Steps You Can Take to Help Protect Personal Information

Monitoring Your Accounts

We recommend that you regularly review statements from your accounts and periodically obtain your credit report from one or more of the national credit reporting companies. Under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. You may also directly contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below to request a free copy of your credit report.

Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before extending new credit. If you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any one of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.

Credit Freeze

As an alternative to a credit fraud alert, you may also wish to place a freeze on your credit. If so, please contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below:

You must separately place a credit freeze on your credit file at each credit reporting agency. The following information should be included when requesting a credit freeze:

1. Full name, with middle initial and any suffixes;
2. Social Security number;
3. Date of birth (month, day, and year);
4. Current address and previous addresses for the past five (5) years;
5. Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
6. Other personal information as required by the applicable credit reporting agency;
