What To Do If You Think You Have Become A Victim Of Identity Fraud
If you suspect you've become the victim of identity theft, the first thing you'll need
to do is get copies of your credit report from all three national credit bureaus to
see for yourself what activity has been added to your credit file. If you certify
that you suspect you are the victim of fraud, you are entitled to a free copy of your
credit report from each bureau. Contact their fraud hotlines for assistance:

Unfortunately, if you have been the victim of identity theft, there will be quite
a few things you'll need to do to clear your credit history of the fraudulent activity. Start by signing up for a free credit report and trial membership to the CreditCheckŠ Monitoring Service and get on the road to protecting your credit
