How to Provide Documents For The FTC
Here are some important tips on how to provide documents for the FTC, for shoppers and merchants.
What documents do I need to file with my complaint?
None. The only thing you need to file with the FTC is your complaint. Please do not send the FTC your completed ID Theft Affidavit, your police report, your credit reports, financial information, or any other documents relating to your case. If a law enforcement agency decides to open an investigation on your case, they will contact you directly and let you know what documents they need.
