___________________________________

This packet is for you to keep and contains information to assist you in the correction of your credit and

to help ensure that you are not responsible for the debts incurred by the identity thief. In addition, this

packet includes information that will allow you to obtain financial records related to the fraudulent

accounts and provide those records to law enforcement, without which we cannot continue an

investigation sufficient for prosecution. We recognize that some victims are only interested in the

correction of their credit and do not necessarily wish to cooperate with our investigation; therefore, we

request that you only submit this packet to the York County Sheriff's Office if you desire to assist with

our investigation. It is important to understand that in the event a suspect is identified and arrested

and the case proceeds to court, you as the victim would be required to participate in the prosecution

of the person charged.

You will need to complete the dispute letters and provide us with necessary documentation before we

can continue the investigation into your case. Examples of the document evidence we need are on the

last page of this packet. Without document evidence, we cannot continue the investigation. Please

write your report number on copies of documents you send us. In identity theft cases it is difficult to

identify the suspect(s) as they often use inaccurate information such as addresses and phone numbers.

Frequently the investigator cannot find evidence to prove who actually used your name and/or personal

information. It is important to note that even if the suspect cannot be identified for prosecution, it will

not affect your ability to correct the fraudulent activity and remove them from your credit.

Note:



If you suspect someone is using your personal information for employment and there is no

evidence of other identity fraud, see the section for contacting the Social Security

Administration under Additional Useful Information. Do not contact the employer directly as

they may warn the suspect employee.
