What is an identity theft incident?

An identity theft incident occurs when an unauthorized person uses your personal information to commit fraud. Your personal information includes your name in combination with your Social Security number, account numbers, date of birth, address, email address and state or federal issued ID such as a driver’s license or passport. Types of identity theft may include account fraud, credit/debit card fraud, tax fraud, employment fraud, government documents and benefits fraud, medical fraud, and more.

How do I know if I have been a victim of identity theft?

If you see unfamiliar transactions on your credit card or bank account, you receive statements in the mail from a creditor you don’t recognize, or you find notations on your credit file for debts you did not incur, you may be a victim of identity theft. If you suspect that someone might be using your identity information, it’s always wise to check it out. If it’s a false alarm it will give you peace of mind knowing that your identity is secure. As an eligible checking account holder, you can take advantage of our team of dedicated fraud specialists standing by to help.

Do I need to be able to prove I am a victim of identity theft to be eligible for Resolution services?

No, if you are an eligible checking account holder and you suspect identity theft for any reason, a dedicated fraud specialist is available to you by calling 1-866-210-0361, Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. A dedicated fraud specialist can help to determine if you are a victim of identity theft and if you are not, they can put your mind at ease.

How will I know the status of my case?

As a victim, you will have access to the Resolution Care Center portal where you will create an account and will be able to request a single-bureau credit report. Your personal fraud specialist will keep you informed with case status updates through personal email and phone as well as messages through your Resolution Care Center account.

DARK WEB MONITORING

What is the dark web?

The dark web is a repository for criminal activity and a marketplace where identities and personal information are traded and sold illegally.

What happens if one of my shared elements is detected in the dark web?

An email alert (and text if activated by you) notification is generated when exposed information found on the dark web matches the information provided by you. You will need to view the alert and let us know if you recognize the alert. If you do not recognize it, a resolution specialist will reach out to provide assistance.

Is there anything I can do to prevent my information being discovered on the dark web?

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to keep your information from appearing on the dark web.

Why was an alert sent years ago?

Dark Web Monitoring will provide historical alerts since 2010 based on elements used during the initial enrollment and after that as new activity arises. You will likely get an alert within the first month showing any breaches of information involved in a breach since 2010.

What information is included in the alert?

An alert contains breach-related specific details such as the date compromised, where the information was found, compromised fields and the source of the breach. Most importantly, if you do not recognize the details in the alert, a resolution specialist will reach out to provide assistance.
