Your Rights and Next Steps
If you have received services from or worked for Legacy Treatment Services, your personal information may have been compromised. It is important to protect yourself from potential identity theft or fraud. Lawyers are ready to help you understand your legal rights and options.
You can take the following proactive steps to safeguard your information:
- Monitor Your Medical Information: Regularly review your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements from your health insurance company. Contact your insurer or healthcare provider immediately if you notice unfamiliar or suspicious charges.
- Place a Fraud Alert: Contact one of the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion—to place a fraud alert on your credit file. This alert notifies creditors to verify your identity before opening new accounts.
- Request a Security Freeze: You may also request a security freeze from all three credit bureaus. A security freeze restricts access to your credit report, preventing new accounts from being opened without your explicit authorization.
- Obtain Free Credit Reports: Federal law entitles you to one free credit report per year from each of the three credit bureaus. Request your reports at https://www.annualcreditreport.com and carefully review them for any unauthorized activity.
- File a Police Report: If you suspect identity theft or fraudulent activity, file a report with your local law enforcement agency and obtain a copy of the report.
If your financial account or credit/debit card information was compromised, contact your financial institution immediately to discuss protective measures, such as closing or changing account numbers.
