Your Rights and Next Steps
Review Your Account Statements: Keep a close eye on your financial statements. If you notice any unauthorized transactions, contact your bank or credit card company immediately.
Check Your Credit Reports: You're entitled to a free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus once a year. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com or call 1-877-322-8228 to request yours.
Consider a Fraud Alert or Credit Freeze: Placing a fraud alert on your credit reports can make it harder for someone to open accounts in your name. A credit freeze provides even stronger protection by restricting access to your credit report.

Be Vigilant: Stay alert for any signs of identity theft, like receiving bills for products or services you didn't purchase, or notices from the IRS about unreported income.
Report Identity Theft: If you suspect identity theft, report it to the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov, your local law enforcement, and your state Attorney General's office.
Know Your Legal Rights: Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have rights to ensure your credit information is accurate and to dispute errors. Familiarize yourself with these rights at the FTC website.
