From SC Department of Consumer Affairs: Identity Theft – Credit Monitoring
Thousands of South Carolina consumers enrolled in the ProtectMyID credit monitoring program, a positive step in minimizing the effects of the breach. ProtectMyID alerts a consumer when new information is posted to their credit report, such as accounts created, change of address and change in public record information. However, it is up to the consumer receiving the alert to verify whether the information was a result of their action or identity theft. Get an alert? Take these FREE steps:
1) Place a fraud alert on your credit reports. You only have to call one of the Credit Reporting Agencies (CRA) and they will notify the other two. This is a FREE service
2) Request your credit reports. A fraud alert allows you to get one free credit report from each credit bureau. You can also get them for free each year by calling 877-382-8228 or visiting www.annualcreditreport.com
3) Review your reports carefully. Look for any signs of identity theft, including incorrect information, accounts you don’t recognize, etc.
4) If you find something wrong, contact the credit reporting company right away.
5) Keep good records and be sure to track the progress of your corrections.
6) Consider a security freeze that puts your credit report on lockdown. It stops a business from accessing your report without permission.
SCDCA aims to protect consumers from inequities in the marketplace through advocacy, complaint mediation, enforcement and education. For more identity theft information, visit www.consumer.sc.gov and click “Identity Theft Resources” or call 1-800-922-1594.
