One of Biggest mistakes made by Identity Theft Victims
www.ssnfraud.info One of Biggest mistakes made by Identity Theft Victims is reporting fraud and putting a fraud alert on your credit reports before looking at them and downloading them online. Yes you will have a hard time getting a new credit report after you put a fraud alert on. You will not be able to get reports online and you will probably be behind the 8 ball by at least 3 months. The new fraudulent accounts show up in that time you will have no idea exist and you will need knowledge of your own credit file and lots of ID to get your credit reports, including a birth certificate, drivers license, social security card, bank account number and credit card number, along with the current address in your credit file which may have been changed without you knowledge.
So always order 3 bureau credit monitoring or buy your credit files online from all 3 major credit bureaus online first.
When you order credit monitoring, you will get FREE credit reports!**
Also updates by email every time something changes in your file.
Order Free Credit Report & Score from TransUnion Now!
and order Credit Watch with Free Equifax Credit Report,
and also get a credit report from http://www.experian.com/
or from another source for credit reports.
