Identity Theft in California: How the FCBA, EFTA and FCRA Protect You - and What to Do Next
California has long been a hotspot for identity theft, thanks to its large population, tech-driven economy, and concentration of data-driven businesses. From Los Angeles to Sacramento, thousands of consumers each year discover that their personal information has been misused - credit cards opened in their name, bank accounts drained, or credit reports wrecked by fraudulent activity. If you’ve been a victim of identity theft in California, federal laws like the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA), and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) offer critical protections.
