Font Online shopping has opened us to a whole new world of purchasing opportunities … and a whole new realm of fear. Each time the news reports that yet another company has been “breached” – the banks of information the company stores on its customers lost or stolen – our fears grow larger.
To make matters worse, most people who have their identity stolen are victims of people they know well – people who stole a social security number or other personal information because they had physical access to it.
The most damaging type of identity theft is known as “new account” identity theft. This type of fraud occurs when someone steals personal information, like your social security number, and uses it to open a new account in your name. The account might be a credit card, a checking account, or a new apartment – the point is that since it’s attached to your name and social security number, the charges go straight to your credit report and damage your reputation.
When new account theft occurs, it will likely be years before you find out about it. By then, your credit ratings will be a nightmare and your financial reputation ruined.
The good news is that you have an easy – and very inexpensive – safeguard if you live in one of the following states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont, or Washington. If you don’t live in one of these states, you’re going to want to keep a close eye on Congress as they try to pass laws extending the safeguard nationwide.
What’s the safeguard? Locking your credit reports.
How Does Locking My Credit Report Help?
When you (or an identity thief) attempt to open a new credit card account, the financial institution you apply to has to check your credit report. They use your credit report to determine how likely you are to pay back the money you borrow, and use this information to decide whether or not they are able to issue you a card.
If you have a credit lock on your account, the institution will not be able to see your report at all. If they can’t see your report, they can’t open a new account in your name.
do i need the account number or something?
i probably should call them to tell them about my new address.
