Money makeover

Look inside

A victim of a security breach, Mike determines whether an ID thief made use of his personal information.

Tens of thousands of dollars are stolen from various merchants and creditors by the fraudulent use of Mike's information.

Mike enlists help to protect his accounts from further damage, close compromised accounts and clear fraudulent transactions.

This couple received a Money Makeover last year. Since then, they were able to shed their dreadful option ARM.
