I have not been able to get any help since my identity was stolen. Is there any one here who can help me? I would like to know which is the best place to go to. I have also written to FTC but still waiting for a response.
First you should dispute all the fraudulent charges on your credit card report and bills. They should take down all the negative info from the credit report. Once that is done you are good to go.
You should act immediately and be persistent. The four steps I would take include: 1. Closing any accounts that you believe have been tampered with, 2. Contact the three credit bureaus and place a fraud alert on your account, 3. File a report with your local police, 4. File a report with the FTC https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
You should try and contact griffin protection group (St Louis, MO). It is a company that deals with idenity theft and prevention. It was built by law enforecment so they have a lot of contacts that could get you answers.
