Ways that Accounts Receivable Agencies Can Prevent Child Identify Theft

By Rob Sutter


Identity theft is one of those areas which, in my mind, are some of the worst instances of crime in the world. People may find that their information has been compromised by those who are avoiding utilizing their own names. While there may be many reasons as to why identities are stolen, a good number of cases involve the avoidance of debt. This is important to note because this area is one that accounts receivable agencies can work to correct and allow names to be uncompromised once more.

An article that was shown on jacksonsun.com referred to a woman in Florida, Olivia, who tried to sign up for a credit card as she was beginning her academic career in college. However, she was denied access to a card, the reason being that her Social Security number was seemingly not hers. One's finances are can be compromised heavily due to this idea, as you could very well imagine. It also goes without saying that this concept can be as worse, if not more severe, than anything related to credit.

Unbeknownst to Olivia, she was a victim of identity theft since she was nine years old. According to the article, thanks to this instance, a staggering amount of debt amounting to $1.5 million was piled on under her name. The reason for so much in the way of debt came from the opening of many accounts including but not limited to auto, mortgage, and credit cards. Considering that the accounts opened went to over 40, you can imagine just how big of an issue this is.

One may not think that child identity theft is one of the worst forms of theft in the world but it's actually a more detrimental issue than most would think. I believe that this is a matter where accounts receivable agencies can come into the picture and work to correct the problem. I believe that there has to be a case of different numbers being utilized in the future but the truth is that such agencies operate in order to clear up these financial crises. When you consider this, there should be no reason why companies like Rapid Recovery aren't hired on.

As far as monetary problems are concerned, this is one that I find to be the most severe. The reason that I say this is because debt is continually piled on and I think that many people will be lost as to what to do when it occurs. The best advice that I can give is to keep a continual watch over what you spend and how your bank accounts are operated. If you notice a payment made that you did not give, chances are that you will have the ability to act upon them faster.
