A MESSAGE FROM SHERIFF GREGORY J. SEABOLT

Identity Theft
Realizing you are a victim of identity theft can be both traumatic and confusing. It is difficult to figure out how to reclaim your good name and make sure you do not become responsible for the debts incurred by the identity thief in your name. This Identity Theft Victim Kit is designed to help you through this maze-like process. The Kit provides tips about how to remove this blemish from your record. It also includes an Identity Theft Affidavit (can be completed online with link included) that will help you report information to many companies using just one standard form and a link to file a dispute with credit bureaus regarding fraudulent activity.  Download Kit
