Counseling
Certified Recovery Advocates will review the case with you. They will make suggestions to stop the damage and the steps to protect your identity. For example, helping you place fraud alerts.
Research
Recovery Advocates may research credit reports, public record databases, and internet sources. Specifically, this is to uncover potential fraud beyond what you reported.
Remediation
We will assign a professional, certified Recovery Advocate to your case. They will provide many services on your behalf, as appropriate for your case.
Recovery
Your Recovery Advocate will work to expunge records caused by fraudulent activity. All in effort to restore your identity to its former state.
Identity Restoration
Restoring your identity on your own can be time-consuming and stressful. After a while, some people give up. This can leave them to contend with the aftermath of identity theft for years to come. This can include fraudulent bills, collections activity, damaged credit and even criminal records. But as your trusted community partner, we are not going to leave you behind! Whether protected by our complimentary coverage or through subscription coverage, DFCU will support you through the restoration process.
