Feb 2010: Completing the ID Theft Affidavit
To make certain that you do not become responsible for the debts incurred by the identity thief, you must provide proof that you didn’t create the debt to each of the companies where accounts were opened or used in your name.
A working group composed of credit grantors, consumer advocates and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) developed this ID Theft Affidavit to help you report information to many companies using just one standard form. Use of this affidavit is optional. While many companies accept this affidavit, others require that you submit more or different forms. Before you send the affidavit, contact each company to find out if they accept it.
