At Martin & Bontrager, APC, we are committed to guiding our clients through the complexities of credit fraud cases to secure their financial integrity and personal information.
Recognizing Credit Fraud
Credit fraud involves the unauthorized use of your credit or financial information to commit financial theft or fraud. This can include cases where your credit card details are stolen and used to make unauthorized purchases, or when your identity is used to open new accounts. Recognizing the signs of credit fraud early can help mitigate the damage. These signs include unexplained transactions on your bank statements, calls or bills for accounts you did not open, and unexpected declines of your credit score.
Legal Actions You Can Take
If you suspect that you are a victim of credit fraud, it’s important to act swiftly. First, report the fraud to your credit card issuer and credit reporting agencies to protect your rights and prevent further unauthorized activity. Following these initial steps, the role of a legal team becomes crucial.
