How identity theft recovery actually works

Identity theft feels like chaos, but recovery is a checklist — and federal law does the heavy lifting once you invoke it correctly. Credit freezes are free at all three bureaus by federal law. An FTC identity theft report from IdentityTheft.gov serves in place of a police report for most purposes. And the strongest tool most victims never use: FCRA §605B requires credit bureaus to block fraudulent information from your report within 4 business days of receiving your identity theft report. The sequence:

  1. Lock it down (today, free). Freeze your credit at Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion; place a one-year fraud alert (any one bureau must tell the other two); file your FTC identity theft report; change passwords and turn on two-factor everywhere that matters.
  2. Block it from your report. Send each bureau the §605B block letter with your identity theft report and proof of identity. Four business days later, the fraud stops dragging your score down.
  3. Kill the accounts. Notify each defrauded creditor's fraud department in writing, and answer any collector with a not-my-debt identity theft letter — collection on identified fraud must stop.
  4. Play the long game. Upgrade to the 7-year extended fraud alert, get an IRS Identity Protection PIN, and keep the freeze on permanently — thaw it only when you actually apply for credit.

Do I need a police report?

Usually the FTC report is enough — it's designed to substitute for one. File a police report too if you know the thief, an account was opened locally, a creditor insists on one, or money was physically stolen. The kit covers how.

Will this cost me money?

The protections themselves are free by law — freezes, alerts, blocks, the FTC report, the IRS PIN. Don't pay monthly "identity protection" fees for what the law already gives you; this kit shows you how to do all of it yourself.

Right now, before anything else: if you know which account was hit, call that company's fraud line today and freeze or close the account. Then start Part 1.

Identity Theft Recovery Kit provides self-help document templates and general information, not legal advice, and is not a law firm. Procedures and protections are current as verified July 2026 and can change — verify current rules at IdentityTheft.gov. For large losses or ongoing criminal activity, involve law enforcement and consider an attorney.
