Ever Wondered About The Necessity For An Identity Theft Attorney?

An identity theft attorney may very well be a victim’s last resort.Any current identity theft commercial on tv illustrates this point very well.

The identity theft stories being circulated suggest that law enforcement’s hands are tied in many instances. Computer identity theft can be initiated from half-way around the world and local police agencies simply cannot afford to extradite the perpetrators from other states or countries. The thief generally goes unpunished, leaving a theft attorney as the victim’s only resort.

This is in spite of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003, (FACTA). They define identity theft as: “When someone knowingly uses the identification of another person with the intention to commit any unlawful activity under federal and state law”. FACTA makes identity fraud a Federal felony.

A huge problem arises however, when the credit thief initiates the crime in a state other than your home state. This problem is courtesy of our own legal system.

Let’s say your car containing your wallet was stolen in Maryland where you reside. The thief flees to Pennsylvania, using your credit cards on the way (and before you report them stolen) in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania on his way.

He’s finally apprehended in Pennsylvania, He goes to court and only gets sentenced for auto theft, because of the stolen vehicle he was driving. He only used your card for a tank of gas in Pennsylvania so, big deal. No one seem to realize that by using your credit card, he was in fact assuming your identity, and as such could have been tried as an id thief, a Federal felony charge!

The following month you receive credit cards statements showing giant purchases in Delaware and New Jersey from businesses you didn’t even know existed! You call the banks and they tell you that these purchases were made before the cards were reported stolen and therefore you were liable.

Now, if you have had the foresight to invest in an identity theft protection plan from a company like Lifelock or even Prepaid Legal, you would be in good hands.

However, without a decent legal pre paid plan, your options are clear, hire an identity theft attorney, or attempt fighting them on your own! Not wanting to be gobbled up by the banks’ high powered corporate attorneys, you hire a local theft attorney of your own.

Problem number one arises, your Maryland identity theft lawyer is not a member of the Delaware and New Jersey Bar Associations. His, and your only choice is to refer the case to a qualified criminal larceny theft attorney in each of those two states. Without a reimbursement plan, do you see how this could quickly affect your financial well-being?

If a Theft Attorney is only effective in your home state, what’s the point?

The point is, you are using that attorney for his or her contacts and credibility among his or her peers. This is an expensive way to go but then again, how much do you value your “good name” and credit?

Secondly, banks and other financial institutions are not necessarily in business to help you. They are in business to make a profit. This point was clearly demonstrated in the recent banks bailout fiasco.

It is highly unlikely that they will resolve your situation willingly, especially if you had no legal representation. Think about this, banks are pretty much protected by FACTA to do almost anything to a consumer and not have to worry about state sanctions.

A ruling in your favor means that you would only be liable for $50 and they have to eat the balance, whatever it is. That wouldn’t be good business now, would it? Instead, they stick to the position that you will pay!

There are alternatives to this route, however to be frank, you are at the mercy of the system if you are already a victim. We have and will continue to stress that the best way to fight identity theft is to be pro-active. This is a case whereby the prevention is so much better than the cure! Hands down!

In our opinion, there is only one company, superbly equipped to handle this epidemic. They have access to identity theft attorneys in every state of the union, Hawaii, and even in 4 provinces of Canada.

We have never seen any other company do what this company has done in the field, and they have yet to air one silly identity theft video! All of their advertising is done by referral, word-of-mouth . The best part is, they operate on a single monthly, highly affordable membership fee! So affordable that we rationalize, if you can afford Starbucks twice a week, you can afford this service!

• No problem if a theft attorney is not able to practice in other states. They have law firms in EVERY STATE at your disposal.
• Creditors not receptive to your efforts of resolution? Not a problem. They will represent you within the guidelines they lay out before you enroll.
• An Identity theft attorney may want a huge retainer fee just to ‘take your case’. Not anymore. Your case is always taken at no additional cost unless you had prior knowledge (prior to your enrollment) of your identity being stolen.
• They will work with you, start to finish, until the issue is resolved.

The above is just a sampling of what their combination package ONLY, makes available to their members. The combination package consists of their Legal Plan as well as their Identity Theft Plan. Both plans can be subscribed to on an individual basis.

The stand-alone Identity Theft Plan does not make available the services of Their Law Firm Network and their array of  specialist lawyers. Please don’t misunderstand this detail! They are separate plans. Still, for less than what it cost to fill up the favorite SUV, we cannot see why anyone would want to not get the two plans together!

Please notice that we declined to mention the name of this company. This is as a result of our agreement with them. We respect their wishes. We are independent associates and are only allowed to continue marketing their products as long as we continue working within their guidelines.

Some people have said to us that since you market their products, then you must be ‘making money’ off of us. In the context of modern business, that is such a ridiculous comment.

Yes we are making a commission for our marketing efforts. Does Sears make any money ‘off of Whirlpool’ for selling their products? How about Ebay? How much money do you suppose they are making ‘off of their members?’ And finally, Google. The same search engine you may have just used to locate this web site. Of the billions they generate every year, how much of that is from a product and how much of that is made ‘off of you?’

The answer is 100%. Doing business in the modern world is what it is. Unless a company is involved in every step of the process necessary to successfully sell a product they produce, someone, somewhere (besides themselves), will be “making money off of it!”

Contact Us to get their name and a link to their web site, so that you too can have access to their network of lawyers, including a tax fraud attorney, a credit card lawyer, or an identity theft attorney if needs be. Unless of course you would rather not partake of this offer and its many priceless benefits, just so we don’t ‘make any money off of you!’ We’re totally okay with that!
