FTC to Study Identity Theft Victim Experience

  • Posted on July 8th, 2008

  • In The Wallet

The FTC is executing a study to examine the experience of identity victims when they call into one or more of the credit reporting agencies. The study will focus on consumers who contacted the FTC between January 1 and May 30, 2008.

The base for this study is under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003 (FACT Act), which the FTC is using to analyze the remedies that are available to identity theft victims. The overall outcome expected from this study is that the FTC can learn more about  how to better enforce this and other laws that effect these victims and also to better educate both consumers and the reporting industry about their rights and responsibilities.

The President’s Identity Theft Task Force was a strong backer of the survey idea and they are taking the initiative to carry out the entire study.

US Government Mixed Messages on Social Security Number Use

An Associated Press article out today makes a good point about the government’s mixed messages on social security number uses.  For all the good work the Federal Trade Commission has done on identity theft awareness and prevention, other government agencies aren’t helping us follow the FTC’s advice.   Among some of the contradictory advice, while the FTC tells us to guard our social security number carefully and not keep it in our wallet.  However, the article cites the fact that Medicare insurance cards (44 million of them) include the individual’s social security number.

Some legislators have caught on to the problem and are trying to push through changes.  In the meantime, be as careful as you can with your SSN and check your credit report throughout the year to make sure your identity really is yours.

The Identity Theft Resource Center has released new research citing a 69% increase in data breach disclosures in 2008.   The top reason for a data breach continues to be lost or stolen laptops, but “insider” theft increased percentage wise to nearly 16% of the breaches reported.  Forty-four states and DC now have data breach notification laws, so data breach plans must rising in importance to compliance officers and business managers.  Kudos to the ITRC for the detailed research.

Summer Travel Tips - Tip #2 Turning Dollars into Dinars

  • Posted on June 11th, 2008
  • |
  • On The Go

With the US Dollar at the weakest levels that this writer can remember, if you’re leaving the country, you’ll want to try to get the best exchange possible.  Usually you can get the best deal by using your ATM card to withdraw money overseas.  You may pay ATM access fees and your bank may charge an exchange fee  (around 3% - check with your bank before you go), but overall it will cost you less than other options.  Using your credit card for purchases when possible is also a good way to get better exchange rates.  FlyerGuide has more details to help you decide which way is best for you.

A note on using foreign ATMs - use ATMs at an actual brick and mortar bank location instead of a stand-alone one when possible.  If your pin begins in a zero you may want to change it before you leave.  Some foreign ATMs don’t give that as an option.  Also, memorize your code as a number as some are not labeled with corresponding letters.

And if your ATM card is ever “eaten” by a machine, notify your bank right away so they can put a hold on any further transactions.  Another reason to bring a backup!

It’s the fourth day in a row that Washington, DC has displayed the atmospheric properties of a sauna turned up to maximum, so it seems appropriate to talk about summer travel. Over the next few days, Me & Me will share some of our favorite practical travel tips:

Tip #1 - Bring a Backup

Things get lost, forgotten, or nabbed by thieves. It happens, but it doesn’t have to derail your trip. Store a backup credit card and some cash in your hotel safe - this way if your wallet or purse is no where to be found, you’ll still have instant access to funds (keep your passport, travel documents, and other valuables in the safe while you’re at it).

Full Scope of China Earthquake Still Being Assessed

  • On The Go

The large 7.9 earthquake that hit Sichuan province in China yesterday has had a massive human toll, with CNN reporting that are 12,000 believed dead with tens of thousands still buried under the ruble as of this posting.  The damage to infrastructure and communications is disrupting travel to and from the region and its major city most affected, Chengdu.  Chengdu’s airport was reopened on Tuesday, but travelers should still expect delays because of priority going to emergency aid mobilization and repairs.

With China hosting the Olympics at the end of this summer, officials have been quick to assure the public that none of the Olympic venues in Beijing (950 miles away) were damaged.

Medicaid option allows more flexible care choices for seniors

  • At Home

As the need for senior home care services increases further than the supply, a number of states are looking to creative ways to arrange for elder care.  One of these, Cash and Counseling, is expanding 18 states in 2008 according to this article.  The program pays a stipend equal to the amount that would be paid for traditional home care services and allows the client, with the help of licensed counselors, the ability to select and arrange the mix services that are needed.  The move is an effort to provide a more personally friendly and cost effective care option than a nursing home.

Unbundling Airfares

  • Posted on May 5th, 2008

  • On The Go

It started with cocktails, then meals, now the airline industry is moving towards charging additional fees for other things travelers like to have.  Want a window or an aisle seat?  Get ready to pay more than your buddy in the center.  Companies like JetBlue and US Airways are unbundling their fares in new ways, in an attempt to deal with higher fuel costs.

It may seem like nickel and diming, but I would do almost anything to avoid the dreaded center seat!  My completely unsubstantiated prediction is that the next level of unbundling will be charging to use the overhead compartment.  May be difficult to administer, but I’m sure someone will figure out how to make it work.
