Information for T.J.Maxx/Marshalls Customers

Recently T.J.Maxx/Marshalls clothing stores announced that its computer records of customer information and or financial information may have been compromised. T.J.Maxx/Marshalls sent generic form letters to its customers nationwide advising them to contact their local department of motor vehicles (DMV) for assistance.

The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles has a process in place for those customers who have evidence of identity theft or fraud related to their driver’s license. However, DMV can only offer assistance if the customer has actual evidence of identity theft or fraud in connection with their driver’s license number.

DMV is not aware of any driver’s license fraud related to the compromised T.J.Maxx/Marshall customer information data base.

Customers with West Virginia driver’s licenses who have specific evidence of fraudulent use of their driver’s license number in connection with their transactions with T.J.Maxx/Marshalls should contact DMV in writing with evidence of the identity theft or fraud. An investigator will be assigned to resolve any issues. Due to the sensitive nature of this information, these issues can not be handled by phone. Please direct your written inquiry to the following address:
