French law · Prepare your case, step by step
Organise an identity-theft response in France
An identity-theft file should distinguish risk after losing documents from fraudulent uses already discovered. List each organisation, reference and disputed transaction, then attach the available evidence. Reporting to the police and disputing records with organisations are separate actions. This organiser records the information; it cannot block accounts or replace urgent contact with the relevant bank or service.
Go to the organiserWhich issues should I examine in my file?
Is suspected misuse the same as documented identity theft?
Read this distinction: Suspicion following loss or disclosure of identity documents differs from confirmed fraudulent use; a police log and a criminal complaint respond to different factual stages. Record what your documents establish and what remains uncertain.
Does a police report resolve every organisation's records?
Read this distinction: A criminal complaint should include available evidence, but steps with a bank, creditor, platform or authority remain separate. Record what your documents establish and what remains uncertain.
Why track each fraudulent use separately?
Read this distinction: Map each fraudulent use—account, credit, fine or publication—because each organisation may require its own supporting records for a challenge. Record what your documents establish and what remains uncertain.
Which situations should I distinguish?
| Situation | Purpose | What to check |

Source 1 ↗Which documents make this file useful?
Start by locating these records: Screenshots, messages, web addresses, contracts or fraudulent notices received; Chronology of losses, disclosure of documents and discovered uses; Copy of the criminal complaint or police log and correspondence with each organisation concerned. Keep unknown or unavailable details marked as such; a checklist is not proof that a document exists.
What does the worked example demonstrate?
A person discovers an unfamiliar loan and a platform account using their details. Create separate tracking entries with the correct references and contacts for each discovered use. This fictional example demonstrates a preparation method, not the outcome of a real case.
Which mistakes can change the analysis?
Avoid these shortcuts: Sending new complete copies of identity documents to unverified recipients; Assuming that a criminal complaint automatically corrects files, debts, accounts or notices created through fraud.
Source 1 ↗Does completing the sheet submit a request?
No. The sheet organises your selected issue, available records and own notes. It sends nothing to an authority or another party, calculates no deadline and cannot suspend one. Copy the file and check the applicable procedure before acting. Create separate tracking entries with the correct references and contacts for each discovered use.
