Reclaiming your identity can be a tedious and frustrating process.

The following steps can help you regain control of your identity:
 |
Credit cards, debit cards, or other bank accounts
If you have reason to believe that an identity thief has tampered with your accounts, close them immediately and open new ones. |
 |
 |
Investments
If you believe that an identity thief has tampered with your securities, investments or brokerage account, immediately report it to your broker or account manager. |
 |
Phone service
If an identity thief has established a new phone service in your name, is making unauthorised calls that seem to come from your cell phone, or is using your calling card and PIN, contact your service provider immediately to cancel the account and/or calling card. Open new accounts and choose new PINs. |
