Rather than voting to proverb

 Rather than voting to protect consumers, the Committee made things worse. All consumers should have the right to sleep at night without worrying about identity theft -- this bill takes us in the exact wrong direction.

 With identity theft being one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States, it is crucial that consumers monitor their identities and adopt good practices for protecting themselves. Only through a combination of proactive monitoring and education can consumers understand how identity theft happens, how to protect themselves, and what steps to take if their identity is stolen. First Community Bank is pleased to provide this informative seminar in an effort to create more awareness and help protect the citizens of this community.

 It is vital that consumers take the initiative to protect their identity. Something as simple as shredding your unneeded personal documents, instead of throwing them in the garbage, can truly make a difference in protecting yourself from identity theft.

 It is ironic that after a year in which over 55 million Americans' identities were put at risk through preventable data breaches, the House Financial Services Committee would repeal state laws that have protected consumers from identity theft.

 Recent reports show ID theft topped the FTC list of fraud complaints again in 2005, indicating both heightened incidence and awareness of the crime. While awareness is an important first step for consumers, education is critical to preventing identity theft. This underscores the importance of experts like Lance in raising the visibility of best practices and emerging fraud tactics both on and offline, offering credible resources useful in protecting against the damage identity theft begets.

 At a time when consumers are worrying about whether or not they can afford to heat their homes this winter or fill up their gas tank, it is unconscionable that the Republican leadership put forth yet another energy bill that does nothing to lower prices for consumers or increase conservation,

 Although the Internet is responsible for its share of identity theft, studies have shown that use of the Web and other electronic means such as ATMs can actually help consumers remain vigilant against theft because they can monitor their accounts multiple times over the course of month.

 The approach we take to identity theft is to put the burden on consumers to take steps to prevent it.

 Time is a crucial factor when a consumer is a potential identity theft victim. With tools and technologies available today from companies such as Equifax, consumers gain a unique advantage over identity thieves looking to prey on their most valuable asset.

 This is legislation that consumers deserve if we are to help them and our economy defeat the growing menace of identity theft.

 A BBB/Javelin study found that identity theft victims who discovered the crime through electronic means averaged a smaller monetary loss than those who found the theft on their paper statements. By contrast, consumers who rely on paper statements might have to wait days or even weeks, depending on the statement cycle, before learning that a theft had occurred, increasing the chance that larger sums could be stolen.

 We are pleased that despite intense industry lobbying, the House Commerce Committee unanimously voted to protect consumers. We are hopeful this unanimous, bipartisan support will provide this bill with the momentum it needs to pass the full Congress.

 This bill protects vulnerable consumers without cutting off credit for lower income borrowers. It’s time that all American consumers have the protection that North Carolina consumers now have,

 [Rep. George Miller ( news , bio , voting record ) of California, the ranking Democrat on the Education Committee, said the religion provision marred an otherwise strong bill.] That is wrong, ... It is a violation of our civil rights laws and it has sunk the chances of making this important bill a truly bipartisan bill.

 The rising number of cases involving identity theft meant some consumers were losing confidence in online financial services.
