Identity Theft Protection Guide - This form contains essential information to prevent identity theft. It is designed to assist a person in protecting their credit, financial assets, and job opportunities, as well as preventing the misuse of benefits, false arrests, and other fraudulent uses of their identifying information. Letter to Credit Card Issuer Regarding Replacement Card - This form is used by a person whose credit card has expired to notify a credit card issuer that he or she has not yet received a replacement card. It can also be used by an individual to inquire whether the credit card issuer has changed the individual's address and/or has sent a replacement card to another address in the individual's name. Letter to Creditor or Service Provider Regarding Receipt of Bills - This form is used by a person to notify a creditor or service provider that he or she has not yet received a particular bill for a particular month. This form is also used by a person to inquire whether the creditor or service provider has changed the individual's address and/or has sent a bill to another address in the individual's name. Letter to Remove Name from Mail Marketing Lists - This form is used by a person who wishes to prevent identity theft by having their name and home address removed from mail marketing lists. This process helps to decrease the amount of national non-profit or commercial advertising mail a person receives at their home address. Letter to Credit Reporting Bureaus or Agencies to Prevent Identity Theft - This form is used by a person to request a credit report, as well as request that the credit reporting company take other precautions to help prevent identity theft. Such precautions include adding a consumer alert to the individual's credit file, removing the individual's name from any mail marketing lists or promotions to any entity, not changing the individual's mailing address or telephone number without written verification from the individual and not issuing a credit report in the individual's name to anyone other than the individual without the individual's consent.

III. LEGAL DOCUMENT STORAGE Once you prepare legal documents and forms in your U.S. Legal Forms™ Identity Theft Prevention Package, it is highly recommended that you keep forms together. An optional USLegal Life Documents Organizer – small or large size is available for purchase from www.uslegalforms.com to help store your legal documents. Legal documents should also be kept in a very secure place such as a bank safe deposit box or personal home safe. You may wish to tell your attorney or a family member about the location of any of your essential Legal Life Documents in the event you are unable to communicate it to them when needed. IV. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand. It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and the form fields will be visible. By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner. V.
