Reducing The Effects Of Identity Theft

Criminals will not hesitate to exploit your stolen identity for fraudulent purposes. Therefore, it is crucial that you take immediate action to minimize the consequences of the theft. Here are some steps you can take to lessen the likelihood that identity thieves will use your identity.

  1. File a police report. Call your local law enforcement and furnish them with all relevant details regarding the incident of identity theft. You will need to provide a detailed report in order to file a claim with your credit card company.
  2. Alert credit reporting agencies. If you want to place a fraud alert on your credit reports, you should contact one of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion. This measure aids in preventing the opening of additional unauthorized accounts using your name.
  3. Review your accounts. Ensure that you regularly review your bank and credit card statements, along with your financial accounts, to identify any unauthorized transactions, and report any suspicious activity to your financial institution immediately.
  4. Contest false charges. Notify the companies involved in any fraudulent transactions or accounts that your identity was stolen. Dispute the charges and back up your claim with any evidence can. Close the accounts and create new ones with different usernames and passwords.
