Your Rights and Next Steps

- Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly review your financial statements, explanation of benefits, and credit reports for any suspicious or unauthorized activity.
- Place a Fraud Alert: You can request a one-year fraud alert on your credit files at no cost. This makes it harder for identity thieves to open accounts in your name.
- Consider a Security Freeze: If you are concerned about identity theft, you may place a free security freeze on your credit report. This restricts access to your credit file unless you authorize it.
- Obtain Your Free Credit Report: Federal law entitles you to one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three major credit bureaus.
- Watch for Medical Identity Theft: Review your health insurance statements for unfamiliar services and contact your provider if you see anything suspicious.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you find evidence of fraud, file a police report and report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission.
Even if you have not noticed any misuse of your information, it’s important to remain vigilant. Lawyers are ready to help you understand your rights and take action if your information was compromised.
