First, take advantage of the complimentary one-year membership of Experian IdentityWorks Credit 3B being offered. This service provides credit monitoring, identity restoration support and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.
Next, review your account statements and monitor your credit reports for any suspicious activity. Every consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
