IdentityTheft.gov official recovery plans
If a breach notice turns into actual misuse — accounts you did not open, charges you did not make — the FTC's official site builds a free personalized recovery plan, generates an Identity Theft Report, and pre-fills letters to bureaus and creditors. No paid service is required.
