The first step in basic proactive identity theft is to place an “Initial Fraud Alert” on all three of your credit reports. This will accomplish three important factors:

1. Your name and personal information can no longer be sold by the credit bureaus to ANY third parties for any marketing purpose (Less junk mail).
2. No one can be approved for credit with your personal information until the creditor personally calls you at the telephone number you list on your consumer credit report.
3. Requesting this initial fraud alert entitles you to a free copy of all three of your credit reports.

*** This “Initial Fraud Alert” will only be active for 90 days.  To extend the fraud alert and obtain the above mentioned benefits for 7 years you will need to write to each credit bureau at the address provided within your initial fraud alert confirmation letter.

Part II of Protecting your credit will be on "Credit Hijacking".
