Identity theft is a common problem with devastating consequences for foster youth. Recently, Assembly member Brian Maienschein and Professor Jessica Heldman of San Diego School of Law’s Children’s Advocacy Institute introduced critical legislation to protect youth in the foster care community by requiring credit bureaus to place a security freeze on credit reports for foster youth. Just in Time is proud to be a co-sponsor of AB 2935!
“After having experienced identity theft and fraud myself, I don’t want to see anyone become victims of identity theft or fraud because I know first-hand how alone and helpless it can make you feel.
I spent countless hours on the phone forced to re-tell my story to a plethora of strangers who ultimately couldn’t help me.
I wrote an endless amount of applications and appeals to the credit bureaus, a tedious process to remove the fraudulent accounts from my credit report. All of this took several overwhelming years to take care of.
When first navigating the challenges of identity theft and fraud, every part of me wanted to give up, it felt like a never ending challenge with no finish line.
I felt disheartened knowing that this had been going on for years and felt overwhelmed trying to navigate fixing everything.
After several overwhelming years, I finally took charge of my life and fought the hardest I could. Now, today I have an 800 credit score!”
