Every year, close to 10 million Americans wind up getting their identities stolen. On average, each victim of identity theft loses $1,882, and then spend an additional $372 repairing their damaged credit score.

GreenPath Debt Solutions has announced that they will be offering workshops to show people what steps they can take in order to protect their identities. These workshops will be held in October from the 17th to the 23rd in various locations in New York, Michigan, Illinois, Arizona, and Florida. The workshops will be held free of charge by GreenPath, and will also allow people to shred important documents.

You can see a complete list of locations for these workshops, as well as the dates they will be held on at the GreenPath Debt Solutions website located at http://www.greenpath.com/other-pages/national-protect-your-identity-week.htm.
