Welcome to the Wallet Recovery Kit.
This free, interactive guide contains the tools you need to minimize the damage and recover quickly, keeping your identity and your money as safe as possible. To do this, we focus on three Rs:
- Remove: We'll tell you the things that you should never carry in your wallet.
- Record: We'll lay out what information you need to write down and store away now.
- Recover: We'll tell you who to contact after your wallet goes missing -- and what to say when you speak with them.
Watch the video and then take a tour through the guide. The end product is a set of documents you can print out and store in a secure place. If the worst should happen, you'll have what you need to immediately stop the damage and start the recovery.
It's secure: None of the information you type in will be captured or tracked in any way by CreditCards.com because the sensitive information you'll enter never leaves your computer. You'll download helpful forms, fill them in and save them to your own computer. If you have concerns, you can just print out any of the blank forms and fill them out offline instead.
Let's get started!
