Check your credit reports annually from Equifax‚ Experian‚ and TransUnion by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com. Monitor existing credit card and financial institution accounts closely for charges that are not recognized. GreenPath can help you dispute inaccurate information.
Consider placing a credit freeze on your files if your identity has been stolen or compromised. A credit freeze makes it harder for someone to open a new account in your name‚ but it won’t prevent charges from occurring on existing accounts.
