What type of support can I expect with Equifax® Identity Restoration?

Each consumer is assigned a dedicated restoration specialist who will assess the facts of the case to determine eligibility and the type and nature of the identity theft that has occurred. The restoration specialist will collect a claims kit from you. The claims kit includes a limited power of attorney that authorizes your restoration specialist to work with creditors, the IRS, merchants, banks and other third parties on your behalf.
