Recovering your identity from a thief can be overwhelming as well as costly. But with The Hartford’s Identity Protection Support Service, you’ll have the help necessary to cover all of the groundwork.
With our help you can ultimately remove the “thumbprints” of a thief from your credit history and other personal records. Your case worker will walk you through all of the steps listed below. When necessary, we’ll provide you with phone numbers or transfer you to the right agencies. We’ll also provide educational materials and a kit to help you keep track of your actions. And we’ll be on your side through the entire process.
