Make Your Identity Useless To Thieves
No matter how carefully you guard your identity, it is vulnerable to theft. The best defense is to make your ID useless to thieves–something like a fuel line cut-off system that prevents a stolen car from going more than a few blocks. That powerful protection exists, but the credit industry doesn’t promote it. The three major credit reporting bureaus–Equifax, Experian and Trans Union–allow you to place on your credit files a notice telling prospective creditors to confirm with you by phone applications for new credit made in your name. You’ll know immediately if there’s been identity theft; and imposters will likely move on to easier targets.
