FTC ID Theft Affidavit The FTC provides an ID Theft Affidavit to help victims of identity theft quickly and accurately dispute new unauthorized accounts. It is especially helpful in cases where consumers are unable to file or obtain a police report. Some creditors will accept this affidavit instead of a police report.
The FTC's IdentityTheft.gov can assist attorneys who counsel identity theft victims. The site provides victims with a personal recovery plan, walking through each step to take. It also provides pre-filed letters and forms to send to credit bureaus, businesses, and debt collectors.
In most cases, taxpayers do not need to complete this form. Only victims of tax-related identity theft should submit the Form 14039, and only if they haven't received certain letters from the IRS.
