Dear Ms. Barrett:

Recently, Northwestern MedicaLEaculty Foundation learned that some patients' personal

identifying information may have been stolen from the Foundation's clinics at the Gaiter

Pavilion. The Cook County Sheriffs Department has investigated this and believes that a

temporary employee ofthe cleaning service that cleal1s the Foundation's offices in Gaiter stole

this information, which may include patient name, address, date of birth, and social security

number. This suspect had access to the Gaiter clinics from October 2008 to December 2009, but

we do not know the dates that security was breached or the specific information that was taken.

The Sheriffs Department recently gave us lists of potential identity theft victims obtained

through its ongoing investigation (the first list on March 25th, another April 2nd). We have

reviewed those lists ofindividuals to determine if any ofthese potential victims are also

Foundation patients. While the Sheriff's lists contained hundreds of names, only asmall

proportion appear to have been recent patients ofilie Foundation. We are writing to inform you

that you are among that group and iliat you may have been a victim ofidentity ilieft.

The Foundation truly regrets and apologizes that your personal information may have been

stolen from our clinics and misused. We are investigating how this breach may have occurred

and are working to understand the full extent of affected patients. Further, we are reviewing our

practices to ensure the safekeeping of your confidential information.

Finally, the Foundation would like to address your situation specifically and offer some future

protection against the misuse of your personal data by arranging for two (2) years of credit

monitoring through Equifax (Equifax ID Patrol). This comprehensive product will allow you to

monitor your credit file and automatically alert you ofsuspicious activity on your credit

accounts. Please see the attachment for additional information about Equifax ID Patrol and

emollrnent instructions. Unfortunately, the Foundation cannot emoll you in this service; YOU

NEED TO ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM TO RECEIVE THIS SERVICE. Although the

Foundation has arranged to pay for this service, your subsequent communication with Equifax

will remain private-NMFF will not be involved in your communications nor have access to any

of your personal information with Equifax.

RE: Theresa Ref: J. Barrett ..

Dear Counselor:

Our office received your recent correspondence regarding your client's personal credit report.

An alert was previousiy added to your client's Experian credit file. To add a new alert contact us again

when your client's current alert is due to expire.

Reference our letter sent to you in December 2011, our records indicate that we previously conducted

an investigation regarding the disputed information and we provided the results of our investigation

directly to your clien!.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a national consumer credit reporting company's

role in the dispute process is to investigate information to determine the accuracy and completeness

of any disputed item by contacting the source of the disputed information and informing them of all

relevant information regarding the consumer's dispute. If the issue is not resolved, then the consumer

credit reporting company must offer to include a consumer statement on the personal credit report.

The Federal Trade Commission (the government agency charged with enforcement of the FCRA)

does not require that the consumer credit reporting company obtain documentation such as the actuai

signed sales slips, signature cards, contracts, etc.; nor does it require that consumer credit reporting

companies act as mediators or negotiators in account disputes.

When a consumer questions information on his/her personal credit report and tell us specifically why

he/she believes the information is inaccurate or incomplete, we transmit the dispute to the source of

the information or to the third party vendor who collected the information from a public record source.

We ask the source or the vendor to conduct a thorough and complete investigation to verify all of the

information regarding the item questioned, and report back within 30 days of the date that we received

the request (21 days for Maine residents and 45 days for investigation of information on an annual

free credit repo,t).We review tha response to deterhline wh;:;therlo accept it, reject it, or foiiow up for

additional information. If we do not receive a response from the source or the vendor within the

required investigation period, we will update the item as requested or delete the information, and send

the consumer the results. In some instances, upon reviewing the credit file and any relevant

information the consumer submitted to us, we are able to determine whether the disputed information

should be changed or deleted without having to contact the source or the vendor. Once we have

concluded our investigation, we will send the consumer the results. In addition to a consumer's right to

dispute information in his or her credit file with the credit reporting agencies, a consumer also has the

right to dispute information in his or her credit report directly with the source of the information.

If a consumer questions the results of our investigation, then the consumer may wish to contact the

source of information directly or review the original information in the public record. A consumer

should refer to his or her original personal credit report for the source business or public records office

name, address, and phone number (if available).

RE: Theresa J. Barrett

Page 2 .

If a consumer disagrees with the results of our investigation, it is the consumer's legal right, under the

Fair Credit Reporting Act, to add a 1DO-word consumer statement specifying the nature of their

dispute. The statement will appear with the item as long as the item remains on the report. Any

further conc'erns regarding the item may need to be directed to the creditor reporting this information.

If you have any supporting documentation regarding the disputed information, please forward it

directly to my attention for review.

Please note that if we have aiready verified the accuracy of the accounts with which your client

disagrees, and no additional information has been provided to us, the disputed information will remain

a part of your client's personai credit report until either your client resolves it directly with the creditor

or until the statute of limitations has expired.

If you have any questions, please contact me directly for assistance.

Sincerely,

Douglas Hollon
