Tips on Organizing Your Case
Accurate and complete records will greatly improve your chances

requested.
- Keep copies of all correspondence or forms you send.
- Write down the name of anyone you talk to, what he

theft is that errors can reappear on your credit reports or
your information can be re-circulated. Should this happen,
you'll be glad you kept your files.
