EQUIFAX: Identity Theft – What I had to do!



I highly recommend using a monitoring service. You can save 33% off the already low $9.99 per month by using my link .

My identity was stolen due to the Equifax hack and here is what I had to do.

When you go to FTC.GOV/IDTHEFT
You will follow a link to IdentityTheft.gov
that will allow you to complete your identity theft report.
These two sites provide most of the details on how to protect your identity.

I completed a 90 day -free fraud alert on my account and once I had all the items needed to include a police report. I then mailed everything to add a 7-year fraud alert to all of the major credit agencies.

I hope this helped you and I hope this doesn’t happen to you.

    1) file FTC affidavit; 2) file crime report; 3) cfpb report (optional); 4) submit to all CRAs; 5) call a consumer attorney if the accounts aren’t removed. Many take these cases on Contingency.

    Sigh. Going through it. The loan company are trying to say it isn’t fraud, even though the email and phone number are not mine, but the theif’s. It’s so disgusting. My credit score is wrecked.

    Hi, I am an international student, the scammers got access to my phone, and my details like full name and address, my phone had pictures of my passport and SIN number, I didn't lost any money but I am concerned about them using my information to take loans and credit cards. I only had one bank account that I have already closed and blocked my credit card too. When I went to the police, they just told me its a common scam and they were just after my money so I don't need to worry about it. But I am still concerned. I don't know what to do now just to be on safe side. I tried calling trans union and equifax but it was really hard to understand over the phone. Please help me out.

    What if I’m not sure if my identity’s been stolen or not? A scammer has a copy of my drivers license and my phone number… how do I figure iut if they’ve done something with that?
    Also, if I get my license # changed due to possible identity theft, will that make my car insurance increase?

    Thanks for the upload. I legitimately want to sue Chase for emotional damage the fact that i have to do all this work because a 390 Billion dollar company can't seem to verify their customers is emotionally distressing. Thanks for the video! Tyler

    Thanks for a very informative video! ID theft just happened to me. About how long did it take for your life to return to "somewhat" normal from the time you first were aware of the theft? Thanks. I subscribed to your channel and clicked the bell. Raptor8

    I will not do 2 factor authentication. I will not become my phone. If we managed before cell phones, we can still manage.

    I've fallen victim to identity theft at the moment. Unfortunately they have my ID, my SIN n all. Trying to figure out and stop things before they go back. Please advise if there's anything I can do for the peace of my mind.

    Someone stole my identity and I am not able to get my experian or transunion credit reports because they cant verify my identity, I believe its because they are using the other persons information. I was only able to access my equifax credit report and it has wrong information on it. If I place a fraud alert with equifax will the other two agencies send me the credit reports that I am not able to access? Or how can I get the other two so I know whats wrong on them and what I need to correct?
