~IDENTITY THEFT CONTINUED~

After spending hours trying to rectify her bout with theft, my sister was given very valuable information from our grandmother. She had kept this information for several years waiting for an occasion to use it. She gave my sister three phone numbers for the credit reporting agencies so she could report the theft (listed below). When she called Equifax she was surprised and delighted. The call was automated, easy, and offered the following free services.
**They would contact the other two agencies for her.
**If anyone attempts to pull/access her credit within 90 days she will be contacted.
**One free credit report.

Not only did this put her mind at ease, but also made her life much easier. I hope that these numbers will help someone in a similar unfortunate circumstance. Pass It Along!!!

Equifax- 800-525-6285*
Experian- 888-397-3742
Trans-Union- 800-680-7289
Social Security-800-269-0271

*The number referred to above.
