Identity Theft - Don't be a victim!

Identity theft is a kind of fraud where someone steals your name and personal details to apply for credit or benefits. It is is increasing at over 45% per year, and now costs Britain over £1.3bn yearly.

Are you a victim? Often, your credit report provides the first clue that your identity has been stolen! Identity theft may show up as suspicious credit inquiries, changes of address, accounts in default, or new fraudulent accounts in your name.

It is important to discover identity theft quickly. An identity thief might apply for credit-cards with your name, or your information might be used by a criminal to create false documents. You could be completely unaware of the problem until you have problems opening a utility account, or you are wrongly accused of a crime.

CreditExpert membership provides e-mail alerts of potentially fraudulent activity, and gives you unlimited access to your credit report. Stay informed and enjoy peace of mind!
