Who to Notify If You Suspect Theft

In the event you are victimized by the theft of any of your personal information, immediate action is mandatory to minimize the damage. File a crime report with your local Police department, and request a copy.

Contact your bank and all of your creditors by telephone immediately to report the situation, and follow up your call with a letter outlining the suspected fraud. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends you maintain a correspondence file of all of your communications with credit agencies, financial institutions, and other parties contacted about the theft. Detail all conversations, correspondence, and actions you’ve taken.
