 Additional Steps You May Wish to Take:  FREEZE YOUR CREDIT FILE. You have a right to place a ‘security freeze’ on your credit report, which will

prohibit a consumer reporting agency from releasing information in your credit report without your express authorization. A security freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent. However, using a freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal/financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application made regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving extension of credit. Security freeze generally does not apply to existing account relationships and when a copy of your report is requested by existing creditor or its agents or affiliates for certain types of account review, collection, fraud control or similar activities. There is no charge to place or lift a freeze. To place a security freeze on your credit report, contact each of the following credit bureaus and clearly explain in the call/letter that you are requesting a security freeze:

• Equifax, PO Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374, www.equifax.com, 1-800-685-1111
• Experian, PO Box 2002, Allen, TX 75013, www.experian.com, 1-888-397-3742
• TransUnion, PO Box 2000, Chester, PA 19016, www.transunion.com, 1-800-916-8800 To request a security freeze, provide your full name (middle initial, Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.), Social Security Number, date of birth; home addresses over the past 5 years; proof of current address such as a current utility bill or telephone bill; photocopy of government issued identification card (driver’s license or ID card, military ID, etc.); and if you are a victim of identity theft, include a copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft. If you request a security freeze via toll-free telephone or other secure electronic means, credit reporting agencies have 1 business day after receiving the request to place the freeze. In the case of a request made by mail, the agencies have 3 business days after receiving your request to place a security freeze on your credit report. Credit agencies must also send written confirmation within 5 business days and provide a unique personal identification number (PIN) or password, or both that can be used to authorize the removal or lifting of the security freeze. To lift the freeze to allow a specific entity or individual access to your credit report, you must call or send a written request to the credit reporting agencies by mail and include proper identification (name, address, and social security number) and PIN or password provided when you placed the security freeze as well as the identities of those entities or individuals you would like to receive your credit report or the specific period of time you want the credit report available. The credit reporting agencies have 3 business days after receiving a request to lift freeze for those identified entities or for the specified period of time. To remove the freeze, you must send a written request to the 3 credit bureaus by mail and include proper identification (name, address, & social security number) and PIN number or password provided when you placed the freeze. The credit bureaus have 3 business days after receiving the request to remove the freeze.

 PLACE FRAUD ALERTS ON YOUR CREDIT FILE. As an alternative to a security freeze, you have the

right to place an initial or extended fraud alert on your 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 an alert lasting 7 years. Contact the 3 credit reporting agencies listed above to activate an alert.

 REMAIN VIGILANT: REVIEW YOUR ACCOUNT STATEMENTS & REPORT FRAUD. CHANGE PASSWORDS AND SECURITY VERIFICATION QUESTIONS & ANSWERS. Carefully review your credit

reports, debit/credit card, insurance policy, bank account and other account statements. Activate alerts on your bank accounts to notify you of suspicious activity, changing passwords/security verifications as needed – particularly if same password is used over multiple online accounts. If your medical information was involved, it is also advisable to review the billing statements you receive from your healthcare providers. Report suspicious or fraudulent charges to your insurance statements, provider billing statements, credit report, credit card or bank accounts to your insurance company, bank/credit card vendor, healthcare provider and law enforcement, including FTC and/or your State Attorney General.

 ORDER YOUR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORTS. Visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-

322-8228 to obtain one free copy of your credit report annually. Periodically review a copy of your credit report for discrepancies and identify accounts you did not open or inquiries you did not authorize. (For Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and Vermont residents: You may obtain additional copies of your credit report, free of charge. You must contact each of the three credit reporting agencies directly to obtain such additional reports.)
