Did your ex kill your credit?

Hopefully you are reading this BEFORE you become the victim of credit fraud.... If you live with someone who is running crazy with credit, married to someone with an addiction or recently divorced to someone who you no longer trust, you should submit a fraud victim's alert with the major credit agencies. A fraud victim's alert will put the credit agencies on notice that there is a potential fraud that might be perpetrated against you. It doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to get credit, but it does let the credit reporting agencies know that there is a danger that someone is potentially looking to steal your identity.

Each agency has its own form that you can fill out and submit to them. Remember, your credit is your responsibility. Doing proactive things to protect your credit is your responsibility. Contact each credit reporting agency and ask them how you can protect yourself by filing a fraud victim’s alert.
