Warning Signs

Often, there are no warning signs that identity theft has occurred.
However, some reasons for concern are:

  • Your monthly credit card and bank statements suddenly stop arriving.

  • You are denied credit for no apparent reason.

  • You start getting bills from companies you do not recognize.

  • Credit collection agencies try to collect on debts that do not belong to you.
