Crime Victim Information

Fraud & Identity Theft

Identity theft is when someone uses your personal information such as your Social Security Number or credit card without your permission. If you are a victim of identity theft:

  • Check your accounts.
  • Contact all creditors and financial institutions.
  • Place a fraud alert on your social security number, and obtain a copy of your credit report.
  • Contact the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) no-cost victim assistance number: 1-888-400-5530 or www.idtheftcenter.org. The ITRC can provide victims with valuable information and give you detailed information on what you need to file.
  • Run your credit report quarterly.
  • Contact one of the three companies to place an alert.
    • Equifax : 1-800-525-6285, P.O. Box 740241, Atlanta, GA 30374-0241.
    • Experian: 1-888-397-3742, P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013.
    • TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289, P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92864-6790.
