If you are or think you are a victim of identity theft, contact one of the three major credit bureaus to have a fraud alert placed on your credit report. You only need to call one of them to have the fraud alert apply to all three:
 
•    Equifax
             1-800-525-6285
             www.equifax.com
             P.O. Box 740241
            Atlanta, GA 30374
•    Experian
             1-888-EXPERIAN
             www.experian.com
             P.O. Box 9532
             Allen, TX 75013
•    TransUnion
             1-800-680-7289
             www.transunion.com
             Fraud Victim Assistance Division
             P.O. Box 6790
