Barbara Wyle Atlanta, GA

In a daytime gunpoint robbery my husband's wallet was stolen. The Core ID recovery expert (CRE) provided expert information and assistance including actions to close accounts, notify the IRS, monitor personal information, and so many items we would not have thought about. The feeling of extreme vulnerability was relieved with calm assurance and prompt attention to all details. We are pleased with the continued monitoring of personal information because the risk does not go away in a few months.
