More often than not, an individual experiences an invasion to something that we all hold dear, our identity. An alerting statistic in 2008 stated that identity theft cases have increased by 22 percent. That fact does not disprove the theory or common knowledge that identity theft will replace terror threats as a breach to every Americans’ right to security and may become the new national security threat.
It is especially important that individuals protect themselves from this threat by:
- exercising precaution
- adding fraud alerts to your credit reports if you become a victim
- shred all financial documents to include pre-approved credit cards, income taxes, credit card information, etc.
- review your monthly statements to ensure that there is not unauthorized use
To exercise precaution, you may want to consider not
- utilizing your pet’s name, children’s name, birthday, or any part of social security number as part of your passwords
- do not write your passwords down anywhere
- make your passwords as long as possible
- avoid repeating characters, letters, or numbers in your passwords
If you unforunately become a victim of identity theft, take action immediately by:
- freezing all credit cards and adding a fraud alert to all accounts
- check your accounts and credit reports to ensure that no new accounts have been opened in your name
- file a police report
In an effort to clear up your identity, you will need to send to each your creditors a copy of your social security card, birth certificate, and utility billl, but do so only by certified mail. Doing this step proves to the creditor who you are, and it also gives the creditor examples of your signature.
There are addition precaution that you can take. AAA offers use of a temporary credit card number when shopping online using your AAA visa account. Check with your credit card company to see if they offer a similar program.
Identity theft will replace terror threats if we do not take ownership of our own security by employing these and other safeguards to protect our identity and/or privacy.

Motivating article – do take into account though that you can call up institutions at which you have existing credit card accounts. Inquire them to change your account to the lowest available rate. Ask them to contemplate your payment history and longtime customer relationship. Search for a business with better rates if your existing credit card business cannot satisfy your application. Look for solicitations in the mail or get in touch with local banks. You can even make contact with with with with either Visa or MasterCard and ask for a list of favored issuers. make contact companies in which you are interested and ask for an application. Inquire whether you can send an submission by call up, fax or Web. Credit card companies look to lure cardholders by mailing offers for low-interest credit cards. A number of companies even offer no-interest credit cards. Ahead of signing up for one of the cards, understand how they work, and read the fine print. Numerous credit cards are not what they seem to be.
