REPORT
Credit Reporting Companies – Notify Equifax, Experian, or Transunion that you are a victim and request a fraud alert be placed on your
credit report. That company should notify the other two. A fraud alert is a simple note that lets creditors know someone may be fraudulently
applying for credit with your information. Notify Innovis separately because it does not share information with the others at this time.
During the phone call, if you have not already done so, request a free copy of your credit report. Request that the first 5 numbers of your
Social Security Number be blocked from your credit report.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) –The FTC prefers that complaints be filed online; however, if you do not have computer access, you may
file a complaint by telephone or mail. If you file a complaint online, you will be given a printed report that you can send to local law
enforcement agencies, creditors, and credit reporting companies. Take the printed report to a notary public and sign it. That can act as
your identity theft affidavit, if necessary.

Local Law Enforcement – Notify your local police or sheriff’s department that you are a victim of identity theft/financial fraud. Ask to make
a complaint. Request that an official written incident report be made, and ask for an official copy suitable for sending to creditors. If you
have an identity theft affidavit or complaint report from the FTC, ask that a copy be attached to your police report.
You may encounter resistance. If so, be polite but firm. Advise each entity that you will provide additional information as it becomes
available. If you are in Texas, you can politely remind an officer that Chapter 2 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure mandates that an
identity theft report be taken in the place where the victim lives.
