What Should You Do?
If you received a notice from The Speech Clinic, LLC, review it carefully for any identity theft protection enrollment offer and sign up before any deadline passes. Even if no offer is made, you can place a free fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to help prevent unauthorized accounts from being opened in your name. Check your credit reports regularly at AnnualCreditReport.com and monitor your financial accounts for suspicious activity. Because this is a healthcare provider, also review your Explanation of Benefits statements and any medical records for services you did not receive, which can be a sign of medical identity theft. If you suspect misuse of your information, visit IdentityTheft.gov for step-by-step recovery guidance.
