ID Theft
Suze Orman said to put a flag on three major credit reporting bureau for ID theft. Anyone know how to do that?
Suze said they will let you know anytime you or anyone else applies for a credit under your name. And she said this is better than getting a credit monitoring subcription as the will notify you after something happened.

- Contact one of the three credit reporting agencies. Requesting a flag w/ one of them will set a flag for all three.
- you write a letter to the credit reporting agencies saying you would like a fraud alert put on report, you'll have to renew it by writing a letter every three months.
- Call Trans Union toll free @ 800-680-7289. They will put it on Fraud Alert and notify the other 2 bureaus for you at no add'l charge. I would also request your free credit report from annualcreditreport.com after it is put on Fraud Alert. You can reach them toll free @ 877-322-8228.
