Federal Trade Commission, Guide for Assisting the Victims of Identity Theft (July 22, 2010) (full-text).
Overview[]
This Guide provides instructions and sample forms and letters for victim advocates to provide brief direct assistance to identity theft victims who can take basic self-help measures on their own, as well as detailed legal explanations, copies of statutes and regulations, and sample letters for advocates to intervene on behalf of those who cannot resolve their problems through self-help measures. Some regional private-sector organizations, such as the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego, do offer more extensive counseling and guidance for victims.
