If you become a victim of identity theft, quick action can help minimize the damage. These seven steps can help restore your identity and your peace of mind:

1. Place a fraud alert on your credit reports.
Contact one of the major credit bureaus – Experian®, Equifax®, or TransUnion® to add a fraud alert to your credit report. The first bureau you contact will alert the other two bureaus to your request. When you place a fraud alert, it flags your credit file and asks lenders and other creditors to contact you before authorizing new accounts in your name.

2. Freeze Your Credit
Placing a credit freeze, also known as a security freeze, helps to prevent unauthorized access to your credit file. Available from all three major credit agencies for free, credit freezes can only be lifted by the Personal Identification Number or PIN provided by the bureau when you placed the freeze.

3. Review your credit report
Take a look at your credit report to make sure no new accounts have been opened using your name. Every 12 months, you are entitled to receive a free annual credit report from each bureau at AnnualCreditReport.com. If you spot suspicious information or errors, alert the credit bureau and your lenders.

4. Contact the Federal Trade Commission
File an identity theft report with the Identity Theft Reporting Center at the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC offers advice on restoration services and can also help you create a personalized identity theft response plan.

This identity theft report is a vital part of your identity restoration process. With it, you can file a police report and provide proof of identity theft to other agencies and organizations.

Once you file your FTC report, you will receive an Identity Theft Victim's Complaint and Affidavit so you can evaluate your ID theft experience and determine what to do next. The affidavit covers questions such as: Do you know who stole your identity? Has your personal data already been used by the identity thief? What type identity theft are you reporting?

5. Assess Your ID Damage
Make a list of all stolen items, such as your Social Security number, credit and debit card numbers, and email addresses. Keep hard copies and digital files for your records, law enforcement, and other agencies.

6. Contact your Creditors and Key Agencies
Contact your lenders and other creditors to notify them of any fraudulent accounts created using your name. Keep an eye on your financial statements and credit report to make sure fraudulent activity doesn't occur and report it if it does. Also, contact agencies responsible for issuing any stolen documents or identification to report the theft, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles for your driver's license.

7. Change your account passwords
Make your new passwords stronger, more unique, and more complex to help prevent future identity theft.

After identity theft has occurred, it's important to continue to monitor your personal information with credit monitoring and dark web monitoring. Identity thieves often wait years to use, sell or buy personal your data on the dark web. While credit monitoring will help you spot any new accounts in your name and other potential signs of fraud, dark web monitoring will notify you if your information is found at risk online.
