Identity (ID) theft happens when someone steals your personal information to commit fraud. The identity thief may use your information to apply for credit, file taxes, or get medical services. These acts can damage your credit status, and cost you time and money to restore your good name.

Individuals and corporate entities who find anomalies in their credit report and suspect fraudulent activities can raise a fraud alert with our credit bureau, who in turn will contact the credit provider for further investigation.
