"When 50 percent of individuals who try to fix identity theft on their own are still struggling with fallout after five years following an instance of fraud, we've stepped in to take on that challenge to ensure 100 percent recovery to pre-breach status in less time," says Tom Kelly, president and CEO of ID Experts.
