| Has your identity been stolen? Here’s what to do.As of February, 2002, the Federal Trade Commission has simplified the process you'll have to go through to repair your credit after your identity has been stolen. You may now use one form (your affidavit) to report the crime to most creditors and credit reporting bureaus. Download the form from www.consumer.com/idtheft or call (877) ID-THEFT and have the form sent to you. If someone has used your personal identification to fraudulently establish credit, report the incident as quickly as possible to each of the credit reporting agencies and request that a fraud alert be placed on your file.
