Raritan Valley Community College Partners with ID Resolution to Provide Identity Theft Services to Students and Faculty and Staff
BRANCHBURG, N.J., Sept. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing that college communities are increasingly the target of identity theft, Raritan Valley Community College has partnered with ID Resolution to offer peace of mind to full-time students, faculty and staff as part of an effort to protect them from the ever-increasing risk of identity theft. RVCC is providing ID Resolution's proprietary WRAP service to every victim or suspected victim of identity theft, allowing them unlimited access to a personal Fraud Specialist who will facilitate the resolution of virtually any identity related problem from start to finish.
"At RVCC we take a holistic approach to the lives of our students, faculty and staff. Along with supporting their educational, social and emotional growth, the addition of Identity Theft services and our partnership with ID Resolution will offer another layer of support at this vulnerable time in their lives," said John Trojan VP of Finance & Facilities. "We are proud that RVCC is at the forefront of providing new and meaningful services and programs in a rapidly changing world. Clearly identity theft is very real, it's not going away and we felt a need to address it."
According to the Federal Trade Commission, those age 29 years old and under were the largest Identity Theft complainant group in 2014 with 24% of total complaints. For many students, college is their first foray into an adult world full of newly realized responsibilities. Many are managing bank accounts and credit cards for the first time, dealing with medical insurers and paying bills online. This a world fraught with danger to their financial and personal well being as they learn the importance of security regarding passwords, personal information online, use of social media, using unprotected Wi-Fi networks and more.
"Identity Theft knows no social, economic or age boundaries, and colleges and universities are showing increased interest in having services to support their students and employees who become victims of identity theft," said Nick Williams, ID Resolution's CEO. "RVCC is showing great leadership as they address the issue head on and provide ID Resolution's services to assist college staff and students dealing with what can be a very complex problem."
ID Resolution's WRAP service provides every victim or suspected victim of identity theft unlimited access to a personal Fraud Specialist who will facilitate the resolution of virtually any identity related problem from start to finish. The Fraud Specialist works with creditors, agencies, law enforcement, professional associations, credit reporting agencies and collection companies. The Fraud Specialist also works with the victim when necessary, to place fraud alerts, credit freezes and suppressions with the three credit bureaus. ID Resolution's WRAP service provides extensive credit and personal data monitoring products when deemed appropriate at no additional charge to the victim.
