How can an Identity Restoration Specialist help a customer?

If your identity is compromised, a dedicated Identity Restoration Specialist can help you in one of the following ways:

  • Help you resolve your identity theft case with merchants and other relevant parties, including credit card companies, financial institutions, government agencies, or other official entities.
  • Make three-way phone calls with you, if permitted (varies by region).
  • Guide you from the beginning to the resolution of your issue.

What is the average time for a restoration case?

Each case is unique, so the time required varies depending on its complexity. We assign a dedicated Identity Restoration Specialist to help you with your case from initiation to resolution.

What are the steps in the restoration process?

You can access the service using your web browser. To go to your identity dashboard:

  2. Collect potential identity theft information: The Identity Restoration Specialist gathers the information you provide to open a case.
  3. Assistance with merchants and third parties: Our Identity Restoration Specialist guides you through the process of contacting the merchants to help you resolve your case.
  4. Verify closure: Our Identity Restoration Specialist helps you close your case by ensuring you received the proper release letter from the merchants and third parties. The steps may vary per restoration case.
