Summary
The bill lets a consumer send a certified‑mail notice, with supporting evidence, to a creditor claiming a debt is the result of identity theft. The creditor must halt collection, investigate within 30 days, and either permanently stop collection if the debt is confirmed as identity theft or notify the consumer of the findings. Consumers can then sue the creditor, demand a jury trial, and recover damages and attorney fees.
