Do you know how to protect yourself from identity theft? The first and
most important step is to regularly check your credit report.
You do not want to discover a problem with your credit history while you are in
the process of a major purchase such as a new home.
Starting December 1, 2004, consumers in the western United States are
entitled to one free credit report each year, from each of the three
bureaus: Equifax, Experian or TransUnion. Remember you are only entitled to
one free report from each of the three bureaus each year. You can order
all 3 at the same time or space them out over the year. To order your free
credit reports visit
AnnualCreditReport.com.
These free annual credit checkups were mandated by the Fair and Accurate
Credit Transactions Act, signed into law last December by President
Bush. The law includes a number of provisions designed to fend off
identity theft, which hits millions of U.S. consumers each year.
In addition to the Web site, there are alternate methods for consumers
to get their reports. They can call a toll-free number, 877-322-8228,
or send written requests to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P. O.
Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.
