Fully-Managed Recovery for Identity Theft victims is the most important feature a provider can offer. BUT, all “fully managed/full Service” recovery programs are not the same. There is no defined standard of service when using these terms, so it is crucial to understand what an excellent full-service provider does.
Imagine the anxiety of having your identity stolen, or you may know firsthand. The ability to turn to an expert who helps people every day is incredibly comforting. Without that place to turn, many wander looking for solutions to get their identity back. Few are successful, many do what they can but don’t know everything they must do. And to top it off, all of us who have been victims are more susceptible to having our identity stolen again.
So if we are serious about ensuring our recovery, we need to have the best resources to make that happen.
A well-developed, fully managed recovery service lays out a path to recovery.
Here is what a good program looks like
A good program includes Multi-Generation, fully-managed recovery for identity theft victims. You receive 24/7/365 support and access to a Recovery Advocate. You are covered regardless of the type of identity fraud, including but not limited to medical, financial, criminal, and acts of terrorism. Fully managed recovery provides you with peace of mind knowing, you will have access to a dedicated, certified Recovery Advocate.
