Posted on November 6, 2007 at 2:30 pm Some good suggestions in there. Luckily, I haven't been a victim of identity theft. I was however stolen from by a business partner. The one tip a lawyer gave me which proved to be very useful was that every letter I sent, I keep a photocopy of. Oh, and to always deal by letter and not by phone - that way I have a record of the event. When I ended up in court about 2 years later, trying to recover some of the money, the fact that I had proof of everything I had sent - and my opponent did not, was a real plus for me. In comparison to my opponent, I looked organised, professional and believeable - and I won. For ID theft, I would presume that it is vital to be able to prove that as soon as you realised, you tried to alert every organisation that you could. When trying to convince the police and credit companies that you did not spend that $3,500 in Aruba, copies of your correspondence will almost certainly help. Best wishes.
