INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING ID THEFT FROM YOUR CREDIT REPORT

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOVING ID THEFT FROM YOUR CREDIT REPORT 1. Place a fraud alert on your credit report — by contacting at least one bureau and by law they must share the alert with the other bureaus. 2. Initial alert — good for only 90 days — contact the bureaus and tell them you need to place an ID theft alert on your credit report. 3. Extended alert — good for 7 years — get and send an ID theft police report and a notarized ID theft affidavit to the bureaus. You also need to send in a copy of your Social Security card, or W2 form, a copy of a utility bill with your address, and copy of your driver’s license. Also get a copy of your credit report and circle all items that are involved in the identity theft. Mail complete sets of all of the above to all three bureaus. Equifax P.O.
