8 Things You Must Do If Your Identity Is Stolen

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 14:12:24 -0600

There is nothing more scary than having your personal identification or credit cards lost or stolen. Hopefully you will never need to use this information, but here are 8 things you must do if your identity is stolen.

One tip that I would add at the top of this list is to be proactive and track your credit card expenses weekly. Don't wait for a phone call from your creditor. We are able to track our expenses through an online service so when we had our credit card number stolen we noticed immediately that fradulent expenses were made and were able to act quickly.

Identity thieves don't need to physically steal your wallet or purse to steal your identify so track your expenses regularly so fradulent charges don't unknowingly pass you by.

Hopefully the both of us can recover from our jet-lag soon.

If you plan on traveling to different timezones and want to recover quickly from jet-lag, here are some helpful tips.
