Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. The FTC estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. In fact, you or someone you know may have experienced some form of identity theft. The crime takes many forms. Identity thieves may rent an apartment, obtain a credit card, or establish a telephone account in your name. You may not find out about the theft until you review your credit report or a credit card statement and notice charges you didn't make—or until you're contacted by a debt collector.

The problem most people face is how to deal with this? What other information do these thieves have about you? How do I approach the authorities and credit reporting agencies? This is why you need a Private Investigator and PBI is well equipped to help you through all of these issues by providing you with detailed declarations of our investigation that you can use in your case with the credit bureaus, law enforcement personnel and legal action.
