About Fight Identity Theft
The goal of Fight Identity Theft is to make
you more aware of the risks of identity theft and to present clear
steps you can take to protect yourself. In addition, I try to present
all of this information with a clean, crisp site design, navigation,
and writing style.

of major internet publications. A few are:

This site is the work of a single person, Dave Nielsen. I've built
this site based on my interest and background in internet and credit.
I started using computers in 1978 on the Apple II and was first
online (using my "high-speed" 1200 baud modem) in 1989.
I've managed web sites for several Fortune 500 companies and for
internet start-ups. Working for one of those start-ups is what brought
me into the world of credit.
I was part of the the executive team that ran QSpace (http://www.qspace.com), the first company to offer credit reports over the internet. Even though QSpace has delivered close to 1,000,000 individual credit reports to consumers, you probably haven't heard of them. That's because they sell their products through large partners like Yahoo, e-Loan, InfoSpace, etc.
At QSpace I was able to work with the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, Trans Union) to develop new credit products. QSpace was the first company to offer credit scores and merged credit reports online in realtime. Since leaving QSpace, I've been researching identity theft. I've spent the past 2 years looking through all of the content available on the internet and I realized how confusing it must be for the average person.
That's the goal of Fight Identity Theft - keep the information clear and simple. Let me know if I've been successful.
