Identity Theft Prevention for the Workplace

Protect your organization from America’s fastest growing crime.  Identity theft will cost businesses more than $50 billion dollars this year but your business doesn’t have to be one of them.

If your organization is looking for a way to educate its customers on how to handle financial problems, Sonya Smith-Valentine’s presentation is the answer.  When a mistake occurs in your clients’ financial life, they don’t always know which way to turn.  Their first reaction is to call the company that appears to be the source of the problem hoping they’ll fix their mistake.  The correction process can be a source of frustration and, if handled incorrectly, can negatively affect your clients’ personal financial standing.  It takes in-depth knowledge on who to contact, how to contact them, and when to contact them to ensure proper resolution of the issue.  Sonya’s presentation will empower your customers with knowledge of their financial rights. They will learn how to effectively respond when a credit or debt problem occurs.
