The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) continues to report that identity theft is the #1 fraud complaint they receive from consumers. If left unchecked, identity theft will impact your credit rating, lower your credit score, limit your ability to get a loan, have serious tax consequences and result in collectors calling on you for repayment of debts that you don't owe!

This workshop provides guidance on steps you can take to protect yourself from becoming a victim of identity theft and covers the five critical steps to take if you are already a victim. Arm yourself with the knowledge you need to minimize your risk and learn what to do if your personal information has already been compromised. You will also receive a copy of our Identity Theft Resolution Guide. After attending this workshop, you will know:

• How most identity theft takes place;
• What simple steps you can take to avoid an identity theft crisis;
• Who to contact if you become a victim; and
• What should be included in letters to your creditors and credit bureaus when your identity has been compromised.

The cost of this workshop is $40.00.
