Visit the Federal Trade Commission’s web site at IdentityTheft.gov for the most up-to-date information on combating identity theft. The site provides detailed advice to help you fix problems caused by identity theft along with the ability to:

  • Get a personal recovery plan that walks you through each step.
  • Update your plan and track your progress.
  • Print pre-filled letters and forms to send to credit bureaus, businesses and debt collectors.
  • Report it to the Federal Trade commission.
  • Place a fraud alert and get your credit reports. A fraud alert is free. It will make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name. To place a fraud alert, contact one of the three credit bureaus. That company must tell the other two.
  • Get your free credit reports from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion at annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.
