FTC Identifies Additional Group of ChoicePoint Identity Theft Victims
Who May Qualify for Redress
The Federal Trade Commission has mailed claim forms for
reimbursement to an additional 1,500 consumers who may have been victims of identity theft due to
alleged security lapses at data broker ChoicePoint, Inc. In December, 2006, the Commission mailed
claim forms to 1,400 consumers who were identified with the assistance of law enforcement, with
instructions on how to file a claim. The FTC also has created a website - http://www.ftc.gov/choicepoint - where consumers who do
not receive a letter can download a claims form and obtain information about the claims process.
