whatever city you are living in. Here is a link for Arlington. https://www.arlingtontx.gov/city_hall/departments/police/reporting/File…;
2. File an FTC affidavit, or call me and I can assist you with that.
3. Freeze your line(s) of credit with TransUnion, Equifax, and/or Experian.
4. Call me for a consultation.
