Identity theft is a crime that affects millions of people every year. Unfortunately, many people do not find out that they are victims until they start receiving calls for debts they never incurred or until a bank rejects them for new loans or credit cards. Take action today by ordering your free credit report and checking for any signs of identity theft.
When reviewing your free credit report, pay close attention to the following:
Accounts listed - make sure it is an account that you have opened. If it is an account that has been opened recently and you know you have not taken out any new loans or credit cards that would flag up identity theft.
Inquiries for applications - check for ones you didn't place, this may suggest that someone has been trying to open accounts in your name. However, sometimes credit card companies who simply wish to send credit card offers to you make inquiries. Contact the company listed next to the inquiry to learn specifically why they made the inquiry.
Address - If you see an address where you have never lived, someone may have made an application in your name but with a different address. It could simply have been a clerical error, however find out which company updated your credit report with that address, then follow up with the company to learn how it got that address.
Your personal credit report is the best tool for detecting identity theft. If you have any suspicions, get your free credit report today. ORDER YOUR CREDIT REPORT
