Identity Theft Protection FAQ
Should I Monitor My Credit Reports?
Yes. There are 3 main credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Check these regularly for unauthorized usage, unexplained debt. You can also freeze your accounts through these bureaus so nobody can run a credit check with your information.
What Should I Do if I Think My Identity Has Been Stolen?
File a report with your local law enforcement agency. You will need that report in order to file with your insurance. Call your bank and credit card companies to cancel your cards.
What is the Difference Between Identity Theft and Data Theft?
When someone is able to obtain your personal information, that is called data theft. When they use that information for unlawful purposes, that is called identity theft.
