Closed Florida Company Under Speculation for Dumped Credit and Medical Files in Dumpster

In mid-July, an unidentified woman contacted authorities when she came across a dumpster in Orlando, Florida full of personal credit and medical records.

Orlando Police are investigating the situation, and are trying to find out who had access to the documents. The files were from a company called LV Financial Services, which strangely went out of business some five years ago–the question is, who had these files all this time and how did they end up in this random dumpster?

LV Financial was a credit debt collection company that obtained these files from companies looking to collect on old debts. Proper disposal should have included the documents being shredded, and authorities are shocked at how many peoples’ in formation were found openly available in the dumpster.

It is situations like these that should encourage others to invest in identity theft protection services and credit monitoring services to ensure that, if in fact they fall victim to a company that inappropriately disposes of documents, that their personal and financial history and future are protected from such personal, fraudulent attacks.
